Apologies to anyone basing their beliefs on religious faith or personal experience. That's your choice, and unfair for me to judge.
As for straw man, I don't think that's technically correct, but it's a hard point to make without analogy.
Conventional wisdom is (I believe the majority of people are under the impression) that there's actually a scientific debate about this, and that the scientists and climatologists are all bickering about the causes. That's not the case, but we're largely ignoring that because the media and a few opposing scientists are casting doubt.
