Timeline for right wingers acceptance of mainstream science:
On the Origin of Species was published in 1859. 156 years later most polling indicates that approximately 37% of conservatives accept the Theory of Evolution. Thus we can conclude that by 2060 the majority of conservatives will accept what has been universally accepted in science for 150 years now.
The first IPCC assessment was released in 1990. Thus we can assume that the majority of conservatives will not accept AGW until approximately 2190. As it seems to take approximately 8 generations for conservatives to arrive at the same position that mainstream science can arrive at in 1 generation. :2razz:
This pretty much sums up the climate change deniers. They are in the proud tradition of conservative ignorance and backward anti-science.
