Human caused climate change is a scam, turning into a religion real fast, attracting all kind of wackoes and wide-eyed extremists. Remindes me of some other movements, like Iconoclasts, Wiedertäufer and Maschinenstürmer.

That ruling is absurd. BAD! – to answer your question.

If you are using Michael Crichton’s ‘State of Fear’ as a reference then I can understand your misunderstanding of the issues.

A little research on the net can lead you to much information that should bring you to the conclusion that an anthropomorphic signature in greenhouse gas levels and the resultant warming leading to ‘climate change’ is very real.

As for Crichton’s book I will point you at:

as just one source which highlights the problems with his slant on the issues and also bring you up to speed on some research.

I have many more links if necessary, but hey, you do some work. 😉
