Now I didn't actually take high school biology, but I thought there had 
been some progress made in this area - autotrophs create organic 
compounds from inorganic compounds through photosynthesis - and I thought 
I had read a couple of things recently about some advances that had been 
made in understanding photosynthesis and even (maybe) in creating 
something that is capable of photosynthesis.

And even then it's not that controversial.  It's a relatively small 
percentage of scientists who study climate change who think climate 
change isn't happening.
