This article shows how and why Trump and other right wing zealots deny climate change. Science doesn’t matter, common sense doesn’t matter, the lives and health of the world’s population don’t matter, the state of the environment doesn’t matter. All that matters is that the science of climate change interferes with capitalists’ bottom line, so they deny it exists. End of problem. It is the attitude and what passes for thinking among the US right wing. This is the one reason capitalists defy climate science, and it is among the most dangerous positions the right wing embraces (just in case you were wondering how they can be so deliberately stupid about it).

They're total hypocrites about supporting capitalism. They don't want a capitalist system either, which is supposed to be a fair game for competition. No they want an unfair advantage instead. True capitalists, like China I supposed, would be foaming at the mouth over the opportunity to make money off of fixing climate change.
