It’s based on **doorhinge’s** trolling in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=772882) in which he’s claiming he doesn’t believe in global warming because he hasn’t been “convinced” by the evidence, while it’s obvious he doesn’t have the foggiest understanding of the evidence.

Here’s a sample post.

You just can’t seem to comprehend the fact that the voters haven’t fully accepted your version of man-made-C02-is-evil and instead choose to elect representatives that you don’t approve of. I’m shocked. Shocked. That you can’t figure out a way to convince more people that your version of man-made-C02-is-evil is the believable version. But I’m rooting for you.
