When was the last time your lake was froze over?To which a truthful answer is nearly twenty years. But why is it that conservatives want to deny global warming is even happening to us?
Well the answer to that question is rather elusive, but Chris Mooney attempts to answer it here. He boils it all down to our brains, and our need to inject competitiveness in everything we do. So unless we somehow stop being human, the planet will just continue to get warmer.
Humans have accomplished as much if not more through co-operation than through competition. To be human is to co-operate. It is the culture around us that encourages the misguided Darwinian theory of cut throat competition, which is not as natural as capitalists would have us believe.
