Are climate deniers more likely to be anti-nuclear?

[MrJedi-gied]

The opposite seems to be more likely true in my experience, in that people that are hyper focused on climate crisis are also often ardently and inexplicably anti nuclear and I've never met anyone that dismissed the notion that the climate is in crisis that was also anti nuclear. Why people tend to line up there is up in the air. Could be the crisis focused folk are also concerned about the risks of nuclear power (about as dangerous as the climate crisis) while the other side push for nuclear because it is unpopular, just as they push against the consensus on climate.

Pro nuclear and think climate alarmism is bunk. Both positions are data and reason derived. Decades of nuclear power experience show it to be one of the safest and most environmentally friendly power sources. Climate alarmists have been crying wolf for at least 100 years and the doom is still in the future based on models which rational people understand are not science. We simply don't have sufficient quality temperature data for enough of the earth for enough time to make any reasonable conclusions.

Most of the people in my circle are pragmatic, and don't have strong feelings (or any knowledge) about nuclear power, and accept global warming.

Idk not me or people I know. It's more that the climate change crisis is not a thing, but it would be woefully terrible not to go nuclear. There are far more benefits to nuclear than just to appease the climate change people.

The best two arguments pro nuclear are national security related and economics related. And that we could make these things in a bunker and put 60 years fuel in them and wouldn’t have to think about power really for a few generations. Just sort of solve the problem simply and move on.

I'm not a big fan of nuclear energy, However I'm believe strongly in climate change so I I'm one person who does not prove your theory.
