That's not evidence. You know that, right?
You started this off with this brilliant quote:
People who don't agree with the left are something-phobic. Or dog whistling. Or motivated by whatever the left wants to believe they're motivated by.
Because why use logic and evidence?
So lets be clear. The Republican party is anti-science, and if you believe otherwise, you're a fucking retard. The Republican party so rarely applies logic and evidence to their supposed positions that actually seeing some sign of it is about as likely as seeing a fucking miracle in person.
Now please take some actual science courses when you go off to college, instead of filling everything with "logic 101 to pwn the libs". And go to a real school, not a Christian college that teaches you Christian science.

Don't bother. Darth is playing games too, he's just a bit more subtle about it than JoeThree.
Oh I know. But here's the thing, I can play too. And then I can win, because first, I base my positions on science, evidence, and logic, and second I'm not handicapped by being an idiot.

Yet more insults. Yet no evidence. Is that just what you do?
"People who don't agree with the left are something-phobic. Or dog whistling. Or motivated by whatever the left wants to believe they're motivated by."
So I'd say that's just what you do. But since we've pinned down that you are only here to discuss science, lets discuss the Republican Party's global warming denial. Sound like fun? Does to me!

Here's five direct quotes linking directly to full statements made by the Republican President. He calls Global Warming a hoax, a con, a fraud. He's clearly a climate change denier.
The official Republican party platform makes no mention of climate change, but supports coal power, drilling for oil and gas, and derides spending on green energy - all policies that will continue to accelerate climate change. They make no mention of this science or the facts, or how their policy plans to address the science. And judging from their party leader, it's not hard to see why - they don't believe it exists.
Here's a list of 130 congressmen who have denied global warming: https://www.businessinsider.com/climate-change-and-republicans-congress-global-warming-2019-2
It's a pretty impressive list. Republican.

Lets see Darth, you started out by saying this:
"People who don't agree with the left are something-phobic. Or dog whistling. Or motivated by whatever the left wants to believe they're motivated by."
So I'd say that's just what you do. But since we've pinned down that you are only here to discuss science, lets discuss the Republican Party's global warming denial. Sound like fun? Does to me!
Trump doesn't believe in anthropogenic global warming, and I disagree with him on that.

I've been out of college a long time. But hey, tell us all about whatever courses you're looking forward to taking when you go off to college. It'd be healthier than what you're currently doing.
As for me, I'm just pointing out that to support the Republican party in the US, you have to be a drooling moron entirely incapable of logical thought in any form whatsoever, or a psychopath who enjoys lying and hurting people.
That's what the evidence shows, and as we know, all you care about is the evidence.
You could say the exact same thing about the Democratic party. They're running a sexual predator as a candidate after all.
