Is the GOP anti-science?
Or is the GOP using the same arguments they use for religion? Pick and choose what they believe. They mostly don't follow the teaching of jesus and they deny climate change.
Try not to be too outrageous in your denials.

The GOP? No.
Are certain conservatives? Yes. There are many conservatives who deny the theory of evolution and believe in Young Earth Creationism. There are conservatives who deny anthropogenic climate change.
But I would argue that they are no more "anti-science" than people of the Left and among the Democrats base. The media just does not like talking about the anti-science folks on the left or their hysterical ideas.
For example, the anti-GMO movement is an almost entirely left-wing phenomenon. These folks have not one iota of evidence that genetically-modified foods cause any harm whatsoever, but insist on the purity of artisanal foods.
Now, going to your argument about the danger of global warming. It is an undisputed fact that the highest output, lowest carbon-emitting source of energy is nuclear power. And as much as people clutch their pearls in terror about the dangers of nuclear waste, it is far less dangerous than people are led to believe and can be safely contained. If the left was truly serious about tackling climate change, and see it as a true existential threat, I think it would be incumbent on them to promote the creation of several nuclear power plants across the United States (and around the world) to combat global carbon emissions. But they do not, because for so many people on the left (at least those with influence) proposing nuclear power brings about a near-religious response where they want to tie the proposer to a stake and burn them.
So are GOP voters anti-science? Sure. To an equal degree as many Democrat voters.

Your examples are extremely poor, with one -- so-called GMOs --being a demonstration of the very ignorance you decry.
Always beware of people who fall back on the 'studies show' argument.
On the other hand, the 'anti-vaxxers' have a left wing contingent too.
In a word: yes. The GOP is anti-science.
And some anti-vaxxers are against vaccines because of religion...…….which is right wing.
Is the GOP anti-science?
Yes because they actually use evidence to make a point instead of making stuff up.

It's actually the very opposite. It is the left who are anti-science. Science proves that the planet has had periods of temperature increases and decreases, even before man was on the planet and yet the left would have us believe that it is all of a sudden just happening now. And, science proves that no matter what we do, temperatures will still rise and yet the left would have us believe that if we did everything they say, temperatures would quit rising. Why does the left deny science?

Rarely do I see someone brazenly declare abject ignorance.
If I am woefully ignorant, I welcome enlightenment, ecofarm.
