There's lots of other reasons for the denialism: Whilst GW is real its mostly / only natural variation and/or it's been warmer in the past so what's the problem; Cherry-picking the data and/or comparing "apples with oranges" (to use a common idiom); Distrust of models; Distrust of deduction and/or insistence on direct observation; and on and on and on. And on.
The particular set of denialists which get my goat are those who imagine something is the solution, don't like their imagined solution, and hence decide AGW isn't real. Other sets who also get my goat are by those who insist greedy scientists / "the elite" are making it all up for the money; Those who actually would be impacted by combating AGW and hence deny it (I'm looking at you, Koachroach brothers and E$$o…); and Those who deny it because it is part of some mythical sky faeries's "plans" (which, of course, it is wrong for mere humans to interfere with).
