As usual, liberals are all talk on 'climate change'

Shock Study: Climate Skeptics More ‘Eco-Friendly’ than Climate Alarmists

Americans who are skeptical about climate change engage in personal behavior that is more friendly to the environment than climate alarmists, who support increased government regulation, a new study has found.



While very supportive of government action on climate, the group of “highly concerned” were the least likely to behave in environmentally friendly ways on a personal level, the study revealed.

The self-described “skeptics,” on the other hand, while the most opposed to government climate policies, were also the “most likely to report engaging in individual-level pro-environmental behaviors,” the study found.

This is interesting. A perceived moral licensing due to being on the right side of an issue at the governmental level. Hmmm.

"...there is a tendency among those who believe they are on the 'right side' of an issue at the macro (governmental, social) level to be negligent in the same area at the micro or personal level, an instance of a phenomenon known in psychology as 'moral licensing' or 'self-licensing.'

By supporting government action in a given area, people may feel morally legitimatized to cut corners at the personal level, and the area of environmental stewardship is no exception."

Sounds to me like a fancy definition of “HYPOCRITE” ?!?!

What do liberals say when it is pointed out that "climate change " has been going on since the earth was formed? They say nothing!

Well, not for a while anyway. Not until the progressives get back in power and want to pass the Cap and Trade Act AKA "The Tax on Thin Air" and you will see (after the Trump Tax Reduction is overturned) another 10% added to your federal tax payment.

Others will pay much more. Your "carbon footprint" must be calculated through gasoline consumption, utilities used, airplane tickets purchased, etc, etc...

Another marxist scam to be dumped on the citizens.
