This begins to explain why so many conservatives do not believe in global warming and science in general.
When you have an unshakable belief in your own little world — that cow farts are responsible for greenhouse gases and, by the way, the EPA should not be allowed to regulate them — you are not going to embrace the science that has proven human involvement beyond a doubt.
Pretty simple. And simple minded, eh?
Yes, you are very simple minded – Mr. moderate.
“When you have an unshakable belief in your own little world..”
Oddly enough, an unshakable belief in a little AGW world is exactly what he is doing. Duh.

Intelligence is invisible to the foolish.

— George Bernard Shaw
“Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form.”
~Eainstein
Einstein
Yes, you are very simple minded – Mr. moderate.
“He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice.”
~Einstein
“Nothing is as approved as mediocrity, the majority has established it and it fixes it fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way”
~Blaise Pascal
My favorite “moderate” quote……….
“Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”—- Barry Goldwater
But, these are good, too!
Moderation has been called a virtue to limit the ambition of great men, and to console undistinguished people for their want of fortune and their lack of merit. —– Benjamin Disraeli
Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice. —— Thomas Paine
