The Four Stages of Conservative Denial about Climate Change

This first appeared maybe five years ago in a guest post on my buddy Rob's blog Realitique, but with Copenhagen and Sarah Palin's verbal diarrhea in full swing, I thought it would be worth revisiting.

The Four Stages of Conservative Denial about Climate Change:

1. Climate change isn't happening.
2. Climate change might be happening, but humans didn't cause it.
3. Climate change is happening, and humans caused it, but it's too late to do anything about it.
4. Get your filthy hands off my water.

When this first posted, they were at Stage 1. Now they seem to be moving on to Stage 2. I'll post this again in a few years when they've moved to Stage 3. Not sure the Internet will be around after they hit Stage 4; that'll be Thunderdome time.
