Solution

The plausible explanations for the difference in thinking about climate data between scientists and the public could be:

  1. There is a lot of money invested in disputing scientific evidence.
  2. Scientists are more familiar with reading trends in the data.
  3. Scientists and the public have fundamentally different political viewpoints.
  4. It can be easier to ignore or dispute change rather than acknowledge it.

The statement "The public has less to lose from climate change than scientists do" is not a plausible explanation because climate change affects everyone, not just scientists.
