@SamCrawley@politicalscience Not a critique of the work per se, but I really wish that the discourse would move away from the term "belief" when applied to climate science.
Either someone accepts the evidence, or they don't.
@phil_stevens@politicalscience Agree that it's about accepting science (or not)
At the same time, this really is about people's belief systems. That's really what I'm talking about when I say climate is a cultural issue, fewer cultural conservatives accept climate science. So in that respect it is about "belief" (in my view at least)
(Arguably, we often engage with science through our belief systems, since it's impossible for anyone to understand all science).
