Study Finds Skeptics Engage in More Eco-Friendly Behaviors Than Those 'Highly Concerned' About Climate

[Dashinka 24,765]

A new study revealed that climate skeptics engage in more environmentally friendly behaviors than people who are “highly concerned” about climate change.

The study, from Cornell University and the University of Michigan, looked at 600 American adults and classified them by how much they cared about climate change.

Although highly concerned individuals showed the most support for government climate policies, they were less likely than “skeptical” individuals — who pushed away from government intervention — to engage in behaviors like recycling and riding the bus.

I have seen similar studies about how the left likes to brag about giving to charity while not actually doing it and the right tends to give without talking about it. The left is all talk and no action on the issues they virtue signal about.

Considering the biggest spokespeople for the Global Warmist are Al Gore and Leonardo D. I am not surprised.

But the Right can't seem to find money to help people (Medicaid, Medicare, SS etc) but they have no problem in finding money to kill people (Military, Wars). Not trying to be black and white here but you get my point.

No it's the left who can't find money to "help" (help them sit on their lazy butts eating Cheetos and watching day time television) people so they advocate for government to take it forcibly from people (who for the most part already give to charity). The left also likes to forcibly take money and give it to groups who kill babies. How's that for black and white?

And this has to do with the OP how?
