Climate change religiosity by the left is a myth perpetuated by the Fox News type.
Other than college campus liberals, who are just stupid about everything, most people on the left treat climate change skepticism like they treat skepticism about how kidneys function or the structure of DNA: These are exceptionally well-established theories and you better have some god damned exceptional evidence to support a more plausible alternative hypothesis, or reject the current one.
That evidence does not exist.
Ironically, many of the half-baked criticisms that people come up with resemble those employed by evangelicals in their limp-dicked attempts to dispute evolution, like irreducible complexity or intelligent design.
It should also raise an eyebrow that most of the scientists skeptical of climate change are paid off by fossil fuel companies. There are very few wealthy stakeholders in climate change regulation.
However, that doesn't make the notion of a "Green New Deal" any less retarded. That would be as big a waste of money as a wall on the mexican border.
