Quote:This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.  Your point of view on whether man made global climate change exists is all stirred into a soup that includes politics (and paranoia).   Your view on whether the problem exists is driven by your fear of the potential solutions that you think you can foresee:  big government, assault on capitalism, the leftists taking over, etc.   We shouldn't be mixing the politics in with the science.   We have to separate the question of whether the problem exists from the question of what, if anything we want to do about it.   Those are two different questions.  

 

There are two questions:

1) Is there a problem.

2) If there is a problem, do we want to do anything about it. 

 

But what you have decided is that you don't want to do anything about it, therefore, you deny there is a problem.   It's like if there was a deadly disease sweeping the country, and the solution was a government effort to get everyone vaccinated, and you don't like big government, therefore you deny the existence of the disease.
