both , can confusing. in order understand agw (man made global warming) have understand co2 greenhouse gas , without greenhouse gasses earth average temperature 33c colder (a giant snowball). problem have added 40% more co2 atmosphere , cause atmosphere retain more of heat sun. there not 1 scientist denies these facts (although 1 denier tries claim 3%)


climate change deniers either extreme free marketeers or conspiracy theorists (with sprinkling of young earth creationist in section)

although domain experts agree human co2 emissions altering world’s climate, segments of public remain unconvinced scientific evidence. internet blogs have become vocal platform climate denial, , bloggers have taken prominent , influential role in questioning climate science. report survey (n > 1100) of climate blog users identify variables underlying acceptance , rejection of climate science. paralleling previous work, find endorsement of laissez-faire conception of free-market economics predicts rejection of climate science (r .80 between latent constructs). endorsement of free market predicted rejection of other established scientific findings, such facts hiv causes aids , smoking causes lung cancer. additionally show endorsement of cluster of conspiracy theories (e.g., cia killed martin-luther king or nasa faked moon landing) predicts rejection of climate science rejection of other scientific findings, above , beyond endorsement of laissez-faire free markets. provides empirical confirmation of previous suggestions conspiracist ideation contributes rejection of science. acceptance of science, contrast, associated perception of consensus among scientists.
