20. Part of it is an inability to understand that they aren't the center of the universe.

Melting ice caps, disappearing glaciers, desertification, etc. mean nothing to someone who doesn't see it out their front door.

Edited to add: I found it curious that the BBC version of the Planet Earth series has a fifth disc about climate change, conservation, and environmentalism that's missing in the Discovery Channel version. I guess they figured it wouldn't sell in Dumbfuckistan if it didn't ignore reality.
