[escepticos] Peligroso lo de creer en el mercado libre

[Pedro J. Hdez]

We report a survey of climate-blog visitors to identify the variables
underlying acceptance and rejection of climate science. Our findings
parallel those of previous work and show that endorsement of free-market
economics predicted rejection of climate science. Endorsement of free
markets also predicted the rejection of other established scientific
findings, such as the facts that HIV causes AIDS and that smoking causes
lung cancer. We additionally show that, above and beyond endorsement of
free markets, endorsement of a cluster of conspiracy theories (e.g., that
the Federal Bureau of Investigation killed Martin Luther King, Jr.)
predicted rejection of climate science as well as other scientific
findings. Our results provide empirical support for previous suggestions
that conspiratorial thinking contributes to the rejection of science.
Acceptance of science, by contrast, was strongly associated with the
perception of a consensus among scientists.
