A bleak wasteland like the world of Mad Max beyond Thunder Dome a dog eat dog world where you do what you have to just to survive or a Shining Utopia filled with energy efficient cars and power smart homes everywhere and everyone of the planet recycling there plastic items and paper as well?

There seems to be people asking questions in Global Warming Section who already seem to know the answer to their own question. Why do you think people who know the answer ask these questions?

Please answer with YES or NO

Yes = I agree that Global Warming is a Hoax
No = I do not agree that Global Warming is a Hoax

Is global warming an excuse for libs to raise taxes and for socialists to strangle industry?

ESPN has said that they are going to power down the set whenever they are not on the air, i am wondering if the power used to reboot everything (lights, computers ect.) cancel out what they were saving?

I was watching a documentary on planet earth on the discovery channel and how scientists are predicting that natural disasters will cause human life to go extinct I want your opinion on should we care about our man made problems or not care if this is going to happen anyway.

Okay so why does everyone say that Al Gore and the IPCC are wrong. How can they be wrong if there predicting what might happen in the future. So how can they be wrong? I mean An Inconvieninent Truth was Al Gore and the IPCC showing the world what might happen if we don't do anything.

Can someone please tell me why people don't get it?

Actions taken at the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Summit in Seattle include stepping up programs to weatherize buildings, capture methane gas from landfills, switch municipal fleets to hybrids, promote mass transit and buy cleaner electricity.

Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels cited the " ... failure of our federal government to step up," and NY's Bloomberg added that "Green energy is going to be the oil gusher of the 21st century."

The 728 mayors cities house 1/4 of the nation's population.

...that Global Warming is caused by Human activity, or that it even EXISTS.
And yet reject out of hand ANY facts that shoot holes in this Mass Disinformation campagne?

I'd like to provide a bit of food for thought. Let's not weigh the question down with all the merits of your argument one way or the other, let's set aside all the wonderful names that have emerged on all sides, and consider the words of two widely embraced people, both of whom left us years ago:

"A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds." -- Mark Twain

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead

If we work together we can find common ground, don't you think?

Does anyone know of any peer reviewed papers associated with the methodology of the PMOD corrections applied to the ACRIM composite?

Quite often AGW alarmists provide arguments from websites and blogs that indicate that PMOD is the more correct choice for a TSI dataset. Alternatively there are websites and blogs as well as peer reviewed literature that indicate PMOD is invalid, and any analysis or conclusions about climate drawn from PMOD might subsequently be invalid as well. Without peer reviewed literature supporting PMOD, it is hard to take the alamists opinion on PMOD seriously, when the data does not conform to what is known.

A website that supports ACRIM.

Okay this may be a ridiculous question, but curiosity mixed with honestly not knowing raised enough questioning so I had to ask. (Things you think about while driving home after working an overnight. lol)
But then does it truly matter because it would take more time to get to our destination?

This is really starting to get old. Look, here's all the data proving that the surface station data is reliable.

Here is a plot of the supposed "good" stations (red, CRN12), "bad" sations (green, CRN5), and GISS data, originally linked by EnragedParrot:

A graph of surface and troposphere temperature measurements, the latter taken by satellite:

And a discussion of the mistaken assumptions in questioning the surface station data courtesy of RealClimate:

http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/07/no-man-is-an-urban-heat-island/

The denier argument consists of - "look, this temperature station is next to a garbage can. That must be bad!"

Can the AGW doubters please drop this ridiculous argument now? It just undermines your position.

Anthony Watts, a broadcast meteorologist, is leading an effort to photograph weather stations and document their quality. He has now photographed 1/3 of USHCN weather stations and found that only 15% of them meet the minimum requirements of the NOAA. The remaining 85% have a significant warm bias.
http://surfacestations.org/

See Watts presentation to climate scientists here:
http://gallery.surfacestations.org/UCAR-slides/index.html

Steve McIntyre, a leading statistician in climate science, did a reconstruction of US temps using only good quality stations identified by Watta. McIntyre learned that the warmest years in the US were 1934, then 1921, then 1998 and then 2006.
http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=2145

If natural climate variation in the 1920s and 1930s caused warmer temperatures than we have experienced in the last 20 years, why is there any reason to be scared of global warming?

Why are the alarmists so slow to learn the facts?
