Maybe there wouldn't be such push-back against the idea of climate change if there weren't so many holier-than-thou preachers out there.  The religious-like fervor of the 'believers' (like the author), whom I'm sure don't understand the scientific data any more than the non-believers, shows it is just that - a religion. 

Take out the high preachers like Suzuki and Gore with their anti-oil agendas, take out the rhetoric, and treat AGW as the mere scientific hypothesis that it is.
