Random thought of the day (Climate Change)

I was just checking the news and got my daily fix of the debate around climate change and its deniers. There's one thing I don't get. Why is it that deniers, who overwhelmingly tend to be rightists, have to view climate change as a left-wing hoax? If you want to take it from this ol' pinko, climate change came up as a real bummer for us. We wanted to soak the rich so that we could use all that money into our socialist pet projects (free schools, free universities, free hospitals, free indoctrination camps, you name it) and now turns out that we have to spend money in cutting carbon emissions, planting trees and other boring stuff like that. It's not fun. Really, how I wish I could be a climate-change denier. 

Wait, could it be that what they are saying is that those of us on the left are so deranged as to let science stand on the way of our ideology? I stand accused.
