"To accept Global Warming is not to support the “solutions” by elites such as Bill Gates. It seems that the scientifically illiterate deniers of Global Warming are partly reacting to people such as Bill Gates, but denying elite solutions is not the same as denying reality."

Precisely and well stated.

The numbers of otherwise intelligent people who cannot -- or, better stated WILL NOT -- discern the difference surprises me.

Especially since the chemistry around carbon "radiation" is not difficult to comprehend such that even a schmuck like me gets it.

I think that you live a bit above schmuck level. :)

But yes, the capture of photons by carbon dioxide is not hard to understand, nor is the idea that when the captured photons are re-emitted, some will be aiming back at Earth. That is considered to be the primary factor in today's Global Warming. It is pretty easy, really, but watch all of the gyrations of people eager to dismiss that relevance.
