Your comments say little about the phenomena in question and an awful lot about who you consider yourself to be. 

Everyone has a stake in GW, especially in the USA, because most of the GHG heating up the atmosphere has "Made in the USA" written all over it. Of course I know all that stuff about CO2 and AGW, otherwise I wouldn't be so concerned.  I don't pay much attention to "the media" because mainstream journalism has little to say about AGW that is worth listening to. I do cast an occasional glance at scientific journals and journalists, especially those that negotiate between science and the intelligent lay reader. 

Given much of your comment, it's possible to infer that when you say you don't have a "personal or partisan stake in GW" what you really mean is that you don't care much about the human future. That is pretty bleak there, buddy,  pretty bleak. If true, it would also be, at best, intellectually lazy, and at worst, a total abandonment of human empathy.. Yikes . . .
