Are there ideological differences in science denial?

Debates about issues such anthropomorphic climate change have raised alarm that there may be systematic differences in liberals' and conservatives' trust in science. Indeed, conservatives in the U.S. are much more skeptical of science than their liberal counterparts. However, there is little to no association between political orientation and trust in science in most non-U.S. countries and the cognitive processes underlying science denial are symmetric across ideological lines. Where ideological gaps emerge, politics is highly polarized, and one side has strategically sown doubt about scientific findings. Whether liberals trust science more than conservatives or vice versa depends on which side's party, leaders, and media promote skepticism about ideologically "inconvenient" scientific findings.
