   In search of a good explanation.Why are American conservatives so deaf, dumb and blind when it comes to climate change. No, that's not it. Better still, why is climate change denial a requirement in the US for one to be a politically correct conservative?
   Other conservatives in such countries as France and the UK do not seem to have this problem.
   Explanations anyone?

   Power and MoneyThose other counties are like States.
   The conservatives in the US have been corrupted by the delusion of absolute power.

   "Europeans hate us!"I had no idea that the Europeans supported the Kyoto Treaty because they wanted to hobble the US economy.  Not only that, we are told, that was their barely hidden agenda.
   Or so says the National Review.
   That journal's founder, by the way, William F. Buckley, Jr., by providing an intellectual stronghold for conservatives, has represented one of Roman Catholicism's most pernicious offenses against American society and politics.

   Conservatives and ReactionariesI think one of the problems might be that what we call the right in the United States is not a conservative right. It is a reactionary right. Two very different animals.
   I also think that within the mindset of this reactionary right, environmentalists are the new communists. Or as the Central American fascists used to say of the Christian Democrats whose party colors were green, they were green on the outside and red on the inside. They called them "watermelon men."
   That is the mentality we are dealing with.

   Reactionaries and Trotskists?Quite interesting, the extreme conservative fraction in the US' political spectrum seems so willing to collaborate so easily with former Trotskists. They surely do share some opinions on externally forced revolutions though.
