The real reason why libertarians become climate-deniers | Talking Philosophy


The obsession of libertarians with individual liberty crowds out the value of truth. In the end, their thinking becomes voluntaristic and contrarian for the sake of it. They end up believing simply what they WANT to believe. And, as explained above, they don't WANT to accept the truths of ecology, of climate science, etc. . And so they deny them.
