I am so tired of people using the term "Right" or "right-wing" as a way to denigrate and categorize large groups of people. Nothing in this world is so simple and black and white. If it were then I could reasonably conclude, based on the assumption that you are "left wing", that your mentality is the same as Fidel Castro and Nicolas Maduro since they are both left wing.
To demonstrate the point further there is stuff like this:
The Liberals' War on Science

A 2012 Gallup poll found that “58 percent of Republicans believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years,” compared with 41 percent of Democrats.

So quit it with the "right-wing" creationism crap.

The computer models are flawed also in large part because they make the assumption that man-made emissions of CO2 are a major driver of climate change.
Not only are the models flawed from the outset but they have also proven to be wrong even over the short term. If they are wrong now why should we believe that they will be right 50 or 100 years from now?
