(see also my response to Ashock) this is (without using this as an argument for proving eg enhanced greenhouse effect or evolution....because it isn't) in my opinion the big problem with most people.
So many people have an opinion about eg man made global warming without understanding even only a little bit about the science. The big issue here is that people don't even have the decency to ask themselves the question if it is right for them to have such a strong opinion about something they don't know anything about (as a result the CO2 debate has become a political right versus left debate while right or left don't have anything to do with it).
