I still don't understand why these otherwise intelligent freepers don't get the political connection with the academic elitist left, and question what they've been taught by those same people in science class?
A grounded conservative student, subjected to leftist brainwashing in any field, doesn't become a missionary for the left. He/she fights it, because it's biased and they know it.
These folks must not have been solid in their understanding that their profs might just be handing them a line in science class. Gullible is the word that comes to mind.
Nope.
The mechanism of anthropogenic global warming is accepted by the scientific community. The extent of anthropogenic global warming is disputed, though almost all of us believe there is some; it's a question of how much. We also disagree about how harmful it is (my own opinion is it's real and largely beneficial).
However, most scientists who know anything about the subject will tell you that regardless of the extent of global warming, Kyoto is a useless and likely harmful international agreement.
Some just want to sound smart. Mostly they're atheists. It's a religious thing.
