Soy Boy Climate Projection
Timothy Birdnow
This is the most ridiculous study I've ever read. Purest pseudo-science.
Maybe it's the other way around; women are OVERLY concerned because they falsely believe it's the compassionate, kind thing to believe. Maybe men are just looking at the facts and concluding it's a con game.
Abstract
Despite scientific consensus that climate change is occurring, many individuals deny that the climate is changing. Although past work has examined gender differences in climate change attitudes, less is known about how within-gender individual differences may affect climate change concern. In this paper, I study how masculinity concerns relate to climate change attitudes in men. I assert that expressing concern about climate change is associated with traditionally feminine characteristics of warmth, caring and compassion and predict that, because of this relationship, men who are more concerned about maintaining their sense of masculinity will express less concern about climate change. Across four studies, I find support for my predictions.

Oh, and there is nothing constructive we can do about it even if it is as bad as the Gang Green claims. So why worry about something you cannot fix? Women are often obsessive that way but men usually look to actions that have some sort of positive benefit.

My, MY! Apparently subjects for doctoral theses are running way short in academia these days. Quelle dommage! Are there any more reasons to major in electric welding?

Agreed! But then academic types would prefer to write a paper about electric welding than actually do it.

I seriously doubt that the vast majority of academics know their a$$es from their elbows when it comes to practical things such as electric welding. I will say that from some of the academic papers I have read -- or should I say skimmed -- many academics are equally unlearned about a lot of other subjects also, but have become adept at a technique of writing that just might be styled "throw a lot of words against a wall and hope enough of them stick." And the results of those papers produces, at least in me, the well-known response called "you've gotta be kidding!"
