Bingo. Religion relies on ignorance and delusion. What easier group is there to lie to than the already deluded and ignorant? Which group sees science as an enemy of their delusion and ignorance? Which group denies the reality of AGW? Couple this ignorance with their innate paranoia and...

Only one problem with Robin's (what are his qualifications?) "thinking". The earth has not stopped or even slowed down in it's warming trend. In fact recent studies show that not only is the earth still warming, but the rate of warming is increasing. But this article is what we have come to...

No, nothing will change. Their brains are different. Conservatives, more likely to have an enlarged amygdala, would tend to process information initially using emotion. According to Kanai, Conservatives respond to threatening situations with more aggression than do liberals and are more...

continued... Finally, how can this information be used for good (and not evil)? Well, it’s clear that there are group differences in party thinking style. When a party is trying to rally its base and speak to their own, they will use those communication styles that work for them, which makes...

Remember, conservatives were found to have a larger right amygdala, the side activated when attempting to hide or suppress and emotional reaction, rather than using logic and reason to reassess a situation, which would activate the left side. Let’s assume, for sake of discussion, that all of...

Conservatives Big on Fear, Brain Study Finds Are people born conservative? Peering inside the brain with MRI scans, researchers at University College London found that self-described conservative students had a larger amygdala than liberals. The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure deep in...

Conservatives’ entire message was one of doom and gloom and woe and bloody tears. The commies are coming for you! The terrorists are coming for you! The gays are coming for you! The gun grabbers and the job stealers and the Ebola are coming, oh yes they are, on a tide of filthy brown Spanish...

It is encouraging but until the true cost of fossil fuel use is included market forces cannot properly work their magic and solar will remain a bit player. We are currently not paying the true cost for fossil fuel use.

And what is the safest source of power? Nuclear. By far. Safer than solar, hydro and wind. To save the earth we need to rapidly increase the safest source of energy that we have to get us over the hump until fusion comes online.

No, there is and has always been positive feedbacks to rising temps and this principle certainly does not require Hansen. Rising water vapor, new open areas of dark, low albedo, ice-free water and release of CO2 and methane from thawing soils all work as positive feedback mechanisms. You...

Triumph of the Wrong NOV. 6, 2014 The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet midterms to men of understanding. Or as I put it on the eveof another Republican Party sweep, politics determines who has the power, not who has the truth...

No. Once again with regards to AGW you are simply wrong. Hansen is inconsequential. What IS consequential is that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the levels of which regulate the the temperature of the planet. You seem to be obsessed with Hansen which is a common way for the deniers to personalize...

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Monday released a report asserting decisively that climate change poses an immediate threat to national security, with increased risks from terrorism, infectious disease, global poverty and food shortages. It also predicted rising demand for military disaster...

Election Results Make U.S. Congress Action on Climate Change Even Less Likely Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell, who will lead the Senate, emphasizes coal-mining jobs over warnings from scientists. Republicans won control of the Senate for the first time in eight years and expanded their...

Here's another way of looking at it...... A question that frequently arises in popular discussion of climate change is whether there is a scientific consensus on climate change.[122] Several scientific organizations have explicitly used the term "consensus" in their statements: American...

"but it is wildly inaccurate and holding onto it in the face of scientific evidence to the contrary makes the assertion seem like zealotry." +1 Good observation and rational thinking there. Kinda sounds like the GOP and something else. Now what was that thing that scientists believe and...

Here's another way... No scientific body of national or international standing maintains a formal opinion dissenting from any of these main points. The last national or international scientific body to drop dissent was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists,[10] which in 2007[11]...

Here's another way.

Here's another way of looking at it.

Well, it's relevant because if nothing else, the earth and it's people will now suffer more because less will be done about climate change with the GOP in control.
