why some ameritards deny global warming?
because in civilized societies where people have proper evidence science based education no one doubts about reality

Well, the warming that we are seeing is mainly just part of a cycle the earth goes through, we are due another ice age. Certain elites are pushing the idea that humans are more responsible than they really are. I am one of the greenest people you'd meet, I recycle everything I can, I refuse to use central heating etc, but the drastic claims which they say are due to humans is just fear mongering for certain agendas. Al Gore, a proponent of the apocalyptic effects of human made global warming has a mansion that uses 20 times more energy than the average household. You'd have thought that if we really were causing such damage to the atmosphere, he'd be the last person using up so much energy.

@pianoplayingsteve Al Gore is not a climate scientist. And is probably a hypocrite. You're not a climate scientist either. For that matter, neither am I.
Whenever these debates come up I always remember my encounters with research-oriented PhDs and the depth of their specialization. In that narrow field, the gulf of knowledge between a layman and the typical PhD academic is vast. Trust me, "cycle the earth goes through" is not being ignored by nearly one hundred percent of climate scientists on the planet and you don't understand it better than them. And traditionally, elites have been funding anti-climate change research, without much actual success. Even now - do you think Trump wouldn't love having a report handed to him absolving him of responsibility and justifying withdrawal of the Paris accords? Nobody will vouch for it.
You're making a judgement on the scientific consensus based on the lifestyle of of a professional attention whore and untrained common sense. Dude... come on.

@pianoplayingsteve Problem is, while Al Gore is a poster child for the cause, scientists in literally every scientific discipline agree almost unanimously that climate change is 1) real, 2) dire and 3) enormously accelerated by man's activities.
Congratulations on doing what you can. You do know, though, that the mantra is reduce, reuse and, finally, recycle. Which is not terribly supported by all because of the hidden costs and resource use.
Scientists have no political agenda. They use the scientific method to research and report.
