A deference which, on the part of the left in general (though I can't say if that's true of you), is highly selective. The left certainly doesn't demonstrate a pragmatic deference to those who understand science when it comes to GMO foods, for example.
Climate science is a highly politicized and ideological issue on both sides of the political spectrum. As with every issue these days, most people believe what everyone else in their social tribe believes.
