Do you agree with Al Gore's assumption of global warming?

Question

Why?, Or Why not?

Answer 1

No, Al Gore is a nutjob. He's a loud-mouthed emotional nutjob. He doesn't care to tell people about weather phenomena known as cycles. He hopes that you don't know about the environmentalists in the 70s screaming about "global cooling". He hopes you visit his movie and wants to spoon feed you biased data that won't present the fact that the sun is in a highly active phase right now. He won't tell you to protest volcanoes that give off huge amounts of CO2.

Answer 2

ok, mr. tyrus, when you ask your questions, they need to not have the word "assumption" in them, because that makes smart people think al gore is not the great thinker of all.

al gore's ideas were written in a book that was best selling for quite a while, so i don't know where you get your idea that he is just assuming that the earth is in a balance, because it really is there.

i also wish people would stop using facts to say they are right instead of using al gore's words. do you know how many speeches al gore has made on global warming and also the slight warming trends? i would say he has more than enough lines to answer your yahoo question.

i will still answer your question though. of course i agree with al gore's fears of global warming. any person closeby to a thermometer can see how warm it is getting in this country. mr, tyrus, can i remind you how it felt barely six months ago? now compare that to what you are feeling on your long commute to the bank or wherever you conservatives go.

mr, tyrus, you and your rich guys need to start riding your bikes like me and everyone else does. if al gore could get that to be a law, the economy would explode.

so before you think up another yahoo answer about al gore, make sure you are remembering all the speeches al gore gave about the seasonal temperature changes because if it doesn't cool off soon, he might give another speech about it, and i just know it would be the same.

Answer 3

I've not agree with Gore on much of anything and this only adds to the list.

It's not because he's a Democrat. I'm just not convinced that Mother Nature isn't just going through a cycle and we are but minor players in the cycle.

Consider this. The more the ice melts, the more the sea level rises. The more the sea level rises the more water evaporates. The more water evaporates the more clouds we have. The more clouds, the more sunlight is reflected back into space. More sunlight back into space less heat in the atmosphere. Less heat means more snow and the ice caps and glaciers come back.

Mom nature is cyclic. And many of Mom's cycles are much longer than our lives or even our recorded history. How long between major ice ages? There was global warming between the ice ages. Within recent (several hundred years) times there was a mini ice age that followed a warm period. Can Al say with absolute certainty this isn't just one of Mom's cycles.

I'm convinced of one thing for certain. If Al knew half as much as he thinks he does, he'd know at least twice as much as he really does know.

We can't change Mother Nature. We can only adapt to her changes. Maybe she doesn't like where we put New York and New Orleans and this is here way of saying move to higher ground. After all I gave you legs to do that millions of years ago.

Answer 4

Al Gore makes many assumptions. I do agree that there has been a little warming over the last fifty years. I do NOT agree that humans have caused this. The environment is dynamic, not static, and the environment is always either warming or cooling. Right now, our sun is a bit warmer, and the Earth is receiving extra solar radiation. Mars is also warming. Many climatologists, the people who study the cause of climate change as opposed to scientists who study the effects, do disagree with Al Gore. His movie is not science, it is fearmongering.

Answer 5

I do not agree. Why? Because in is an assumption. He picks and chooses the information that he likes to promote his assumption. Very and I mean very little is based on complete and accurate information. Now global warming is a fact! The part that is so idiotic is that man is causing it. Man is so egotistical he really thinks he is the cause all and the end all of everything. Well surprise! He's not! The weather changes are a direct result of what is happening on the Sun. The more frequent the solar flares than the more erratic the weather and vise versa.

Answer 6

Is Al Gore the only person with the "assumption of global warming"?

Answer 7

Yes, I agree. I'm 49 yeas old and I have been around enough to see the weather changes. In Arkansas we had four seasons when I was young, now we have two. We have a cold and wet season and hot and dry season. I would hate to be a farmer today.

I think we are really close to using up the earth. We need to start conserving what we have. We need to develop alternative fuels that are renewable and not as hard on the environment. We need to recycle what we can. We need to live below our means so we will leave a smaller foot print. We need to drop any waste or anything that can be done without.

Al Gore is quickly becoming my hero. I just wish he was a republican I have issues with some of the democratic liberal agendas.

Answer 8

Global warming IS REAL, and Earth's climate has changed before. During the Middle Ages and before that time, there were two growing seasons. Earth's climate cooled in a mini ice age, and, ta daaaaaa, only one growing season. Human's starved, then came up with the idea of storing grain for winter. Yes, we survived, but we had to radically change our lifestyle to do so. Now, about our current situation....glaciers are melting, which cause sea levels to rise. Some of our cities are BELOW seal level, such as good ol' New Orleans. If sea levels rise any higher, these cities will flood, and large portions of our currently coastal areas will go the way of Atlantis. Not a pleasant thought. To fight this, our government needs to first join with the rest of the world to fight against global warming instead of calling it an unproven theory.

Answer 9

Sadly, it will take several catastrophes...cataclysmic events...such as Florida and the 9-11 memorial site in New York being submerged by rising ocean levels....extreme weather conditions, such as abominable hurricanes, etc. Logic and the scientific method are insufficient to persuade those who don't want to be persuaded.

As more and more events start unfolding in accordance with the logic of "An Inconvenient Truth," gradually the masses will come around. Yet, it will take the displacement of hundreds of millions of people before the "hard-headed-know-it-alls" see the light.

Only then will people realize that the most serious problem confronting the earth today is global warming, not the bogeyman terrorists.

Only through incredible catastrophes, which global warming will indeed produce over the coming 10 - 50 years, will the "mental chilling (aka stupidity)" of today begin to dissipate.

In the meantime, enjoy the ride in the hummers of the republican party being driven by the most inept, most incompetent, worst president in US history - ie Bush and his team of thugs (Cheney, Rove, Rice, Rumsfield, Powell, Wolfowitz and Fox News)!

Answer 10

Here is a idea that has been ignored by Al Gore. We are actually going through a cycle and the ICE AGE is finally ending. To wit large amounts of ice has been melted of the plant. This has to do with a global weather cycle the earth cools and heats its self by the radiate light of the sun and other stars. We are merely moving to a place where our climate will be warmer possibly for millions of years.

That my theory we are not in a closed system and we are effected by all things around us.

Answer 11

Yes, if one researches historical climatic change, one may conclude that we are in the cycle of global warming.

The real issue is the recent acceleration of global warming and the evidence that suggests we, as a species, are the cause of this accelerated rate.

The difference between a skeptic and a fool is the skeptical one is one who researches the issue and honestly concludes the evidence does not necessarily support the assumption. A fool is one who is a skeptic without a valid premise for an argument.
