And it never occured to you that maybe there is an increase in global warming caused by human activity?

Maybe

So why is this issue a matter of political ideology for you and not a matter of science?

You are the one making it an ideology. Global warming is a theory. You do exactly what the envirowackos do, and assume it is a fact. From your own post...

but we still need to address the problem.

What problem?

It hasn't been shown yet at all that global warming as a consequence of human activity, specifically burning of petroleum and coal fuels, even exists. Not only have their been ice ages in the last 100k years, there have been global warming interludes such that sea levels were higher, and mountain climates in many parts of the world warmer.

You must have checked your logic at the door.
