Is global warming real or propaganda/ just a political tatic?

Question

is it just conservative vs liberal issue.
Our we really that significant in this universe??

Answer 1

Real.

Answer 2

Global warming is real - the globe has been warming and cooling for eons. The debate over the cause is a political tactic. 17,000 climatologists signed a petition against the Kyoto Accords because they believe the evidence does not show human activity to be causing global warming. Alarmists are using Global Warming to control people and reverse freedoms. Here are some facts to consider:

1. We are 500 years overdue for the beginning of a new ice age.

2. Global warming has happened in the distant past just before a new ice age.

3. (Not a fact but opinion) If we're headed for a new ice age, maybe we better hope that we can make the climate warmer or else a lot of people will die from lack of food and cold climate changes.

Answer 3

I watched the Channel 4 programme (sceptical), and became uncertain, so i keen to check out. I examine the document(s) on Intergovernmental Panel climate replace, the strict document, and an complete load of alternative stuff. I also observed the Al Gore movie (An Inconvenient actuality). the area of the international warming and cooling in 2 hundred or 3000 years cycles is truly obviously and properly dealt with in those comments, and the present style in CO2 and warming is a procedures out of kilter with those cycles. The sceptics who say the present warming is with the aid of sunlight interest ignore about some needed evidence: satellites were tracking this for 30 or 40 years, and detected no replace. the final analysis is that the technological expertise is truly, very strong - a procedures more advantageous than the likes of George Bush would have you ever believe. And the scientists engaged on the IPCC are drawn from around the realm, includng China, India and a bunch of alternative international locations that would want to enhance. i'm not an environmentalist, I in simple terms had to carry close the actuality. Its not propaganda - a number of the outcomes will be guesswork, even if the underlying technological expertise is particular, thorough and extremely persuasive.

Answer 4

I can't hope to know very much from direct first hand observation, especially when the answer requires advanced technical skill and thousands of man-hours of measurement and study.

If I have a legal question I ask a lawyer, a medical question I seek the advice of a doctor.

If I want to know whether or not global warming is real I would not look to politicians or financiers. I would go find out what the scientists have to say on the subject.

In fact, that's what I did... and the overwhelming majority of them (way over 9 out of 10) say that not only is global warming real, but that we have very little time in which to delay or stop it before it's too late.

Don't accept my inadequate opinion. Go out there on the Internet and find out what the word on the scientific street really is.

Answer 5

I do not believe there is such thing as global warming. I think it's a big scare issue like what telephone wires causing cancer in DC was. It's just a lot of BS. These are natural cycles that the Earth goes through.

Besides that, we have only been able to accurately measure temperature for about 150 years, that is not near long enough to make an accurate analysis as to whether this is a threat.

I think people like Al Gore use global warming as a political issue, yes.

Answer 6

Do you put on a seatbelt when you drive? Of course you do. Why? Though the chances of you actually being in an accident are quite small, you take precautions so that if you ARE involved in an accident, you don't get thrown about the cabin or through the windshield! My arguement is that it does not matter if global warming is real or not! (Though there is not ONE legitimate peer-reviewed scientific study EVER that says global-warming is false.) I think that even if there's a small chance it is real, that we take precautions to make sure the earth is viable for generations to come. After all, there is not business on a dead planet.

Answer 7

Let's just say there is a lot of money to be made through government funding of studies,and that liberals like throwing the money in that direction more then conservatives.
The weather changes this way every so often (hundreds or thousands of years).
A generation ago the tree huggers swore the Earth would freeze.When that didn't happened they suddenly decided their studies proved we'd all burn.
One study showed cow farts are more polluting then all the cars in the world!
And if they beat the idea into peoples heads enough they'll believe it.

Answer 8

The Earth goes through cycles of heat and cold. There were warmer than average climates long before the Industrial Revolution. There may be global warming, but there is not significant proof that it is all man made. If by chance we mess with a natural cycle we may do more harm than good.

Answer 9

It is not a matter of dispute among scientists, except for a few who are prostitutes foir the oil industry. Global warming is REAL. The question is, how much does consumption of fossil fuel contribute to it? I wish conservatives wouldn't bury their heads in the sand about this, or delude themselves that it's just a liberal plot. They are so motivated by the desire to avoid making a few changes in our lifestyle that might be a little inconvenient that they'd let the world become uninhabitable in the long term.

Answer 10

From what I've read the earth is actually warming a bit. The kicker is that this happens cyclically. The earth warms, the earth cools etc. We didn't cause the ice age and we aren't causing a drastic in temp either.
Are politicians using this to their advantage - yes. they use nearly everything this way.
Personally I'm not chuffed either way.

Answer 11

there is no debate among the scientific community that global warming is a major issue that needs to be addressed. I think there are certain politicians out there with no real knowledge of science who would like people to look beyond this issue in order to advance their own political agenda.
