No. You don't cognitive ability. If you did you would agree with the 97% of climate scientists that DO have cognitive ability. No, all you have is your feverish rabid rigid right ideology and a stubborn stupidity. You are judging science by politics, which is dumb.

NASA Global Warming Stance Blasted By 49 Astronauts, Scientists Who Once Worked At Agency
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/11/nasa-global-warming-letter-astronauts_n_1418017.html
Is NASA playing fast and loose with climate change science? That's the contention of a group of 49 former NASA scientists and astronauts.
On March 28 the group sent a letter to NASA administrator Charles Bolden, Jr., blasting the agency for making unwarranted claims about the role of carbon dioxide in global warming, Business Insider reported.
"We believe the claims by NASA and GISS [NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies], that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data," the group wrote. "With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled."
The group features some marquee names, including Michael F. Collins, Walter Cunningham and five other Apollo astronauts, as well as two former directors of NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The letter included a request for NASA to refrain from mentioning CO2 as a cause of global warming in future press releases and websites. The agency's "Global Climate Change" webpage says that "Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by a third since the Industrial Revolution began. This is the most important long-lived "forcing" of climate change."

I'm judging an AC installer who thinks he is familiar with scientific methods and who harbors the determination of a religious zealot to destroy the lives of those around him. Y'know... a putz who cannot discern the difference between GW and AGW and uses results interchangeably while proclaiming "I really love graphs".
Quote from futurecurrents:
Ah yes, of course, talking about AGW and moving to reduce CO2 emissions is all about destroying lives.
Time for your meds. BTW you DO know CO2 is a greenhouse gas right?
You guys crack me up. You're just too smart to believe the obvious. LOL.

Scientists questioning the accuracy of IPCC climate projections
Scientists in this section have made comments that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They may not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the projections are likely to be inaccurate due to inadequacies of current global climate modeling.

thats right... your science was just refuted and your charge that all the scientists agree was just destroyed.
so now you change the subject like a troll.
Quote from 377OHMS:
Its only *obvious* to those who worship at the altar of technological regression and whom wish to use a non-issue to redistribute wealth and income among those who did not earn it. You want to take the property of others because you could not obtain it via your own limited means. Its about money and we both know it. You don't know CO2 from your elbow and you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone qualified to discuss it with you. Its like discussing evolution with the mailman.
