Behavior science has found that babies tend to be internally rewarded by either: 1. familiar surroundings and situations, or 2. novel experiences. This seems to be the basis for one's political orientation which appears to be inborn. Conservatives were once babies that liked familiar surroundings and as adults like to keep things unchanging and the same. Liberals were babies that liked novel experiences and as adults want to try something new to "see if we can make it better". It is my suspicion that "Global Warming Deniers" are mostly like conservative Republicans who as babies liked to have a constant and unchanging world.
