On Sunday, Jeff posted the following to his Facebook account:

Why are people so ready to deny climate change? I guess just like people hate going to the Dr., and don’t believe the bad news they sometimes give. People want to avoid bad news any way they can. Those who are obscuring the truth of climate change are affecting us all, and putting us in grave danger.

Responses to the post came quickly and passionately. You can see all of the responses on Jeff’s Facebook here (friend him if you are not already connected).

We’d like to open up the same discussion here on the blog. Why are people so ready to deny climate change? What are your solutions to our cultural (or perhaps biological) inability to recognize and respond to future danger?
