Everything wrong with contemporary libertarian thought in a ten minute video by Reason TV. When science conflicts with your moral values, go ad hominem. Scientists are selfish, corrupt money grubbers after research dollars. They're pushing lies. See climate-gate!
That the number of scientists questioning climate-change is falling each year is... well... ahhh.... proof they're all being corrupted by money?
Climate-change is to libertarians what evolution is to Christian-conservatives and evolutionary-psychology is to feminists: a true scientific theory that is denied for moral reasons.

I think Leftists are more anti-science when it comes to things like economics. So many times I read something that makes me rage (eg. on Matt Yglesias's blog), but can console myself by going to the peer-reviewed economics literature and confirming "Yes, that's egregiously false."
Fully agree.
