If you look hard enough, you can find a person with a white lab coat and a degree who will agree with anything you like. Hell, wasn't there some dumb politician a couple of years ago claiming a woman cannot get pregnant by rape, and with a doctor to back him up? And some people still really believe that crap!
And didn't a lot of people actually believe the rubbish about Mayans predicting the end of the world - I even know of one "scientist" who believed it - bloody fool.
What we know for sure is that global warming is real. What we don't know for sure is that it is caused by man - it's just that every other possible explanation has been examined and discounted, including Act of God.
Denying global warming is just propaganda, in order to keep those responsible in power.
I think part of the problem is that quite a few people have no idea what global warming really means, or it's effects.
And, as is common today in many things, lots of people are more interested in insulting the messenger rather than listening to the message.
as a former Republican who turned Libertarian I would like to answer this. Whenever money is involved, peoples attitude toward science is altered. To receive a research grant, you must suck up to the paradigm that is current among bureaucrats.So presenting a theory that cannot be disproven will keep the funds coming in. There was a time when to receive a PhD, you had to have significant teaching experience. But now anyone that convinces 3 morons, will qualify. So a lot of bad science appears in peer reviewed journals. Add that to the fact that nearly all nobel prizes are politically motivated. go back and look at the evidence, Linus Pauling advocating that vitamin C will cure everything. Barak Obama getting a prize for what. Leo Tolstoy not awarded because we couldn't offend the Czar. Meme theory shows that bad science floats around for generations. Global warming cannot be predicted, nor can it be corrected. There are wars, poverty, religions, technological blunders, and dictators who will cause more change than all the coal that is burned. But the main reason global warming is not real is because of the problem of diseases causing more havoc as a result of increased population and people consuming less energy per capita and technology negating the need to travel. If you really think global warming is real eliminate the automobile.
To me this sounds like a question from a brainwashed idiot. The reason I say that is from scientific facts. Here is one scientific face often pointed out by the late Dr. Carl Sagan who was an astronomy professor.
As a star ages (the sun is a star) it grows hotter. If you can believe that then global warming would be inevitable. Yes it does exist but there is no evidence that it is man made nor that any of the proposed resolutions to it from Democrats/liberals/Obama will correct it.
They are pushing solar energy which could work for non urban residential applications but would not be cost effective. The one thing that proves it is politially motivated is Nicola Tesla's accomplishments and his statement that free electrical energy from cosmic radiation and other forms of radiation is everywhere present. It also works at night.
This comes from a man who has illuminated hundreds of light bulbs at a distance of 20-30 miles with no conductors between the two sights.
Fossil fuels account for a huge chunk of the GOP's funding. In 2009 alone, they spent $175 million on lobbying. I'm not sure the exact breakdown, but that's got to be at least 10% to 20% of their total campaign contributions just coming from fossil fuels. They need that money to get re-elected. Even in solidly red states, they need fossil fuel money on their side to make it through primaries within their own party. They've pretty much decided it's in the best interest of their political careers too do what fossil fuels want, even if it annoys a few people such as yourself (Who will still vote for them anyways).

Because they're too goddamn lazy to cross the border to visit conservative-ruled Canada where Canadians are living the very real impact of global warming on a daily goddamn basis.
Like the saying goes: Seeing is Believing.
And like the Good Book says in Psalm 82: "They know not because they will not understand. None so blind as those that will not see. They have baffled their own consciences, and so they walk on in darkness.”
That sums up global warming deniers in general, and American deniers in particular, especially the GOP.
They can all sit around denying global warming till they're blue in the face.
All they're doing is fiddling like Nero while Rome burns.
Unless and until they grow a pair and put they put their beliefs to the test of personal experience, their opinions are completely and utterly worthless.
As worthless as some idiot living in a cave denying sunshine's real, or some moron drooling in a desert denying rivers, lakes and oceans exist.
Only their precious egos can't handle having this simple fact rubbed in their yellow bellied faces.
=====
Gutless Wonders giving thumbs down can't & doesn't magically get their lazy @sses over the border to experience the reality of man-made global warming here in Canada.
Instead, they're just providing more proof of what I said about idiot deniers having worthless opinions because their opinions aren't founded in actual, real-world, personal experience that they're all too cowardly to get.
