All I was trying to do question Harry's assumption of "the reality of global warming" because, like you said, I think he accepts it as a belief without question.
As for me, I have no beliefs about the physical world; I only have working theories (that change as I learn new information). My current theory about Global Warming is that there is insufficient evidence to support the hypothesis that humans are causing it.
