Slag, being an engineer/scientist I'm a causal relations fan club member. There's no magic. If there is, I haven't found it yet. So, the dreaded "greenhouse effect" is just a bunch of activity to be followed to see what is really going on.

The scientifically illiterate can get a grip on the idea that CO2 is increasing and that causes warming and therefore, we have an answer = we are going to get really hot.

They can add to that the idea of ocean currents coming to a halt causing localized freezing and maybe therefore a global ice age.

But you never hear them talk about the oceanic crust, subduction and what happens to all the beasties involved. Without thinking it through, they are Gaia fan club members. They think Earth loves us, if only we will be nice to it. They can't imagine that Gaia is actually suicidal and happy to take us with it unless we yank the reins and put a stop to the MADness.

It makes much more sense that we are the super amazing special beings with finely honed minds which are specifically put here to take charge of ignorant nature. One doesn't need to be superstitious or religious to think something is going on and that we seem to be part of it in a big way and we had better do something about it or suffer the consequences.
