I guess what I don't understand is the "climate change denier" correlating that to "more money out of your pocket" or tax increases.
As a person who likes science, the scientific method, and reason, I don't see that the scientists doing the hard work are at a basic level people who support taxing the ever loving crap out of things.
Climate change has become politicized so much that people don't trust the scientific method. They prefer to listen to their favorite brand of politics tell them climate change isn't real (snowball on the house floor), or that it is (while flying expensive private jet all over the world).
