Why do so many doubt the science on climate change?

Despite the voluminous evidence and near unanimity of climate experts, large numbers of North Americans remain sceptical about global warming. Studies suggest that one factor is an entrenchment of views along political lines

I quite enjoyed reading Terry Daynard’s opinion column in the April issue of Better Farming. In particular, I was gratified by his strong endorsement of the credibility of scientists involved in writing the voluminous climate science assessment report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007. This endorsement was both appropriate and timely.
