What does that tell you about climate change?

I'm not even REMOTELY surprised by those findings. At all.

Last time I seen the numbers broke down, it was about 55% men conservative 45% men liberal, and women were 55% liberal and 45% conservative.

That is based on voting record for presidential candidates.

Since liberals tend to buy into climate change crap more, and women are make up more liberals than men, this shouldn't be a surprise.

SO women are gullible? No shit...

Not surprising.

The global warming/climate change crap, like all liberal causes, is peddled using emotional pleas.

Women are more likely to be Democrats and Liberals as well.

These ideologies appeal to the emotional side of issues, they engage people to follow their "feelings" instead of using logic.

So when people want their followers to become engaged in an issue they use tactics that get them emotionally riled up.

And we see that in every campaign Liberals and Democrats start.

If I heard an UNBIASED view from "climate scientists", I would be receptive to their findings as well.

What does that tell you about climate change?

That women (as a group - not individuals) fail in science and math?

"Science"...HA!

Things women believe: Tea leaves, astrology, phrenology, palm reading, and climate science.

Actually not believing in some type of man made climate change is pretty much the definition of thinking with emotion and denying most of the non oil/coal/gas sponsored scientific community.

Why is this even a study? Don't these scientists need to be studying how to clean black people's genitals or chinese hookers or something?

Title was very misleading.

Posted: 9/15/2010 11:24:38 AM EDT

[#37]

Climate "science" which is really just political/policy posturing, is all based on non-scientific pseudo hypothesis about the climate and how it relates to mankind.

Any rational examination of the natural processes and variations and comparing those to the input that mankind has on those systems should leave little doubt that mankinds current and forseeable activities could not effect the climate in the way that is claimed.

Women moreso than men (statistically) are more likely to respond to emotion based pseudo science and political posturing than are men, so the results of this poll are not surprising in the least.
