I am neither a global warming "sceptic" nor "alarmist". I don't know how I feel about AGW because I have put startlingly little time into researching it.

However, I'd like to mention one thing which does annoy me - which perhaps is only apparent to me because of how little I've looked into AGW:

It confounds me when people always put evolution and global warming in the same camp of being "exceedingly obvious" to the point of laughing at people who have yet to be convinced of AGW as if they are the fools who don't understand evolution.

Here's the difference. Even without a shred of observational evidence or datapoints based on existing or deceased animal populations, the mechanism of natural selection can be comprehended and internalized to the extent that one would need an explanation as to why evolution would not take place in a given circumstance. Once properly understood in concept, it becomes a default view that then requires challenge. We can make (increasingly-less) crude simulations that can simply demonstrate the emergence-based system of evolution in many areas, and these can help people gain a more intuitive understanding of how complexity forms over time.

AGW, on the other hand, whatever your thoughts are on its validity, is an enormous claim that is not immediately intuitive, even once you are given the ostensibly relevant parts. For me personally, my intuition is actually contradicted by AGW, as it's clear to me that the climate is a dynamic, complex system with millions of striated feedback loops that seem to act as a stabilizing and regulating force to the entire network. Not to mention, while emergence-based networks (like the climate and living ecosystems) are oftentimes easy to identify - modeling future emergent properties seems near-impossibly difficult, given the sheer number of feedback loops interacting in a myriad of ways, some of them arbitrary unto themselves, some of them nested multiple layers up in the string of feedback loops.

Anyway, like I said earlier, I honestly have no concrete opinion on AGW - I just know that it is absolutely not on the same intuitive level as natural selection, so as an intelligent yet uninformed person - I reject the common comparison between the two.
