Haha, you only just realized that? I discovered it years ago when I started hearing about global warming, and everybody I talked to had already formed a silly opinion out of nothing.

You can't expect much more for such a speculative topic. Global warming doesn't have a clear direct impact on any of us. Nobody really knows what's going on. That's why people have to resort to beliefs and making up bits of reasoning to give themselves something to hang their personal idealism on.

So I basically have no respect for the topic - it's a free-for-all.
