Reply from Jesse Taylor
do hate her, but probably had a great influece it. It’s kind of suck the situation, because you can really do something. Just make sure you do not want it, even if it is for you. In this respect, it will have nothing against you.

Q&A: Does your climate change belief hinge on your cultural outlook or values?
Question by Ottawa Mike: Does your climate change belief hinge on your cultural outlook or values?
According to a recent study, how you accept or reject information might have something to do with your perception of the world: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124008307&ft=1&f=1007&sc=YahooNews
Now I have a certain problem with this. Take this following statement from that article:
“Over the past few months, polls show that fewer Americans say they believe humans are making the planet dangerously warmer, despite a raft of scientific reports that say otherwise.”
I believe this effect is at least if not more pronounced in the UK (don’t know about elsewhere). So my question (i.e. my problem) is this: How could so many people have changed their minds in such a short period of time? It would be easily explained, according to that article, if they somehow changed their values. That seems unlikely, so what is another possible reason?
It appears from the following statement that social scientists can explain this:
“This puzzles many climate scientists — but not some social scientists, whose research suggests that facts may not be as important as one’s beliefs.”
Their (social scientists) thesis states that beliefs are more important than facts which usually indicates that regardless of what comes out about AGW, people would simply keep believing whatever they believe. Am I missing something here?

No, unless you consider a belief in science a “cultural outlook”.
I’m with the Admiral:
“I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. As I looked at it on my own, I couldn’t come to any other conclusion. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”
