Some of those who deny anthropomorphic global climate change are undoubtedly ideologically blind and/or ignorant. But I suspect that many are acting in what seems their economic self-interest. That is, they believe that they can accumulate more wealth, and mitigate potential impacts for themselves and their descendants. And maybe they're right. But I do hope that they'll feel at least a little guilty.
