There seems to be a lot of that in America. People who deny global warming, young earth creationists, and the like.

None moreso than any other western country on this planet.  I challenge anyone to argue that North Americans are more naive on the subject of Global Warming than Europeans, South Americans, Australians, Asians, Africans, etc....

In all fairness the Aussies did just elect a moron who doesn't believe in climate change as their damn PM. They've got some 'splaining to do.

But he's wrong. 97% of all scientists agree that climate change is due to human action. Arguing against global warming is just as ridiculous as arguing against evolution or gravity.

Care to explain what your source is for this:

"97% of all scientists agree that climate change is due to human action"

Maybe your right, but can you list a reference for your statement?

http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

That's from NASA, but here's an article posted just 3 days ago from Salon http://www.salon.com/2014/08/11/yet_another_study_confirms_the_overwhelming_scientific_consensus_on_climate_change/

It changes between 97 and 98. Either way.
