Since this exchange has dead-ended on the right (no more reply option) I'm taking it all the way back to the left, where I'm more comfortable anyway. ;-)
maslin: "They are unconvince-able, and I don't know why. These people even get somewhat angry when I raise the topic."
I would guess that's because treating me (advocates of rational climate and energy policies in general, not just me personally) as an enemy of the state based on Glenn Beck's slander (that climate science is an attempt to institute a Soviet-style command economy) is more appealing to the intellectually lazy than rationally, objectively assessing the scientific research.
maslin: "I think to some extent the Global Warming Denier camp is reacting to something completely other than the actual argument. I know some very smart people (I think you're exaggerating, out of reflexive generosity to your personal acquaintances) who appear to believe on an emotional level that it is bunk."
I think they're reacting to what you say based on assumptions of your motives, assumptions which they don't have the courage to say to your face.
