Interesting comparison: left-wing distrust of GMOs as a technology (rather than as an excuse for predatory business practices) and right-wing denial of climate change are both cases in which people reject the scientific consensus in favor of a political one…but while the right wing embraces this rejection to the point that it’s practically required for a Republican politician to deny climate change in order to get elected, the left wing establishment is less willing to throw science under the bus. “Bad Astronomer” Phil Plait has often made similar comparisons between climate change denial as a mainstream part of the Republican platform and the antivaccination movement as a fringe part of the left wing.
