conservatives pretend that global warming doesn't exist

Conservatives, such as myself, find it very difficult to believe that people cause global warming (TM). Most press coverage of it always contains something along the lines of:

"A controversial measure by the Bush Administration to not ratify Kyoto Accord to curb the effects of global warming has angered environmentalists....".

When in reality, the senate voted against Kyoto, 95-0, in 1997.

It has been so politicized, and used by socialist groups such as the UN and the MSM to push an agenda, that it is really difficult to believe any of it.

A couple weeks ago I visited a friend of mine at school where he is doing his PhD in avalanche mechanics. He took me through a freezer where lots of Antarctic ice-cores are kept, as his advisor has travelled there a few times with research groups specifically to study global warming. His advisor, who is a liberal, even says that there are too many unknowns to conclude that people are causing climate change.
