Ignorance and the political power of the fossil fuel industry.
The second can be handled if we fix the first.
For example, the idea that this is the Sun:
Climatologists know all about changes in the Sun, which are measured by many independent people. Solar radiation has actually been decreasing a bit lately. Proof:

I'd say the first thing is that the coal and oil industries have a few key politicians in their pockets. right now they are keeping compitition out while they try to make all the money they can.
The other thing is that some of the alternative energy technology isn't as advanced yet. We know how to make ethanol out of corn, but doing it with other things that aren't as important, such as switchgrass, we don't quite have that down yet. But the technology is getting there. Now if our leaders would just embrace it, I'm pretty confident that global warming wouldn't pose much of a threat in the future.

we are no longer headed for an ice age for yet another 20,000 years. there are various threats to our environment which will result diverse areas of the international. the somewhat greatest possibility posed via international warming is the BS spewed via deniers like your self attempting to persuade others there is no international warming. Why is that risky: it is not in any respect when you consider which you have any genuine climatological technological information to returned up your argument it somewhat is by using fact your BS impacts vulnerable minded human beings to think of such as you and which will sluggish the ability of conserving and switching to renewable aspects of power and gasoline.

2) People who understand reason #1.

That the Sun is causing the planet to warm,
And that climate change is completely natural as the climate is never static.
Other than that climate change is real!
