Is global warming denialism primarily based on free market fundamentalism?

Fear and resentment over being told what we are doing is wrong has driven many to the antipole.

If you tell me that resources are finite and mankind is responsible for environmental degradation I will tell you that resources are unlimited and humans are not responsible.

If you tell me that social democracy and regulated markets to support a sustainable economy are the only way to stop the destruction of the natural world, I will tell you that unlimited personal freedom and unrestrained markets are the only solution.

I would characterize it as reactionary cornucopian theistic libertarian free market fundamentalism.

After all, fundamentalism is based on faith, not evidence.
