Actually, most conservatives simply want actual proof that it exists, and that we are, in fact, responsible for it.
Mount Pinatubo and Mount Saint Helens spewed more polution and greehouse gasses into the air than man has since the beginning of the industrial revolution. But global warming is our fault.
Sunspots are a major contributor to atmospheric warming, and we have been through a major sunspot cycle the last decade or so. But global warming is our fault.
Undersea volcanic activity has raised average ocean temperature about one degree, which impacts atmospheric temperatures. But global warming is our fault.
Scientists say we may still be coming out of the last mini ice-age. But global warming is our fault.
Assuming global warming is true, we probably have about as much effect on global warming as you and I would have trying to warm an olympic sized swimming pool by pissing in it.
Other than that I agree with you. What you take as dismissal of global warming by most conservatives, is actually dismissal of the pseudo-science that has been used to promote it.
Exactly. Great post.
You rock
