The problem is the deniers are all like rabid dogs spreading scare stories and conspiracy theories. They will always grab the headlines with their sensational stories.

Until people are threatened directly with something they actually care about, it's just too easy to go with the flow.
Then when the polar ice caps retreat they're the first to get excited and scramble for the supposed benefits of easier access to oil and gas reserves there, or the chance to grow grapes in Scotland without ever acknowledging their previous normaloid clone-like denial of the the fact of climate change.
