I am a hardcore Conservative, but I am giving a second thought to Global Warming... How about you ???

Answer 1

Not necessarily. Just remember the global cooling pandemic in the 1970s by the same tree-hugging hippies. In a few years, it was back to normal. Arrrghhhh!! We're all going to freeze to death...NEVERMIND. In ten years, these people will be the fools of the decade.

Back in the early 1900s, we had a major heat wave in which the records still stand to this day. Check the weather records for the midwest and the south. Was that due to people driving SUVs and industrialization?

Maybe this is all caused by Ted Kennedy belching his drunk *** off every night. The man does have alot of hot air.

Answer 2

The evidence is pretty overwhelming. And nearly all scientists who study it agree that it is real and humans contribute to it. The ones who disagree are usually from a business with an interest in the matter or a conservative think tank. There is no doubt that greenhouse gases get trapped in the atmosphere, there is no doubt that that the level of greenhouse gases getting trapped has risen dramatically and that humans are the source of this, there is no doubt that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have a heating effect on the earth, and there is no longer doubt that the earth's temperature has risen. All of these statements are proven. The only question is what degree the increase in the earth's temp. is caused by human activities. On this most scientists say that humans are a major factor, but even if you don't believe them, the proven statements, when taken together, paint a pretty clear picture.

I'm happy that you are giving it a second thought.

Answer 3

Global warming is a big blue lie.

even if it was a little bit true all I would do is turn up the Airconditioning in my Escalade.

Science says 1 degree in a 1000 years There blue liars. 1000 years ago there were no thermometers.

I say crank it up I got me a contract making a small part for the Military the money is great and my business is better than ever.

Anyone in their right mind can get a government contract making weapons parts. The Redpublican party will hook you up with a contract.

Go big Red Go

Answer 4

Isn't it obvious?? Just since the whole world started to become more industrialized the world has changed in climate dramatically... although a degree or two doesn't sound dramatic it is when you are talking about all those glaciers melting causing worldwide flooding! I am always for global warming and believe in it to the fullest! go to stopglobalwarming.org not o nly can you calculate how much carbon dioxide you emit into the air.. it will calculate how much you can stop going into the air and how much you will save for doing this!

Everything has a consequence so why can't the burning of fossil fuels cause global warming??

Answer 5

Global warming is a scientific fact, and even if manmade air pollution isn't the only factor contibuting to it, it's a huge one that we can control. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to act before it's too late.

Even if there were no such thing as global warming, how can people ignore the other harm air pollution does? Everyone knows that if you sit in a closed garage with a car running, you'll die, and that's just one car. Why don't people realize that the millions of cars on gridlocked freeways are making the air iin our major cities almost as unhealthy as the air in that garage? Even if the wind blows the fumes away, they don't disapear; they just go somewhere else and affect more people's health. The only thing that can absorb the toxins and replenish the oxygen in the air is a forest, and they're being cut down at an alarming rate. As Agent Smith said in "The Matrix", humanity has become like a virus, consuming its host and moving on. We need to stop harming our planet and learn to live in harmony with it before there's nothing left to save.

Answer 6

I'm always giving a second look at this issue... and I still remain skeptical that we are having that major an impact on such a large, complex, dynamic & cyclical a system as the Earth's climate.

It's interesting to note that the climatologist themselves have been backpedaling a bit, and warning that news reporting of "catastrophic" changes are a bit "sensationalistic", and rather than talking about temps going up as much as 11 degrees C are talking 3 to 5 C; serious to be sure, severe even, but not catastrophic.*

And, by the way, those increases would lead to temps that are still within normal ranges for the planet.**

One more thing: this should never been cast as a political, 'liberal vs. conservative' issue; it is a question of what does the science actually support, vs conjecture & opinion... and scientific inquiry is supposed to be skeptical.

Answer 7

i am not sure about global warming and i'm not a conservative.

but i see no reason to take unnecessary chances... if we are affecting the climate, we are the ones who will have to live with it, so maybe we should check and make sure it's ok to pee in the pool before we just decide it's too far to run to the bathroom.

here's something i keep noticing: if secondhand smoke is dangerous enough to worry about, why do we write off car exhaust so easily? air travel and freeways are really kind of like giant experiments we've been running on the earth... and we've only sort of started looking at it. it might not be as bad as we think or it might be worse... but we should probably not just ignore our activities or assume they're ok, because then we'll definitely be surprised if/when it suddenly bites us in the ***. what will we say? oops? tell you what... who do you think the insurance company worries about more... the fat dude, the smoker or the fitness nut?

Answer 8

i am pretty liberal and i think the issue of global warming should not be a conservative or liberal political matter, but rather an issue of whether or not there is good science to back the global warming claim. i guess another question should be 'why does it seem like many conservatives have such little faith in science?'

Answer 9

What does being a hardcore conservative have to do with believing in global warming or not?

I'm a conservative......... global warming is a myth and I don't buy into it.

Answer 10

Move to Maine!!! I lived there for 18 months... it snowed from October to March. It was still cold and rainy during April, May, June & September. It was comfortably warm in July, and summertime hot only in the beginning of August. The longest stretch without rain was a 3 week period during the last week of July & the first two weeks of August. I thought an ice age was beginning!
