Conservative Americans consistently distrust science

Conservative people in America appear to distrust science more broadly than previously thought. Not only do they distrust science that does not correspond to their worldview. Compared to liberal Americans, their trust is also lower in fields that contribute to economic growth and productivity.

Sounds about right.

So genius, what is it this time, the melting polar icepack, global warming, the environment, shrinking rain forest, the world's going to end(pick a date), ozone layer depletion? Remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? It's an old childhood tale, but I think it applies to you.

A better track record than Dispensationalist pastors predicting the end of the world….
see that unhinged numerology thread that was originally posted in the Football forum yesterday.
I don’t mind people being skeptical of science or scientists but people won’t apply that same skepticism to their own sources authority…which more often than not is some talking head on a podcast or a conservative leaning news network/youtube channel.

What you meant to say was this. Let me help you. Because people on this board don't agree with your every word, or they are not Tiggy, Lester PBT, Birm, or Catahoula, they are automatically deemed a moron, or even worse a cult member, or a Trump worshipper. There, I've solved your problem. Now, run along, little genius.

One of the examples you attempted to use to discredit science is, in fact, one of the best examples in human history of nations working together to remove a threat that was both revealed and resolved by science.

CFC ozone depletion was proved via science - man = primary cause of warming - no
Apr 19, 2025, 7:56 AM
[ in reply to Re: Conservative Americans consistently distrust science ] |

Man made CFCs as the cause of atmospheric ozone depletion was scientifically proven.
Man made CO2 as being the primary cause of global warming has not been proven via science. (Convenient) intuition from scientists who keep getting new grant money from the Dept of Energy, EPA, etc is not science.
“Scientists” that are spouting the man-made CO2 as being the primary cause of global warming are frauds. They have never considered the huge changes underway beneath the earth’s crust as being a potential significant factor.
Magma currents beneath the earth’s crust have been changing … rapidly … in an extent never before recognized by science. We know this ‘magma currents trajectory change’ is happening via science; the unprecedented movement in the North Pole proves this.

True science does not draw conclusions when key potential variables are ignored.

Conservation of energy is a thing. The earth’s core generates heat by radioactive decay and viscous dissipation in the molten core, but the overwhelming source of heat for the plant is the sun. When you add chemicals to the atmosphere that absorb IR the planet radiates back to space, the total energy of the planet increases. It’s basic, basic science that was predicted many years before actual evidence.

He's a sharp guy who's done well for himself. He believes in science, medicine, vaccines, etc. Just very conservative - mostly on government spending and taxation.
Maga is a whole different animal, and don't get me started on the rally-goers.

Yes. Traditional conservatives know Trump is a clown. Some back him because they think they can get what they want from him. And since he will do anything for the right amount of money, that’s a good play if they are rich enough. I think most have had enough of him, especially as he tries to dismantle the whole cold war security arrangements that traditional conservatives helped design. Every previous republican president would disavow him if they were alive, if only because of his love affair with Putin.
MAGA is a toxic mix of societal dregs (racist, nazi, bigots, pedophiles, and whatever you consider the worst trash), pseudo-religious evangelicals who think he was chosen by God, undereducated “populists” who actually believe his lies, and now a lot of 20-something incels from the musk/rogan corner of the pornosphere.

I do not distrust science. I do question some things in “science”. When I was in college we were taught to question everything because it’s the basis for new discovery. Is that still a thing or do we now blindly follow anything and everything g labeled as science? I’m sorry but when I hear someone say “the science is settled” I ask questions. It does not mean I reject whatever is “settled” but I will ask a few questions.

"Settled science" has joined "racist" and many other words that the left uses to shut down debate for which they are never prepared. Then they'll tell you the planet will be uninhabitable in ten years, men can give birth, and a whole host of other ridiculous assertions and then have the complete lack of self awareness to call you names when you express even the slightest skepticism. Tells you all you need to know about who the real cult members are.

At one time the science was settled on cutting people open so that they could bleed out illnesses. 100 years from now there will be 'settled science" of today that people will laugh about. Unless, of course, there's no more questioning of "settled science", and we stop evolving our knowledge base.
