Why do GW deniers deny?

[DetlefK]

3. They regard all intellectual stuff just as a means to denigrate normal people like them.

All the scientists say their smart-ass stuff just to assert their authority. It's not really true. Scientists say those things, because they have a sinister agenda.

For example:
* Scientists say X to get those fat funds for their projects. (All those fat-cat scientists out there with their mansions and private jets...)
* Smart people are automatically elitists. (Obama studied constitutional law and is a stiff person? He's distant and aloof!)
* Scientists contradict my claims, that means they are in cahoots with my enemies. (Chem-trails are bunk? That's what the lizard-people want us to think!)



The concept that a willing driving force, a "creator", has to be behind everything is deeply ingrained into them. The thought that some things just innocently "are", without a guiding spirit or a spin-meister behind the curtains, is alien to them. I think, that's why they also have a problem understanding atheism.
