Conservative white males and climate change

— 14% of the general public doesn’t worry about climate change at all, but among CWMs the percentage jumps to 39%.

— 32% of adults deny there is a scientific consensus on climate change, but 59% of CWMs deny what the overwhelming majority of the world's scientists have said.

— 3 adults in 10 don't believe recent global temperature increases are primarily caused by human activity. Twice that many – 6 CWMs out of every ten – feel that way

As shown in the base model for each of the five denial indicators, political conservatives and males are more likely to report a climate change denial view than are their politically liberal and female counterparts.

Our results here indicate that non-whites are more likely than are whites to deny that a scientific consensus exists and that whites are more likely than are non-whites to believe that the media exaggerates the seriousness of global warming. Race has no direct effect on the other three denial indicators.

In the conservative white male model for each of the five climate change denial indicators in Tables 4 and 5, the statistically significant positive coefficient for our conservative white male dummy variable means that conservative white males are more likely to espouse climate change denial than are other adults. This effect exists when controlling for the separate, direct effects of political ideology, race, and gender—and for the effects of nine other relevant social, demographic, political, and temporal variables. In other words, the intersection of ‘‘conservative,’’ ‘‘white,’’ and ‘‘male’’ does matter for explaining the distribution of climate change denial in the American public.
