The double standard is quite easy. The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it's man-made and it is a serious issue that needs addressing. Then the anti-environment right-wingers point to the few "scientists" that say that it is all malarky and say "see.. I told you so".
Like I have said in the other threads, the anti-global-warming folk don't really need to prove that global warming doesn't exist. They only have to confuse the public just enough that there isn't the political will to move forward on this issue and the situation will continue to get worse.
Those who say the class should be 50% "Inconvenient Truth" and 50% "Global Warming Swindle", should science class be 50% "Evolution" and 50% "Intellegent Design"? Should they be given equal footing?
