There’s a ‘type’ when it comes to climate change denial it turns out – and it’s a pretty simple one: old, white and racist.

Researchers found that American voters with the highest levels of racial resentment were far more likely to dispute the idea of man-made climate change.

Researcher Salil Benegal at DePauw University analysed data from American National Election Studies – and found that Republicans with high racial resentment scores were 84% likely to disagree with man-made climate change.

Previous Pew research has shown that climate change deniers tend to be old and white.

The scores were measured on likelihood of agreeing with sentiments such as, ‘If Blacks would only try harder, they could be just as well off as whites.’

White Republicans with high scores for racial resentment were three times as likely to disagree with a statement that climate change was real than White Republicans with lower racism scores.

Benegal told Sierra Club the phenomenon may be linked to Barack Obama’s policies on the environment.

The study was probably paid for by the same people that pay to make up global warming stories.
People that don’t believe lies are much smarter than your average democrat voter.

Curse all Whites!

Everything bad is the fault of Whites!

Whites are genetically evil!

Disenfranchise Whites in every way possible!

/ People who say that they are against racism

Did I mention, proponents of man-made climate change also tend to be nuts...

Bernie Sanders: Climate Change is Directly Related To Terrorism

by Michelle Fields

"In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism," said Sanders.

"And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you're going to see counties all over the world...they're going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you're going to see all kinds of international conflict."

Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America's national security and to security of the world. ..."

Try better, not just “harder.”

[pepsi_junkie]

So they did a survey and people said “Yeah I deny climate change. And I’m racist too!”? OR did they make that part up based on “oh they’re white and southern so...”

Oh...and racist too. As compared to racist, socialist thugs who believe in BS that is ‘climate change’?

More dangerous subversive BS.

“Study” finds. Yeah, Ok.

[madprof98]

Ah, yes, the deplorable bitter clingers!

[Bob434]

first- hardly anyone denies the climate has changed- Climates always change- always has, always will- What we deny is that man is responsible- our CO2 amounts to just 0.00136% of the atmosphere- Please tell the world how just 0.0013% of the atmosphere can possibly trap enough heat to warm the globe?

Climate Change Deniers are the last ones left with common sense.

In my experiance blacks are the Americans with the highest level of racial resentment.

By a large margin.

Climate change believers tend to be young, naive, stupid, indoctrinated, and liberal.
