So you know what global warming makes me think of? The greatest scapegoat of all time.

Part of the problem with credibilty is that people hear things like that, and assume that the rest is a crock too. I think, in general, treating ecology as an ideology is entirely the wrong way to go about things - you might convince a few people, but the rest will just see the dogma and be put off by it. The pragmatic approch is by far the best approach if enough people are to be convinced that there really are sound reasons for thinking that sudden climate change really is something to be worried about.
