>why don't we trust our scientists and climatologists? "We" do. It's a faction of conservatives in the US who either don't or find it politically useful not to. Unfortunately they're currently in charge. Obama had started to move the US towards working on the problem, but that's hit a wall now. >(Is this, sort of, Gore's fault, combined with a highly-polarizing media? I have to wonder.) This is madness. Gore didn't politicize the issue, the right did by gearing up their ideology media machine to skewer him as part of its anti-climate change crusade.
