One of the most alarming trends researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found in a new study is that the general public is becoming increasingly skeptical that global warming exists, even as the scientific community is becoming increasingly certain of its reality.
Among scientists, issues raised by skeptics have been addressed with solid arguments, and experts who at first were not convinced that climate change was occurring bowed to the data they were presented with. However, the general public is not willing to accept sound arguments.
The issue of whether or not to accept global warming as a reality has more to do with the changes each individual has to make in themselves. Finally coming to terms that climate change is real implies dealing with the fact that you are part of the problem, and therefore need to change your habits.