Until those dolts and cowards get their @sses up here to Canada and smarten up (and so we Canadians can laugh in their faces) I'll just have to keep mocking those momma's boys from a distance.
I don't need a Democrat to tell me Global Warming is real. The temperature ALWAYS goes up in the Summer. It's been doing this for years. It's nothing to get excited about. Stupid Democrats. Next, they'll be causing a panic when the temperature falls during the Winter!
I took a university course in Physical Geography back in the 60s. The prof was paranoid about what he called "greenhouse gasses," so this is alarmism is by no means new. Since Prof Hare's day the greenhouse gasses have undoubtedly increased, but volcanic eruptions have continued to contribute to that increase and always will regardless of what mankind does. Meanwhile, let's not panic, but continue to work for cleaner air in OUR neighborhoods. California did it with their emission controls years ago. Coal-fired generators are either being decommissioned or cleaned up. Jonas Salk did not do his bit to eradicate polio because people were protesting in the streets, but because he saw a need and took the time necessary to satisfy it. So it is with the environment.
I find it seriously disturbing that this has been turned into a partisan issue, when the destruction of our planet will affect all of us, no matter what party we vote for. Because of all the lies being told by the anti-science crowd, we Americans cannot even agree on a common set of facts, and until we can do that, we won't be able to have the national discussion we need to have in order to come up with some possible solutions.
A well known and respected climatologist just announced we are in a 30 year cooling period. I've heard other scientists say the same thing. These climatoloists and meteorologists are ignored by the LAME STREAM media and the left. You leftists say "case closed" no need to debate it. Well, just because you believe it that doesn't make it so. BTW, most people are aware of climate cycles. We know of the past ice ages, and warming periods. We know the climate is in constant change. It seems only the LIBERAL MORONS ignore natural climate cycles and blames it on man. And you call yourselves the intelligent ones? LOL
I mostly agree with their parties views, but the fact that they continue to deny global warming, calling it a hoax and citing obscure research papers to back it up really alienates me from the party. Mitch McConnel was just elected Senate Minority Leader and is a staunch advocator for coal, the filthiest fossil fuel. Do Republicans only care about creating jobs and lowering energy prices, even if it comes at the expense of Earth, our only home?
Republicans are funded by the Koch Brothers and oil companies. Their contributors stand to lose money if we actually do anything to anything about global warming. The Keystone pipeline will create a total of 50 permanent jobs in the US. It will do huge damage to the environment. The dirty oil that the pipeline will take from Canada to the Gulf Coast for export will contribute to global warming. Building the pipeline will violate treaties with the Sioux Nation and spoil their Reservation. Thousands of Americans will have their land seized in condemnation proceedings for Canadian companies. The Koch's will profit billions of dollars.
You need to do further research for yourself on the pros and cons of global warming and then decide for yourself. You will find that it isn't real and that it is being used as a platform to convince bleeding hearts like you that it is real. I have spent almost a year researching the subject. The evidence that I found clearly proves that global warming does not exist as is stated. I am more concerned about a nuclear winter killing off our planet which will happen long before anything happens to our atmosphere.
The problem isn't that we believe or not. We just don't accept your cause or solution. We also don't see your Gurus leading by personal example. Both Gore & Obama have an obscene carbon footprint while asking the rest to live a 3rd world existence.
Now if you whiners are wish to take personal responsibility to design an economically viable solution more power to you. Remember the conservatives can easily be manipulated with profits.
Maybe if they stopped fudging the data. The Earth goes through warm and cold cycles. In the Midwest USA, it's 15 degrees Farenheit! And it's only November! So much for global warming.
Because global warming is a hoax that was created to make guys like Al Gore tons of money and it has worked Gore is now a billionaire. The only scientists that actually believe in global warming are scientists that were forced to say they believe in it in order to get government funding. Al Gore says if the temperature goes up, down, or stays the same this is all proof of global warming and a shocking number of you believe that crap.

Follow the money is the best way to judge why a politician promotes a particular policy or group and votes as he does..
McConnel's third largest contributor is the Oil and Gas Industry, plus he gets addition money from the mining industry, he is of course against the ACA and his forth biggest contributor is the Insurance Industry.
