imagine a worldview where the most important thing is people respecting you as a man. Rugged jobs like coal mining or oil rig work. Driving heavy duty, loud, smoke spewing trucks or muscle cars. Eating the largest, most expensive meat, to fuel your very important muscles. Proving your worth through hard work instead of smarts. Throw in the gay rights movement, and now trans rights, now they feel like masculinity itself is being threatened. They want to keep eating steaks, they like driving their big truck, they dont want to respect non-masculine peers who dont work as hard as they do. I give you the driving force of rural America, and the wealthy people tapping into it.

I don't disagree per se...but I think the climate change denial has more to do with being anti-democrat/liberal than being a man. Conservative women are also climate change deniers.

Like if you were to ask them if the earth is worth protecting, recycling, blah blah blah, they'd say yes. But as soon as you mention global warming, they say it's woke.
