There has been mention of how scientist suffer have follies that the rest of us suffer. Similiarly, they also have emotional attachment to the debate.
I found letters from researchers on the website:

Following is one of the many letters available on this site:-
"The main things I feel about this are deep disappointment and anger, though I should probably try not to.
People have always faced challenges and adversity. When these are accepted and faced together, it can bring out our best – I believe this is what allows peoples of the world who endure great hardships to remain happy nonetheless.
The opposite is happening with this issue. We face a problem that could be addressed with relatively minor shared sacrifices, but instead there is a mass effort to ignore, defer, deny, and lie. Knowing that it will fall mostly on our own children, and their kids. On the part of people – of a generation – who are farther from hardship than almost any in history.
Global warming doesn’t bother me as much as what it is revealing about humans. Maybe I need to just grow up and get over it!
But that won’t help my kids any."
