To your question:
Why is it, when this topic comes up, so many people that are on the side that says human centric global warming is a fact; tend to use the argument that anyone who does not agree with them is a right-wing gun toting SUV driving mentally crippled slack jawed idiot?
Experience.
Since very few people can become experts in ever field, we rely on other experts. Just as I do not expect my users to know much about how a Unix server works and they don't expect me to know much about how account management works, they do their job and I do mine. When the only climate scientists that argue against AGW are nut jobs and those that highlight them are gun toting right wing nuts, we extrapolate.
Of course there are exceptions. Some right wing nuts don't own any weapons and some drive sedans.
