For the same reason that the University of East Anglia hackers deleted what was going to be the definitive proof of global warming, that would end all questioning, and finally move it from "theory" to "principle handed down from God."
Each year is a bit different. I'm surprised you would get foggy mornings in January--I live in Southern California and I don't recall January ever being very foggy. Typically in January we either have Santa Anas (weak or strong) with warm weather and sunshine, or else storms. So far we have...

I think with the vast majority of them a dialogue is hopeless. They have no interest in the science, and if you disagree they call you a liberal, or a leftist--even if the only thing you talk about is the science.
Some people do not believe it is happening, some people believe man is not responsible, and others just don't care.
