They are in denial. They can't accept that human civilization is in its final decades. It's part of their brains. In fact, neuroscience has shown evidence that the rightwing brain is more susceptible to fear than leftwinger brains are. This would inevitably create denial as a defense mechanism.
Again, I stress that human civilization - not the human race altogether - is in serious jeopardy. The human race may have more time, but civilized society and basic government institutions are in danger of collapsing within the next 100 years. That isn't an exaggeration - there are just a variety of factors stacked against us.
The effects of rising global temperatures have disastrous effects. It affects the human food supply, disease, water supply and natural disasters. All of these factors also raise the probability of future large-scale human conflicts.
Human and animal life on this planet is ultimately doomed, but focusing legislation on mitigating the effects of climate change will help to prolong the human race's survival.
No, we reject it because it is anti scientific and is purely in the realm of religion now. Which is why you appeal to authority (high priests), talk about morality (the realm of religion, not science), wish to incarcerate and kill sceptics (PERSECUTE THE HERETICS!) and rely, not on science, but on climate models (fictional renditions of someones imaginations) to support your now well known goal of impoverishing the middle class.
You, are an idiot.
