The earth is getting warmer. This is a scientific consensus. However, many people refuse to believe that global warming is a serious issue for humanity to confront.

Second, what is your best explanation for the widespread denial of global warming? These questions go beyond the scope of the chapter, so you may need to do a little research of your own.
