Are GW proponents more likely to invest in ecologically sustainable technologies than GW deniers?
I would be shocked if that weren’t the case. GW deniers will probably invest their money in whatever is the cheapest, because frankly, their denial has a lot to do with perceived economics (e.g. an irrational fear of carbon taxes). In many cases, energy efficient technologies will be cheaper in the long-run. So if people consider the lifetime costs of a purchase (which many people do not), they may buy the more energy efficient technologies. But I think many AGW proponents will also consider the environmental impacts of their purchases, and thus more frequently invest in the more efficient technologies and such. For example, I pay extra on my utility bill so that PG&E (my electrical utility) will invest money in alternative energy (they call the program “Climate Smart”). But I don’t anything out of it, except that I’m helping contribute to the advancement of alternative energy. I don’t think any AGW denier would do this. As for 3 & 4, again, deniers will invest in whatever agricultural
