They see Congressman refuting climate change with snowballs, or refuting sea level rising with ice cubes in a glass, or some global "wobbling" (don't know if I got that right) thesis that allegedly wasn't considered and then some.
And since the truth indeed is inconvenient in that case, one rather believes his ways are not a problem, but greedy scientists are. 

And honestly - those who deny climate change are in some respect the more sincere ones. Most people and countries do fully accept the thesis - and still do nothing about it. Signing agreements that everyone breaks, some cosmetic policies and that's it. Deniers are less duplicitous.

As an aside I never got that disconnect that somehow all these scientists are just making stuff up to get rich...but the poor, helpless fossil fuel manufacturers are just trying to keep making, uh, record profits?

Yeah. The money is in denial....
