Tom Nelson - The Five Stages - Denial to Determination

OK - listen up, all you deniers and sceptics out there. I happen to know the true reason that you can't accept that climate change is real and caused by us humans. It's not because the IPCC is a horribly corrupted political body spewing out dodgy evidence to support pre-conceived conclusions, or that temperatures have fallen since 2001 despite a significant rise in CO2, or that there's no tell-tale signature hot spot above the tropics, or because you might be a little suspicious when anyone tells you the "science is settled" and therefore we don't need to discuss is anymore so off you go and play in the sand pit. No, it's none of these things: it's because your poor little brains cannot deal with the psychological consequences of acceptance.

So, in order to help you all out, some kindly fellow at celsias.com (no, I hadn't heard of it either), and thanks to Tom Nelson for the link, has prepared a step-by-step guide to coming out of the sceptical closet and embracing AGW. Highlights include:

• Al Gore - the real, caring man behind that pasty slab of a face
• "Dr Pachauri, or How I learned to stop worrying and love the IPCC" (with apologies to Stanley Kubrick)
  
• Everything you always wanted to know about hockey sticks
• Mantra: Every day and in every way, the Medieval Warm Period is getting smaller and smaller
  
• Kangaroo ain't all that bad (optional session for Aussie readers)
