Indeed, if there is any doubt that liberal alarmism no less than conservative skepticism is driven by ideological commitments — and not a realistic assessment of actual risk and achievable solutions — Yale Universitys Dan Kahan research ought to put them to rest. He found that when geo-engineering — pumping sulfates into the atmosphere to deflect heat — is offered as the solution to climate catastrophe instead of emission restrictions, liberals become far more questioning of global warming science. Why? Because, presumably, it does nothing to curb Western greed. Conversely, geo-engineering makes conservatives far more accepting of the science, likely because it avoids Big Government. Thanks to Aaron Haskins for the find.
