The parent poster said, "I have a hard time imagining how anyone who actually reads these studies could possibly deny the occurrence of global warming."
To answer his/her question, I provided multiple reasons why people, in fact, do reject climate change.
I think your response, and the knee-jerk responses of those who down-voted me, are perfect examples of why I don't watch the news anymore. None of you bothered to read and understand what I said, or why I was saying it. You just assumed that my views on climate change differ from yours, and down-voted me based on your emotional views.
Instead of leaping to irrational conclusions, regarding my post, I invite you to read it and understand why I wrote it and what I was responding to. I believe it will give you a great insight into the matter at hand, and the challenges you must overcome in reaching those who refuse to accept climate change as an issue.
Or, you could just polarize the issue, down-vote those you assume don't agree with you, and keep things at the status quo.
