Some of this climate change denial comes from an inner fear of what is happening, people know it's real but they don't want to accept it, as the reality of what the future could hold is too frightening for them.
Are you a sceptic?
Absolutely. I am currently asking an alarmist (on another forum) who lives at St Kilda and is telling us we must move to higher ground, how much actual sea level rise he has observed in his suburb. I finally got him to admit "None YET".
If you are interested I would like some simple answers to some simple questions. May I ask them?
we've been measuring levels for a shade over 70 years....? close?
how long is that is the grand cycle of things?

HE. Are you aware that Al Gore recently admitted that CO2 can only have 40% of the effect he claimed?
That he justified his exaggeration as necessary to get the sheep moving, or words to that effect?
How can carbon trading help?
Do you consider CO2 a pollutant?
Do you accept that the "hockey stick" was wrong and that the Medieval Warming Period did indeed exist and that it was a relatively benign period?
Which do you consider the most imminent: AGW or Peak Oil?
Do you believe it is possible to be a sceptical scientist and not be on "big oil's" payroll?
Why is it legitimate for the alarmists to get funding but not the sceptics?
These are some of the questions we ask on a very lively forum but never get answers to. Be as brief as you wish, I don't mind.

So they grasp onto fragments of dodgy information which can help them in their denial, while ignoring the vast amount of information from respectable bodies that has long proven it as fact.
Like a troubled debtor ignoring the mail, or a sick person ignoring worsening symptoms, hoping it will go away by itself.
Other reasons for climate change scepticism include hidden agendas (political, commercial) and ignorance.
