Anytime that something scientific, say global warming is brought into the public eye then the majority of people won't understand the nuances of it. There is lots of ignorance surrounding global warming. (Or in this case sea level rise as the result of global warming.) Many of the people who believe in Man Made Global Warming don't understand it very well, but none of the so called global warming skeptics understand it very well. Like someone said before, skepticism isn't the same as not automatically believing something.
The burden of proof is definitely on people claiming global warming still, but like evolution that burden has been passed over many times. We have data that clearly shows the world is warmer post industrialization. How can we spew all this shit into the environment and not think it's going to affect things? Oh no, it's not doing anything, it's all nature! Give me a break. That's the equivalent of us claiming that the rain forest is cutting itself down.

Evolution is claimed. There's fucktons of evidence for evolution. Global Warming is a myth, it is claimed.
