"Stuff white people like: denying climate change" (Grist)
Brilliant
There's a study running soon in the journal Global Environmental Change called "Cool dudes: The denial of climate change among conservative white males in the United States." It analyzes poll and survey data from the last 10 years and finds that ... are you sitting down? ... conservative white men are far more likely to deny the threat of climate change than other people.
OK, that's no surprise to anyone who's been awake over the last decade. But the paper goes beyond that to put forward some theories about why conservative white men (CWM) are so loathe to accept climate change. The explanation is some mix of the following, all of which overlap in various ways:
First there's the "white male effect" -- generally speaking, white males are less concerned with a variety of risks. This probably has to do with the fact that they are less exposed to risk than other demographics, what with running things and all.
Then, as Chris Mooney notes, there's the "social dominance orientation" of conservatives, who see social life as following the law of the jungle. One's choice is to dominate or be dominated; that is the natural order of things. Such folk are leery of climate change solutions premised on fairness or egalitarianism.

Whitey doesn't sweat to eat.
Whitey owns everything.
Whitey runs society.
Whitey don't like fairness.
Whitey is going to get you killed.
If you don't believe in climate change you're just like whitey.

Seems to me, being just like whitey is what nearly all DUmp democrats want, but fail to achieve,
and it's what then causes their vicious jealousy.

Yeah, all that observational science pulling the rug out from under the primitive modelling projections was probably done by White males, so it's just a bunch of racist crap!!!111!!!

White conservative males are superior in all ways....Hey, what can I say, their very own scientific study proves it.

Fixed.
How does this theory handle white women?

That's the interesting thing about liberals.
They claim to be the creed of fact over faith, science over wish-thinking, observation over revelation...
...and yet, when confronted with a successful, prosperous culture their every waking thought is to belittle, vilify and destroy that culture; never to emulate or duplicate.
So much for practicality.
How does this theory handle white women?
A woman's place is in the kitchen abortion clinic.

Repug women like what their men tell em to like. [/DU mode off]

From the wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grist.org
Grist (originally Grist Magazine; also referred to as Grist.org) is a free American liberal[1] non-profit online magazine that has been publishing environmental news and commentary with a wry twist since 1999.
Quite the reliable source you got there, DUmbass.

Did you see their source in the article?
...the journal Global Environmental Change...
A so-called scientific journal that presupposes the conclusions of what it studies.
Hardly science.

Climate change----darn what a new concept, sort of like the idea in the early 1960's that the Russians had developed a machine to control the weather.
Insane idea that we humans can in any way influence the weather of the world, AND, why should we.
ADAPT or DIE is the name of the game, brings a rise in new inventions to survive, civilisations immigrated world wide when their weather made it difficult to stay in one place.
Climate is just weather in any other name. New and different crops to grow, new species to eat and cloth ourselves with.
We cannot expect to survive if we do not adapt to the natural changes around us. We can plant trees to bring the rain, seed clouds for rain, find new ways to irrigate crops, takes allot of work but we do it regardless.
The midwest is so hot and dry this year, if this cycle continues for another 5 years, the people will have to adapt, change their old way of building homes, different crops that can with stand the heat and little rain.
Some are adapting to the changes in our oceans and seas, farmed fish and artificial oyster farms, farmed crawfish and cat fish. We have State Trout farms that place millions of these baby's in lakes and ponds to grow and be caught.
When our lakes dry up from change, the sediment they leave behind can be plowed and planted, or dug out for the richest fertilizer on earth.
We humans adapt to changes in our lives, we are once young then grow old. Every day is an adaption process for us, we have accidents, loose a job, become ill, friends and family die, yet, we adapt and go on.
No reason to cry and lament change, we all change every day, nothing we can do about it but prepare for the worse, and have an idea of how we can survive on earth come what may.

YT has a far more logical and clear thinking brain. More engineers are white.

Gee, whodathunk something as indiscriminate as the weather could actually target minorities? Silly me, I always thought that in the heat of summer when everything is bone dry that the streets of the 'hood were wet because the hydrants were opened for the kids to play in. Obviously it was raining there the whole time just because they're black and it's all Whitey's fault.

These libs are shameless, using the climate sham as a foil of racism in order to keep the whole of the African American community on the County Farm.

Wasn't it just last week that it was global warming? What a laughing stock all you tree huggers have become.
