Abstract
We examine whether conservative white males are more likely than are other adults in the U.S. general public to endorse climate change denial. We draw theoretical and analytical guidance from the identity-protective cognition thesis explaining the white male effect and from recent political psychology scholarship documenting the heightened system-justification tendencies of political conservatives. We utilize public opinion data from ten Gallup surveys from 2001 to 2010, focusing specifically on five indicators of climate change denial. We find that conservative white males are significantly more likely than are other Americans to endorse denialist views on all five items, and that these differences are even greater for those conservative white males who self-report understanding global warming very well. Furthermore, the results of our multivariate logistic regression models reveal that the conservative white male effect remains significant when controlling for the direct effects of political ideology, race, and gender as well as the effects of nine control variables. We thus conclude that the unique views of conservative white males contribute significantly to the high level of climate change denial in the United States.

Highlights
► Conservative white males are more likely than other Americans to report climate change denial. ► Conservative white males who self-report understanding global warming very well are even more likely. ► Climate change denial is an example of identity-protective cognition. ► System-justifying tendencies lead to climate change denial. ► Climate change denial increased from 2001 to 2010.

Here's your problem. Nobody is denying climate change. Obviously, climate change has been going on since the beginning of time. The earth has evolved from molten rock, to freezing ice ball and everything in between many many times. It's been happening for billions of years and will continue until the end.

... and man has only been alive on the planet for an extremely small amount of the time (in which all those climate changes have taken place), so man couldn't have possibly had anything to do with what happened over many millions of years.

What really gets me is these people think that we as humans think we can stop it from happening, really?
It happen before us, it will happen long after we are gone, some people are just so full of themselves.
Like we can control the weather,or a time machine, oh wait forgot about that documentary by Jules Verne.

They seem to have themselves convinced that if us dumbass whitey males agree with them- they win the debate and the climate will mysteriously correct itself. Then we can sing Kumbaya and everything will be "sunshine and lollipops."

+1. While I am certain we have significant affect to our immediate environment here on Earth (via pollution, habitat loss, species extinction, human overpopulation, etc...), and even if these impacts are leading to weather changes, nature will take care of itself. It may not be like it is now, not even remotely similar. But our impact to anything is infinitessimal in the grand scheme. Even if every country launches all of their nukes at the same time and oblitterates the earth, who will miss us? Who will even know? Time and space will move on, just as it always has, with or without us. The universe will not care.

Dang. It is on the internet, so it must be true. Guess I need to just kill myself now and get it over with.
