I'd say 2 reasons - one is that global warming is something that ecologists
can study. Such as Lucas' study of the impact of global warming on pika and

some theoretical models. Second -- An Inconvenient Truth catapulted the

Speaking of denial, why does Global Warming always

Maybe ecologists just don't know about PO, or haven

The biggest problem is that the lay public -and by that I mean nearly everyone
