Such a resistance to facts isn't too surprising. People with strongly held beliefs don't want to give them up, even if those beliefs are obviously wrong. That's why I'd like to suggest to the vocal minority who still refuse to accept the truth about climate change to do one thing: think Jupiter. Jupiter is a stunningly big place..
