Short answer: Politically-induced mass hysteria...
---and now:---one a bit longer...:-))
... It still surprises me that there are those who are willing to blindly heed the rantings of global-warming "Doomsday prophets" and their 'hockey-stick graph' teachings,...
... then only to find that almost all of them have never even heard of Milankovitch Cycle theories, much less understand their significance with reference to long-term global climate changes.
Why, - just back in the 70s there were many,MANY people who were 100% POSITIVE that the Earth was on the verge of another Ice Age?...:-))
FYI: They were incorrect...
I understand it has become trendy to ignorantly glom onto environmental issues,...but I've got some bad news for all global-warming alarmists out there:...

Do you want to see pictures?

"Belief" is not required. It's not a matter of religion. People accept it as fact because it's been documented by highly intelligent people who measure and study climate scientifically.
Counter-question:
Why do people conclude that something is crap without studying the evidence first?

I suspect they're feeling guilt and self-hatred for being blessed with living in America and having so much more than everyone else in the world. Global warming hysteria is just a bit of self-flagellation to assuage that guilt.

Because we can see it happening. The temperature is rising and it is measurable and consistently going UP.
Greenhouse gasses (CO2) are the reasons the earth has had periods of extreme climate change. We also know for a fact we are releasing TRILLIONS of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere daily. We are destabilizing our own planet.

SunSpots, alot of them causes heat build up.
Few of them causes Ice Age.
I think the Answer to this global warning will be found in the Sun.

Because there is scientific evidence that it is true. Over 95% of the scientists in this area believe the scientific evidence. Study it and you will believe it too.

Because it's basic reality with empirical evidence.
Why do people believe global warming is crap?
