article: Better-educated Republicans are more likely to doubt global warming and believe Obama's a Muslim
#3
Buried in the Pew report was a little chart showing the relationship between one’s political party affiliation, one’s acceptance that humans are causing global warming, and one’s level of education. And here’s the mind-blowing surprise: For Republicans, having a college degree didn’t appear to make one any more open to what scientists have to say. On the contrary, better-educated Republicans were more skeptical of modern climate science than their less educated brethren. Only 19 percent of college-educated Republicans agreed that the planet is warming due to human actions, versus 31 percent of non-college-educated Republicans.

The obvious answer is that they're right and man-made climate change is a self-serving myth concocted by the so-called scientific community.
Why is that so hard to accept?
