Why do deniers reject climate science?
Based on this article by Anthony Watts at WUWT - it looks as if one answer is because they don't want to see 'scary' graphics.
(It's that darn conservative brain at work again!)
To save you having to go over and see what I'm talking about, here is what Anthony Watts wrote about a climate discussion on CNN:

Okay - it was me that bolded the 'scary' bit :D My guess is the image was probably from the hottest year ever recorded in the USA last year - but I don't know.
Whatever - it sure is scary!
Can you cope with more scary?
