I have to say, it blows my mind that there are still so many people that don't believe GW is real. Why do we always have to be the country the whole world thinks is mathematically and scientifically challenged?

You do realize that when you exhale the air you exhale is "CO2"? So if you are such a hard nosed believer STOP BREATHING.

You need to be more specific. Global Warming is a fact, though when, how much, and precedence is debatable. Anthropogenic Global Warming is a fact, though again... how much man influences and its significance is debatable. Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming is a failed hypothesis (ie it consistently fails tests via observed evidence).
Statistical evaluation is not a validation mechanism. That is, you can not establish a known when you have too many unknowns. If you have to "estimate" a possible conclusion from the test, then you are not applying scientific process of validation.
For someone who makes such an arrogant statement about such topics, it would be prudent to actually understand them in order to avoid looking foolish.
when someone denies global warming they are just saying loud and clear that they are an uneducated rube.
What are they denying? Be more specific. Using coined talking points to vaguely describe your opposition serves no purpose other than to allow ignorant people to appear as if they have any clue what they are talking about. So, in order to avoid being categorized as such, it might be beneficial to actually step into the discussion and make a point that can be logically defended rather than hiding behind vague mention.
So, again, be more specific on your comment. Also, maybe you would like to comment on the questions I made concerning the IPCC's claims? The poster I was discussing with appeared to avoid answering to those specifics, since you are so "educated" as you seem to imply, maybe you could provide some discussion on the matter?
Or are we to expect more generalized vague references to some unsupported accusation so you can convince yourself you are intelligent?
Is climate change real? Yes.
Are humans a factor? Yes.
Are humans the driving factor? Probably not.
It's naive to think that human beings don't have an impact on our environment, but it's equally naive to think that we're the sole catalyst driving climate change. This planet has warmed and cooled many times on its own long before humans were a factor, so I'm reluctant to think otherwise.
When you consider that there's a ton of money invested in proving AGW to be true, it makes believing the claims about AGW that much harder. We're taking the word of people whose careers and funding are dependent upon coming to pre-conceived conclusions about climate change -- the manipulated data we've come across in the past few years only makes this assumption more likely.
In addition, the current government is loaded with people who are aligned to make millions, if not billions of dollars pushing green energy initiatives. Its in their best interest to push global warming as "settled science" so they can profit from environmental alarmism. Disagree with their position and you're treated as either a moron or someone who hates Mother Earth. They've found a niche where they can profit immensely and any criticisms of their motives are treated with hostility. How could anyone be against fighting climate change, after all?
