Some are honestly mistaken.
Many are political conservatives who take their politics to extremes. If liberals, environmentalists, or worst, Al Gore say something it must be wrong. No matter that 99+% of all scientists say the same thing.
They should listen to Newt:
"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"

It's not that climate change is real or not, but if man or the Sun is the cause.
Currently the consensus of scientist are saying that the Sun is the cause of all warming on Earth.
A vocal minority believes man is the cause. It's hard for people to hear the message of the real scientist over these political appointees.

Why don't you?
Why is it so hard to believe that almost 7 billion humans all burning something (some more than others) has the ability to alter the climate of this planet?
Why is it so hard to grasp a theory supported by laboratory and empirical data that burning fossil fuels some older than 400 billion years, has the overwhelming probability to turn the present atmosphere into one of a much newer earth, one where humans were not even sweat on a monkeys balls?
Damn you have got to love Bobs' answer, don't you?

Actually if you actually took the time to ready ALL the arguments, you will see there is no evidence topoint either way. There is not enough to prove or dissprove it. So in my opinion just stop trying to persuade everyone. I dont think it is real because of all the discrepancies. What happened to the strong hurricanes whihc they DID predict were coming, they werent kidding when they predicted them as some are saying now.
