I will not mention pigs again!
I think it is very easy to make people believe what they want to believe. If you are an African living in South Africa and you cannot afford the expensive drugs ncessary to treat AIDS it is easier to deny it exists than deal with such an awful possibility. We are the same about poverty world wide, and about Climate Change. It was always like this,- Gallileo got into terrible trouble for daring to suggest that the Earth went around the Sun and just recently the tobacco companies were denying to the last gasp that their products were causing anything other than a soothing pleasure!
Denying something is happening does not make it go away, in fact the problem will just get bigger. It seems to me to be obvious that something odd is happpening to the climate world wide. Why this is so seems to have less urgency than what, if anything, we can do about it.
