Global Warming

Why are people denying the existence of global warming caused by man? There is enormous scientific evidence proving that it does exist. I can only guess that people who deny it are justifying their unsustainable lifestyles thereby avoiding the guilt and being compelled to change. However this seems irrational, can anyone explain?

How come Gore constantly says humans are to blame for global warming and that we should destroy our american economy so we can save the earth while he lines his pockets.

If Global Warming is happening right now on Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluton, the moon Triton, etc are experiencing rises in temperatures how can we cause all that harm? Is this a sign that the Sun is just heating up or another scare tactic like the time in the 1930s when the Gore of that time made rediculous movies about kids getting stoned and turning into murderers to exaggerate the effects of Marijuana?

How come Gore keeps on refusing Debate Chalenges against him against people who believe Global Warming is not Human caused?

Ponder this... 70-71% of the earth is covered by water. That means 29-30% is covered by land. The earth is 200 million square miles. Humans take up 58 million square miles of the earth's land. That's 29% of the earth's land that we inhabit.
About 25% of that land is occupied by poor/3rd world countries.The world population is around 6.5 billion humans. 20%-30% live in those poor, undeveloped countries.

My point? I’m getting there…
So you have around 80% of humans who are polluting and even less that are adding significant amounts of pollution to the earth. Put all these humans in one place and let them pollute. You know how much of the earth they would be affecting? Most definitely less than 5% of the entire earth. It’s actually more like 1%, but I wanted to account for any math error I may have made. So our pollution is like a needle in a haystack.

I would like to ask how it is possible that we are ruining the ozone when we account for less 5% of the entire earth?

First of all, let me state that global warming is the warming of the Earth's atmosphere leading to climate change such as the melting of ice caps, melting of glaciers, and rising sea levels. I don't think there can be much debate about whether global warming is actually happening. I think the term "global warming" is mistakenly used to mean "warming caused by human activity".

Second, I'm not asking what, if anything, can be done to stop/slow global warming. What I'm asking is to what extent do you think human activity is involved with global warming versus natural processes - whether they are Earthly or Solar.

My personal feeling is the warming is part of a natural cycle which human activity might accelerate, but is not the root cause.

It's a proven fact that the world goes in cycles. It gets really cold (ice ages) then warms up, then gets cold again, and keeps continuing in this pattern. Are we making the cycles happen faster?

The AAAS states global warming is real.

NAS (National Academy of Sciences), the US House Committee on Science and Technology, the United Nations, the PEW Center... Pretty much everyone save a small cadre of energy industry schills recognize there is a real problem.

Is it happening? What is the scientific evidence for global warming? Are humas accelerating this process? What can we do to try to slow it down, to minimize its effects on your life and the lives of future generations? Thanks.

seems like global warming comes from burning carbon that is no longer in the "biosphere". So for true carbon neutrality, should we consider heating with wood?

How could you have gone to Syria Ms. Pelosi - do you have a screw loose or what? You are an embarassment to this country and to the Senate. You have done just what Jane Fonda did during Viet Nam. Is your hatred of Bush so all consuming that you had to humiliate our entire country with your antics. I have absolutely no respect for you or your opinions. And I don't know anyone else who does either. This is the pulse of our country - middle America - when you don't agree with our Administration, you don't make a fool of yourself to the world. Do you really think the Syrians respected what you did. They don't act like Baboons when they err. I still can't believe you did such a stupid thing. Syria is our enemy - duh!
I don't believe there is anything you could say or do that would repair the damage you have done. It is pretty sorry when the 3rd person in line for the Presidency doesn't have any good sense. I hope very much you don't serve another term in the Senate.

Suppose gas prices were 7dollars per gallon in the US. Most people would probably drive less and less people would be bulky vehicles like SUVs. Is it a good idea to increase gas prices? Obviously people at the lower end of the economy like me would be effected more greatly than people on the higher end.
