What are the political motivations to denying the human component of Global Climate Change?

No, I think most conservatives oppose global warming theory because the majority of liberals support it. I'm not saying that conservatives are unique in opposing a view point because the other supports it, but it seems to be the trajectory of current politics to simply oppose the others viewpoint. Bipartisanship is the true myth IMO.

The costs of addressing climate change and potential harm to the economy seem to be the rallying points for opposition to climate change policy, but the fiscally conservative view point doesn't pass the smell test when one takes into account potential impacts on the economy from a, potentially, rapidly changing climate. Edit - Mike L personifies my point exactly - "It's scam and a lie, I don't believe that nonsense." What utter nonsense that statement is, I think that's what we call a paradox.

If it's true it's not for economic reasons it's for practical reasons. We don't fix things that can't be fixed because someone has started screaming the sky is falling. You're analogy is way off, it's sort of like saying the patient could have cancer but just in case let's radiate him just to make sure we kill any that's there.

Give me something more than irrational links to bad weather, unfounded claims of the unprecedentedness of everything, and doomsday scenarios that have been predicted ad nauseum by extremist since the dawn of man.

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.
