Why are people so in denial about global warming? It%26#039;s really SCARY. Just SCARY.

And some of the answers on this website are scary. Half of them are %26quot;we%26#039;ll be dead in 100 years who cares%26quot; or %26quot;Jesus this or that%26quot;.

The Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, documents how the media supports this false appearance of controversy:

Denial has also been an important political facade to maintain:
%26quot;A recently leaked memo written by Frank Luntz, the US Republican and corporate strategist, warned that %26#039;The environment is probably the single issue on which Republicans in general - and President Bush in particular - are most vulnerable... Should the public come to believe that the scientific issues are settled, their views about global warming will change accordingly. Therefore, you need... to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue.%26#039;%26quot;

Given the flood of misinformation, it%26#039;s very difficult for many average people to discern what%26#039;s really going on.

um...maybe because %26quot;global warming%26quot; is a scam!!!!!! seriously, you people scare me! why are you all freaking out about the earth%26#039;s natural cycle of climate change??? seriously, show me some evidence that SERIOUSLY, actually proves it%26#039;s not just the natural cycle. of course it%26#039;s slightly worse, but that%26#039;s because there are more people in the world. but as for saying it%26#039;s such a big deal and forcing your %26quot;green%26quot; on us, that%26#039;s just annoying

Or a lot of them are like this one.

It%26#039;s a cycle. The earth warms and it cools all on its own. People who follow the alarmists are really so very gullible. The earth is cooling down now, this summer is starting to remind me of 1997, when summer didn%26#039;t get above 70, and so far, it hasn%26#039;t here this year.

Stop trying to panic every one. Calm down. Take a deep breath of the air that is actually a lot cleaner than the panicking sheep want you to believe it is.

I%26#039;m not so much in denial as I am skeptical of the whole thing.

Nothing has been proven..... other than how stupid we can be. Ethanol is one such example of a so-called environmental %26#039;fix%26#039; that turned out to be more polluting than regular gasoline. That boondoggle has cost us $Billions!!

I%26#039;m still waiting for the %26#039;tree-lickers%26#039; to apologize for that one!!

They feel scared because they didn%26#039;t think it would come so fast in their generation. It%26#039;s not that they%26#039;re in denial, they just haven%26#039;t learned to accept it yet. They will though, hopefully. It%26#039;s really scary, and we need to solve the energy crisis.

Because due to years of lies being forced down everyone%26#039;s throat regarding, well, everything, people are tired of over-reacting to everything that anyone shoves in our face while screaming at us that %26quot;The End is Near!%26quot;

That said, I think we could all do more to take better care of our one and only home, Earth.

i%26#039;m not in denial. i%26#039;m just apparently more informed than you. the earth%26#039;s temperatures are cyclical and can%26#039;t be stopped. don%26#039;t buy into al gore%26#039;s largest money making machine in U.S. history. just read a little more.

Actually its called freedom, we don%26#039;t have all agree and if freedom scares you that%26#039;s to bad. Because I for one will not give it up and I expect many others won%26#039;t either.

Global warming is in Revelation. Look for it. The angel pours out his vial into the sun

Because there is just as strong an argument that there is Global Cooling.

j

beacuse its fake!!!! This has been one of the coldest winters ever... we haven%26#039;t been recording forever so we really don%26#039;t know its not just a natural thingg.....

You need Prozac to control the panic/fear attacks provocated by the GW hoax.

My 2 cents.
