Well, at least now we know the source of your bias. You're an anti-Al Gore, anti-liberal ideologue who thinks this whole issue is just a political one, and thus you judge whether science is "real" or not by how well it aligns with your party line. I wouldn't be surprised if you are being influenced by the climate geniuses of conservative talk radio.

I guess there's no convincing you even if the evidence were blatent and conclusive that AGW is occurring. It is very difficult for people to be objective when they are driven by ideology.

It seems to me that people tend to prefer to believe what they want to be real or true, despite evidence to the contrary.

When what you believe is refuted by evidence, you are faced with a choice.
