Might want to check on that whole “pagan worshipper” thing. Many Jewish scholars saw the matter somewhat differently:
“The great rabbinical authorities, R. Gershom of Mayence (d. 1040); Rashiand his school; the French Tosafists of the twelfth century (’Ab. Zarah, 2a); Solomon ben Adret of Barcelona, of the thirteenth century; Isaac b. Sheshet of the fourteenth century (Responsa No. 119); Joseph Caro, and Moses Isserles of the sixteenth century declare that Christians are to be regarded as Proselytes of the Gate and not as idolaters, in spite of their image-worship.”

Same can be said about global warming. Different people, even so-called scholars, can be incorrect.
