Why are most Republicans in denial when it comes to the global warming?

What's up with the Republicans when it comes to searching the solutions for the global warming, environmental pollution, green house gas emission, air and water pollution etc., ? Why can't they take some responsibilities to the global warming?

1. Maybe because they haven't seen Gore's movie.
2. Because then they would probably lose business and money from their allies....Oil countries, big biz...etc etc
3. because some (not all) of us (me included) don't believe in it...plus if I'm wrong I get beach front property!
4. They ARE the ones who are responsible...however, to correct what they have done wrong will require them to give up something...money. And that's a big no no.
5. caz they are cowards
6. Talk to a geologist. Global warming is a natural cycle of the earth, not a problem caused by pollution. I'm not a republican.
7. Because we research it and make up our own minds and are not told what to believe!!! For every article that supports the THEORY of global warming there are three to debunk it!!!!!
8. What are you going to do about global warming? Oh yeah, NOTHING!!!! LiberaL: A whining pile of loose lipped communist.
9. there is no global warming going to happen buddy. just to let u know.
10. My solution is to harvest the water since we have a "drought" problem. Too bad all of the politicians who advocate global warming, don't see this obvious solution EDIT: Wow, the libbies don't understand that I am conservative and they should give me a thumbs down. Did I... out think global warming? Or think of a real solution for it?
11. Republicans do not take responsibilities. That is the core philosophy of their party. They attempt to avoid responsibility by calling global warming nonexistent, calling starvation a mild food shortage, calling liberal ideas un-American, and calling public health care communist.
12. They know it's real, they just don't care because they'll all be dead before it really becomes a problem. Just like the deficit.
13. I am a Republican and i am not in Denial, I read someplace that Global warming is the reason Britney had to shave!!
14. they will cry to their mommy, when repubs will face the consequences. right wingers are very short sighted.
15. The same could be asked of Clinton and Gore. They had eight-years to work on this but did little to nothing.
16. Ignorance, greed, there let's screw over the earth now and not worry about it later attitude. It's strikes me odd that a party that is supposedly so concerned about babies rights, don't give a rat's a-s-s about the very enviroment those babies will grow up in. Never could figure that out.
17. Cause they're cold blooded and control their body temperature by thermoregulation......
18. They all own stock in the companies that are screwing up the environment. So they don't give a flying f**k what happens to the rest of the world as long as they get theirs. They don't see the long term effects will affect them also. They only see their ingrained need for greed.
19. Because we're not so full of ourselves that we'd think we could actually affect the long term climate of the planet. And, those who believe that humans are the cause of "global warming" know nothing about statistical analysis. While estimating event from interpolation can be fairly accurate, it is a fundamental error to believe one can accurate predict events based on extrapolation. Besides, the expert weather guessers can't even predict next week's weather, yet alone next year's. What makes you think they can tell what will happen in the next 50. But hey, forget logic. I guess if it makes you feel better, then it must be true.
20. I dont know-I am a Republican, but I think we should at least look into this more. I love air too much. I think hydrogen cars are in the future, but not syre how soon.
21. Because there is no silution to global warming as of yet. If we stop all pollution the earth will still get warmer. Why? It is a natural cycle of earth because the earth is a ever changing landscape and it is naive to think it isnt. Those who believe republicans are responsible for global warming, pollution are very naive. On a final note on enviromental pollution the best solution is to just throw everything in the trash. Recycling causes more pollution than just throwing it away and economics keeps companies from creating more waste not the democrats. The more a company wastes the less its profit. I am a deomcrat and stop blaming them for the illwills of the natururally changing enviroment and start blaming them for the things they really do such as sending us to pointless wars and making all americans look like guntoting atomic families.
22. Well, most Republicans are too greedy to take care of the environmental issues. Period.
23. Why are Democrats blowing it out of proportion? I know it is real but try not to have a biased study, maybe you will get something done.
24. I didn't know a movie was suppose to make us believe.
25. They are afraid of offending corporate America. Corporate America will give their flunkies permisison to get concerned when a considerable number of their factories have been flooded out bythe rising water level due to global warming. However, by that time it will be too late.
26. I think it's because most Republicans are independent thinkers. They will weight the evidence, and draw a conclusion. If there were concrete evidence pointing to a need for taking responsibility, then independent thinkers woudl do so. It's interesting that you would put something like water pollution on your list of contributors to global warming. Anyway, everyone is for cleaner air, thank God that we've taken huge steps in this country. We can be proud of our accomplishments. If you don't think so, visit a place like Mexico City.
27. I'm not a republican, but you'd call me in denial. I am not faith-oriented. Accepting the human caused global warming claims is an act of faith. Faith and force are allies.
28. Maybe it's just because we're COOL!
