Daily Kos: Mass psychology explanations of global warming denial

I suppose one might feel moved at some point to grab the whole of the human race by the shoulders and shake it back and forth, yelling WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?  Is there really something wrong with the human race, such that it appears doomed to pollute its atmosphere with enormous quantities of carbon dioxide, destroying its ecosystems and bringing its "civilization" into a new Dark Ages.  Such would be the King of Irrational Outcomes -- billions of participants in the most extensive and intensive of civilizations, all for nothing.  Sure, we can blame the problem on the deniers and their successful framing of the problem of global warming, arguing to ourselves that if we only framed the debate correctly, the deniers would be discredited and we'd be on our way to a solution tomorrow.  But we know there's something more to it than that; something's wrong with us.

Warning Signs: The Greens Think You're Stupid

...This kind of Chicken Little blather is the very lifeblood of environmentalism.

If individuals and nations cannot be driven to pay dearly for “carbon credits” in order to emit carbon dioxide, than some new scheme must be devised and driven by the same scare tactics and campaigns that worked for global warming until it became apparent that it was a complete fraud and those who advanced it little more than criminals with PhDs.
