Attack of the Theocrats!
Personally, I'm convinced (persuaded?) by the findings of scientists that not only is global warming an empirical fact, there is a significant anthropogenic component to it. On top of that, I'm also aware that the leaked emails are being presented out of context by journalists and "skeptics" that are either ignorant of the subject or have an agenda of their own.
It's just that I'm too damn confident human ingenuity, both in the shape of the free market economy and the entire enterprise of science itself, will find a way to adapt to this new, on average warmer, world.
That and I'm way more skeptical about thousands of politicians agreeing on anything, unless it empowers them, some way or the other.
