People not deny the climate change, he know of climate change, but deny for an illusion. When will be too much late, people will cry. If oil industry did back, maybe a better world is possible.

Because they don't feel that they are prepared to face these problems. Billions of lives would have to be changed. In order to cease carbon-related emissions in order to meet targets in a continuously growing world, the entire energy industry for developed nations has to be re-wired. Power stations don't just build, install, and operate themselves. This changes employment, and this costs money for the new facilities.

Can't expect developing nations to pay for carbon tax when the the west had done the same in the past without paying a penny.

I have never in my entire life met a scientifically literate person who does not understand that the climate has changed. IMO, climate denial is now in the total crackpot category along with flat Earth believers, bigfoot experts and other child-like beliefs. You must be willfully ignorant at this point.
The scariest thing about this change is that there is absolutely no reason to believe it will stop before killing off most/all life on Earth.

Everything changes, the climate included. The climate change deniers have financial interest.
As does the other side. A lot of the research has been simply badly executed, on both sides too. Lack of good information and the realization that a lot of the things climate change activists have said might be bullshit could contribute to skepticism. Not that many people have really analyzed those things or know how the data has been gathered. Also most people don't deny climate change, that is easily measured - it has changed. But is has changed before. It's the reasons that cause it that are subject to speculation.

"Unless we conserve the planet, there isn't going to be any 'the economy'" ~ Margaret Atwood. People seem only concerned about the here-and-now and the government panders to that. So much for Cameron promising this was going to be "the greenest government ever".

Yeah, why do people do that? I mean, come on, it's a fact for christ sake! What do they win from denying it? And even if they don't think it's true, what would be the problem with a green sustainable world? Selfish economic interests are the reasons why climate change is ignored. The same reason that the overcrowding of the country is ignored. Money does not equal happiness.

David Cameron, who once promised that if you voted blue you would go green This is probably a misquote. What actually meant to say was something like "if you vote blue you would be green, very green indeed"!

I think there are some very wealthy people / interests who back denial, and are based in the U.S. The U.S. seems to have free speech for corporations, and some shielding of identity of people / corporations who may be financing a particular speech.

The same reason that the overcrowding of the country is ignored. Money does not equal happiness. Sadly, that's true. Millions of people work far too hard and have lost the meaning of life. As life becomes more miserable, we think that working even harder to make us a bit more richer will make us happy again. The treadmill forever continues.

Because propaganda. Simple as that, propaganda. They are idiots who listen to the propaganda from the right/corporate outlets and their "studies." They think there's some liberal control or conspiracy in government when liberals aren't anywhere in power.

Syscoin has the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum in one place, it's merge mined with Bitcoin so it is plugged into Bitcoin's ecosystem and takes full advantage of it's POW while rewarding Bitcoin miners with Syscoin

oil industry has injected millions of dollars into convincing people of it. money still buys influence. most of the cilmate change deniers are republicans, and it's not by coincidence.

Wasn't it one such creature that said something along the lines of: god told Noa that there wouldn't be another flood, so climate change can't be a problem. Brilliant. But the truth is I'm not sure it's helpful to put this in the context of republicans versus democrats; perhaps the republicans are the ones taking most of the money from the oil companies, but the democrats are as corrupt as they are, and would probably join in if they could.

They believe the scientific community is divided, that it doesn't exist, or that G-d wouldn't let that happen.

climate change caused by man is a 90%+ consensus among scientists.. but don't bother presenting facts to the GOP base. they don't want any of that. jesus is great. p.s., don't worry if you are female and get raped.. your body has defense mechanisms against it apparently. and vaccinations cause autism.
