A large percentage of Republicans, at least in Texas, believe the following: Earth is 6 - 8 thousand years old God is in control of the Earth and we can not do anything about it Privatizing everything is the solution to everything Science is a farce and should be disregarded All scientist are on the government payroll, except the ones that deny global warming The only factor concerning the heating of the Earth is the Sun and God and we can not do anything about it either Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are truthful scientist that know everything concerning science Any cold day is sufficient evidence that AGW is a hoax Winters are strong evidence that AGW is a hoax To address your questions: Senator James M. Inhofe is from Oklahoma. Oklahoma is an oil state.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is considered to be a RINO by any "true" Republican.
I think Arnold is an exception among Republicans, and the Bush quote is not representative of his administration policy / practice. Many Republicans may yet believe that climate change is *good*, becuase it will stimulate plant growth or open up real estate markets in Greenland. Fighting it is only an excuse to raise taxes, and for the wrong people to get rich.
The 'scam' will be bad for business, and therefore bad for people, who need jobs created by businesses. There is much division among scientists, and believers are simply gullible, or part of the great conspiracy. I have also seen "God would not do such a thing to us".
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
