Politics and the widening divide has a lot to do with citizen participation and governance. Because every single solution to climate change involves more government commitment and citizen re-orientation. What do you think?
Dear Morufu Raimi ,
Such people have denial of truth disorder. In the psychological sense, denial is a defense mechanism in which a person, faced with a painful fact, rejects the reality of that fact. They will insist that the fact is not true despite what may be overwhelming and irrefutable evidence.

Those that deny don't want to spend money changing sources of energy, or in the case of the USA, the leader hasn't got enough brain to understand the science.
Denial is a powerful defense mechanism under which someone can hide and does not have to do anything. If you are a politician of the right leaning category more likely than not you are likely to deny climate change since many of your supporters are wealthy CEOs from the industry who do not want government to impose stricter regulations on emissions and effluents. The leader of Brazil is another denier of climate change and as a result the Amazon forests are on fire due to relaxing of regulations that would have prevented/minimized deforestation.
I believe that plain denial has played a major role. They see Climate Change action as something that would impact their bottom line, and will therefore not support it
