Global warming and climate change??? <Interesting?

Question

I have asked quite a few questions online about global warming and climate change. This is something that I study in depth and I’m especially interested in people’s views on it. There appears to be this illusion that its something that the government cooked up to scam people and that it is not really an issue. Others think that it’s a natural phenomenon, so why worry. So my question is why do a lot of people deny the existence of global warming and climate change? My theory is that when people fear that their life’s might change in a way they don’t want, they deny that it is happening. I have a few other theories, but I’m interested. What’s yours?

Answer 1

Well, I do believe in global warming and climate change.. thanks to my professor, whom is obsessed with it. I agree with you as to why people are denying it. That and they are too lazy to give up the comfortable lives they have. Trying to slow the effects of global warming may take too much effort and money for some people (including the government).

Answer 2

Some people do not believe Man has the ability to destroy the Earth that God created.

I have actually been told that God will prevent it from happening!

Others think....

We only have one Earth.

We only have one chance to do this experiment, so error on the side of caution.

Answer 3

it&#039;s because they will destroy the middle class with very very high &quot;carbon taxes&quot;.

How long will most people remain in the middle class when it costs :

1. 400 dollars to fill up your gas tank AND

2. 3000 dollars per MONTH to heat your house.  AND

3.  2200 dollars per MONTH for electricity  AND

4.  all of your basic groceries and supplies will triple in price because manufacturers&#039; bills will be unfathomably high and they will pass on these costs to you and me.

The whole reason behind global warming scare is to reduce the world&#039;s population dramatically, punish successful nations by making them as poor as the third world, and ultimately, to make everyone more managable because we are helpless to do anything without begging for money from the gov&#039;t, and our population will be decimated because only the rich will be able to heat their house or use electricity.

Answer 4

My theory is there in denial like they dont want that fact to become truth or a fact of everyday life because that would mean they would have to change their current lifestyle.

Answer 5

a paradigm shift has occured, previous to the industrial revolution humans were totally INCABABLE of catalyzing a true global change, wether your talking about weather, air quality, storms, drought, etc etc. Now, and lets just say post 1945, we not only can catalyze change, we are creating it. (not to mention that we literally could deystroy the entire world with our nuclear arsenal, that is a paradigm shift all o its own)  whether it be, a dam of a river, the sprawling nature of our cities, the fake snow we enjoy on our ski resorts, the runoff of our fields, the co2 from out factories, the farts from our cows, etc etc.  Humans now are not only a part of nature , we have become a powerful and substantial force of nature. This is very hard for some people tp accept, mostly religious people, because only god should have (has)  that power, and now we are becoming as powerful as the gods that they worship and thus they can not believe in any of it for fear of going to h**l, or whatever they fear. that said, this idea is hard for a rational human being to grasp becasue of the vast nature of what we are talking about, humans are insignificantly small, the earth is rediculously large in comparison to our frail bodies, however we little teeny tiny beings add up, and our cars and buildings add up, and our cows add up, and our wars take toll, and our urban areas sprawl across the land, WE ARE GODS of EARTH and people can&#039;t accept that if they believe in &quot;god&quot; and ,most of the world does one way or another, so most of the world will continue to not listen to the facts.
