I think for the most part, a lot of global warming septics don't want to believe it because they don't want to come to terms with the fact that they have to change their lifestyle. Why do I think this?
1. First, they say "The Earth isn't warming up, scientists say it's cooling."
Then we present them with credible data on how it's actually warming.
2. Then, they say "Well, this warming is natural, there have been warmer times."
We present them with credible data on how it isn't natural.
3. Lastly, they say "Well, people can survive in warmer temperatures.
Whenever they show us proof of their claims, we get a link to someones blog or a very poorly done web page that used "Comic Sans MS".
However, we have actual evidence from actual organizations (such as NASA) but these links go ignored.
Why do I think this is? Because they just don't want to deal with a problem.
Because if a problem doesn't exist, you don't have to do anything about it. But in this case the "try not to think about it and try to disprove actual evidence" method does not force it out of existence.
Yeah, sorry about that Alex. I was kind of aiming for an opinion on this theory, but I didn't make it very clear.