People have a problem with it. Global warming, causes cooling. In 100 years our population will have fallen back to less than 2 billion. This due to disease, starvation and war! Consider the war on global warming, a super way to make as much money as you can before everything falls apart. Then if survivors exist, we will put it all back together again.
Because man made global warming is not fact. It is consensus.
In the last 10 years alone you can read books worth of consensus being wrong.
Sometimes science is mistaken, sometimes it is twisted for nefarious reasons.
I won't argue that it's not real, but I also won't blindly believe it to be true until it is fact and not just consensus.
The planet goes thru cycles of warming and cooling, its done so for thousands of years. Informed, intelligent people have accepted that.
What we don't accept is the liberal notion that an all powerful central government with complete control of the economy and the lives of the citizens can somehow control the weather.
okay for all you people who believe the stupid government agencies that think all they are doing is informing you of facts and protecting you well all of that is complete crap okay the holes in the ozone layer are mainly over these place with no vegetation or plant really of any kind that the chemicals back in the air to produce what is known as the "ozone" like the pole there is nothing there to put that ozone back so basically there were already holes before this stupid agency found a way to take you money for a noble cause okay so that's my theory if you don't like it whatever (sorry for bad grammar and misspellings just tired of this stupid side of the argument of no we need to stop using gas as fuel such crap your putting in your children's mouths so they will feel better when they "CHANGE THE WORLD")
Right now it is about 30+ degrees below normal for where I live. Plus the Demarcates have scared you till you are making them all billionaires selling the government crap on government contracts.
Look at how much of your tax money was wasted on alternative energy and company's that took our tax money went belly up and laugh all the way to the bank.
They need that money to get re-elected. Even in solidly red states, they need fossil fuel money on their side to make it through primaries within their own party. They've pretty much decided it's in the best interest of their political careers too do what fossil fuels want.
No one is denying that global warming (and cooling) is taking place. The +problem+ is that there bad decisions being made with information from the hysteria which is being created by the alarmists.
International Socialists like Gore are creating a false hysteria in order to scare the masses into giving up freedom and to submit to more government control, more “international” government control. Wake up, America! He who controls energy controls the world.
As Margaret Thatcher put it: global warming is proving to be “a marvelous excuse for international socialism.”
Global warming is indeed real and has been documented with ice cores dating back tens of thousands of years.
What is NOT real is the quackery that humans caused (or can even affect) global warming.
The scare tactics being perpetrated upon us are only a money/power grab scheme by bottom-feeder politicians accompanied by their so-easily-led sheeple who take their prattle, even their movies, as hard science..
To find that my statement above is true, follow the money. See just who it is who will profit from the carbon offset, carbon tax, & etc.
Here is truth about global warming:
Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.
The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.
This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.
Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).
As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).
When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.
It's been happening for millions of years.
The worrisome and brutal predictions of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY.
As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to 'predict' chaotic systems such as weather.
Global warming (AKA "climate change")
Humans did not cause it
Humans cannot stop it

The republican tactic is to completely ignore actual scientists, insist that they, themselves, are not scientists so 'they don't really know why or if global warming is happening,' and then continue to ignore actual scientists who DO know and understand basic facts.
Yes, republicans resort to idiotic, uniformed nonsense because they flat out refuse to do anything to disappoint corporate interests or corporate profits, no matter how much their actions screw over the American people and our planet.
Remember when BP dumped millions of gallons of toxic oil into the gulf coast, and republicans said that it wars 'unamerican' to require BP to clean up their own oil spill and reimburse their victims?
Because we know, for a fact, it is NOT! A few days ago, scientists admitted that planet Earth has begun it's 'iceberg' phase...........for the next 30+ years..........Earth will be colder than it has been in a long time.
I think it's time for liberals to read about the truth and stop sticking their heads in the sand and saying 'oh poor me'....
"global warming" is about as real as the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and honest politicians. The climate on this planet has been changing since this planet was made and started its rotational trip to the sun. There is NOTHING man can do to cause, prevent or control it.
By the way, I just shoveled 2 inches of "global warming" off my driveway. I expect to shovel several more feet of it before spring comes.
Global warming is real BUT it is not caused 100 percent by man !!! The Sun is growing and the earth is closer to the sun not by much but I am sure that is causing most of the global warming .
Man worsened global warming is real and we're speeding up the rising of the sea level by hundreds of years they don't care.
