The young conservatives who believe Greta Thunberg

[Guno צְבִי]

Fox News and the NRA were in their regular spots between booths full of "deplorable" hammocks, Donald Trump nutcrackers and a life-size statue of the President, made of nails and posed as Superman.
But in the middle of this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, the booth cocking the most eyebrows was focused on climate change -- not as something to deny or mock -- but as a crisis to fight. With taxes!
Between cardboard cutouts of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, young men in ties and ball caps tried to convince the curious (and the occasional heckler) to ignore everything they've been told about global warming at CPACs past.

Looming across the aisle was The Heartland Institute, the powerful think tank long devoted to denying global warming science, and two booths down stood "Climate Hustle 2" (starring television Hercules Kevin Sorbo) but the Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends worked a crowd two-people-deep with the confidence of CPAC veterans.
"This is really a generational issue," Harvard senior and YCCD founder Kiera O'Brien told me. "We believe that people my age and a little bit older are really waking up to the problem that is climate change on both sides of the aisle."

Based on my estimates, I maintain that the average age of a climate denier is about 71.6 years old.

And are poorly educated

A lot of young people believed Al Gore as well, but there are numerous parts of An Inconvenient Truth that have now been proven wrong.

The current climate projections will likely be proven wrong as well.

Skepticism towards the ability to predict the future of the climate is understandable considering the long history of inaccuracies.
