So I came across this article comparing the views of the Tea Party, normal Republicans, Independents, and Democrats on science and the environment.
http://io9.com/the-tea-party-and-the-mainstream-gop-have-different-vie-1666137016
While it mostly shows what I was expecting, it does highlight that the Tea Party significantly differs in their opinions of scientists and the environment vs normal republicans.
Interestingly, while disagreeing with scientists and environmental findings the most they also consider themselves to have more understanding of the subject than the other parties.
It also shows that Tea Partiers disagree more with environmental science the more "educated" they are:
I will admit that I had a good chuckle thinking about certain members of this board in relation to this study.
