What happened to global warming? 
Hmm... right here:
Another three of four decades, and many of our heritage cities such as Venice and Baton Rouge will be gone for ever.

Because propaganda. Simple as that, propaganda. They are idiots who listen to the propaganda from the right/corporate outlets and their "studies." They think there's some liberal control or conspiracy in government when liberals aren't anywhere in power.
What happened to global warming?
Yeah, why do people do that? I mean, come on, it's a fact for christ sake!
What do they win from denying it? And even if they don't think it's true, what would be the problem with a green sustainable world?
Selfish economic interests are the reasons why climate change is ignored. The same reason that the overcrowding of the country is ignored. Money does not equal happiness. What do they win from denying it? And even if they don't think it's true, what would be the problem with a green sustainable world?
I think there are some very wealthy people / interests who back denial, and are based in the U.S. The U.S. seems to have free speech for corporations, and some shielding of identity of people / corporations who may be financing a particular speech.
"Unless we conserve the planet, there isn't going to be any 'the economy'" ~ Margaret Atwood. People seem only concerned about the here-and-now and the government panders to that.
So much for Cameron promising this was going to be "the greenest government ever".
David Cameron, who once promised that if you voted blue you would go greenSo much for Cameron promising this was going to be "the greenest government ever".
This is probably a misquote.
What actually meant to say was something like "if you vote blue you would be green, very green indeed"!

Everything changes, the climate included. The climate change deniers have financial interest.
As does the other side.
A lot of the research has been simply badly executed, on both sides too.
Lack of good information and the realization that a lot of the things climate change activists have said might be bullshit could contribute to skepticism. Not that many people have really analyzed those things or know how the data has been gathered.
Also most people don't deny climate change, that is easily measured - it has changed. But is has changed before. It's the reasons that cause it that are subject to speculation.
I have never in my entire life met a scientifically literate person who does not understand that the climate has changed. IMO, climate denial is now in the total crackpot category along with flat Earth believers, bigfoot experts and other child-like beliefs. You must be willfully ignorant at this point.
The scariest thing about this change is that there is absolutely no reason to believe it will stop before killing off most/all life on Earth.

Can't expect developing nations to pay for carbon tax when the the west had done the same in the past without paying a penny.
Because they don't feel that they are prepared to face these problems. Billions of lives would have to be changed. In order to cease carbon-related emissions in order to meet targets in a continuously growing world, the entire energy industry for developed nations has to be re-wired. Power stations don't just build, install, and operate themselves. This changes employment, and this costs money for the new facilities.
People not deny the climate change, he know of climate change, but deny for an illusion. 
When will be too much late, people will cry.
If oil industry did back, maybe a better world is possible.

For a lot of people it's in their best interest economically speaking to deny climate change. And then there are people who are paid by those same people to agree with them and try to persuade the public as well.
Don't blindly assume that all scientists agree here but climate change is real, it certainly appears as though this number has been fudged with by only taking the extreme weather.
This.
Huge money has been spend to convince the world the climate is changing. You need to wonder what the motive is.
That's the "right" side of the false discussion, as said. Comes from right-wing think tanks, Cato Institute etc...
Divide and conquer. Machiavelli.
That humans have impact on climate is obvious. That the cost is to be externalized to the public is not.
Yep, it's all about money. What a greedy, greedy world we live in.
