freedumb2003: "You are most kind.
Keep reminding people of real science (AGW is not science so there goes that meme) — and why it matters to Conservatives."

The problem with Anthropogenic Global Warming (hypothesis) is that it's so entangled with Leftist politics that most people can't tell where the science ends and politics begins.
Just one quick example: does rising CO2 cause global warming?
Answer: no, historical graphs show just the opposite -- rising & falling global temperatures result in corresponding increases & decreases in CO2.
But that doesn't fit the alarmists' narrative, so we never hear it.

By contrast, evolution theory, while a delight to atheists, is nevertheless without a readily apparent political agenda.
Indeed, large Christian denominations (i.e., Roman Catholic) have, ahem... "adapted" to evolution theory by saying, in effect: whatever science may say, we're certain it was God's will & plan.

More "literalist" Christians say we can't hold both the Bible and evolution to be true at the same time, must reject one or the other.
I don't agree with that, but can respect their choices.

The ones that bother me are the ones who pretend their objections to evolution are "really" scientific, not religious.
But when you ask, it turns out that all their objections are intended to bolster their religious views by attempting to redefine (& dumb down) what is science.
I don't see that as in any way honest.

No doubt about that. Two of the leftists on your most-admired list, atheists Michael Shermer and Donald Prothero, are global warming propagandists.
