That includes the impacts of climate change, which are very hard to judge. <br /><br />The consensus of 97% among climate scientists was just about the natural science part of the problem. (It is warming. It is us. The warming will continue.) That is the easy part. If you would ask scientists about risks, I would expect a considerable spread in the answers.Victor Venemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842816166712285801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093436161326155359.post-88402469423101691892014-08-24T21:14:38.927+01:002014-08-24T21:14:38.927+01:00Anonymous, yes I think you are reading the graph r...Anonymous, yes I think you are reading the graph right. This curve does not fully go up to very liberal, I guess there there are too little people to be able to compute an average risk estimate there, but it goes farther as one may intuitively expect.<br /><br />Being liberal (or conservative) is not such a coherent package of ideas. Some of these people be against the state or immigration, but still count as liberal because they do like civil liberties for people already in America.
