The big question is why do conservatives want SOOOO badly not to believe what scientists say about the plight of our planet? I'll bet is has something to do with money and their precious "job creators" in some way.
What is it about leaning right politically that makes them automatically fall in line with the consensus that scientist don't know what they're talking about? Have you listened to some of these Republican morons in our house and senate? Most of them don't sound qualified to talk about how to put pants on. They hit the same talking points, such as "Well I'm no scientist so I'm not qualified to talk about it" -- which is stupid on so many levels I don't even know where to start with it.
Not being concerned about it means you're sticking your head in the sand. I have a daughter, and I'd like for her to not have to defend her desert fortress from marauding water bandits when she's 25.
