[[A lot of people here think there is no such thing as global warming/climate change, because that's what Rush Limbaugh tells them to think.]]

Now that is a pejorative assessment painting with a broad brush stroke. Demonization is a very lame debate tactic. I can only speak for myself, the argument is about cause and scope of effect, and I do not listen to Rush Limbaugh. I listen to people like Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT. Do you deny the 'hockey stick' model has been proven to be fraudulent ? Do you deny that funding plays an important role ? Scientific advancement has never been furthered by consensus opinions, but by skeptics who challenge that consensus, otherwise we would still be adhering to the flat earth view. It was only three decades ago that global cooling was the professed scientific consensus creating dire predictions.

I am only replying because you correctly recognized my rhetoric. I have only one word for Rush Limbaugh, and that's stfu. As for the rest of the knee jerk conservatives, the word is desertification. Tell your grandchildren I told 'em so.
