Well I wouldn't say "nothing" to do with IQ. If someone believes that we don't have a moral obligation to reduce fossil fuels, that perspective is usually going to come from either genuine or willful ignorance regarding climate change. I mean you could argue that it comes from a genuine moral stance of pure self-interest, but that likely doesn't make up the majority of cases.
