I am always shocked when talking to people who are fully convinced that AGW is a conspiracy by smart people to do something that makes no sense to me. I would be willing to be more skeptical if the consensus was 60% - 40%. But it is like 95%+ consensus! PhDs are not known to agree with their colleagues just because. They actually like exposing faulty research. Now with any science, as new data becomes available, new observations will be made. Voices that differ will be looked at with the same critical eye as long as the research is proper.

The main problem is that people who vote and do not know the scientific method may believe the tripe promoted by news outlets that they think is practically oracle worthy in their pronouncements. Convincing these believers is not an easy task….
