Oh, and then they get on their high horses and ivory towers condescendingly tell us all that the rest of us just don't understand how things work.

It pains me to say this, but you bring up a good point. Scientists who are actually concerned about global warming are also concerned about people who blame everything on global warming (like the warm weather we had this year).
Global warming isn't evident in our day to day lives (we're only talking a few degrees over a century or more), where it's evident is the shrinking ice caps, vanishing coastal shelves, and the extinction of species that rely on those habitats.
Those are all real, serious problems, but global warming has also become a catch-all phrase that's used where it doesn't belong, and that hurts the cause as much as the people who deny it.
