Can all the people who deny global warming start saving money for its costs?

Question

Since so many people deny that global warming exists:

If this turns out to be right, can all of us who know global warming exists make you pay for the cost. By denying it, you are hurting our ability to correct it and stop what will cost us a lot. So if you turn out to be wrong, who will pay for it?

What would we do to stop it? Maybe stop emitting so much greenhouse gases. Lets be honest and say we could, as a country, be more efficient with our energy usage and emissions.

Answer 1

money is false. we will all pay for it...

Answer 2

We've spent years and years and billions and billions of dollars to "fix" global warming. With the money this country has spent on trying to "fix the problem" we could've taken care of every poor person in America.

I believe global warming exists to some extent, I just don't buy the theory that "it's all our fault." World history has shown that the climate has changed on the Earth for unknown reasons in the past and that's what we could be living through. I think it's very important to make sure that companies aren't destroying the water or the air and everyone should be taught about environmental responsibility, but there are much better things we could be spening all this money on.

Answer 3

Global warming is not caused by emissions. Global warming is caused by nature. When Mt. St. Helen erupted in 1981 it produced more emissions than what man has put into the environment in all recorded history. People that deny global warming are scientists, politicians, and every day joes like me that know when people are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Global warming might be happening on a small scale, but to say that we humans are responsible for it is giving us too much credit. Research it for yourself and do not be biased and you will find out what is really happening. Besides you can't make anyone pay for something that happens on a world wide scale. Funny question.

Answer 4

I don't deny it, I just don't think that the sky is falling. You're probably way too young to know this, but in the 70s, the scientific community was all up in arms about the coming of the next ice age, and we were all going to freeze to death. Is the earth warming? Of course - that's easily provable. Does man have an impact on the environment? Certainly. Does that mean that the "evil" United States is solely responsible for global warming? Of course not. How much of this is man-made and how much is just the earth's natural cycle?

Answer 5

RIDLEY has hit it on the nose!! Don't be duped by the leftist propaganda that is put out on global warming, especially the U.N. Most scientists, in fact, minimize the amount of global warming that is actually happening, and more minimize the effect it will have on our lives. Are you aware of the fact that in some areas of the world it will actually be a benefit? 900 years ago the world was so warm they were growing strawberries in Iceland (and they didn't have greenhouses!!). 20,000 years ago New York was under about a mile of ice. So do your own research and your own thinking!!

Answer 6

When you show me someone who can change the earth's rotation (rate or axis), the solar orbital characteristics, or the intensity of solar radiation --- all of which have millions of times more affect on the Earth's climate --- then I might consider that we humans can cause global warming.

The best weather guesser in the world couldn't accurately predict temperature will be next Tuesday in Topeka with the same accuracy that they claim to know that the earth will be in 10 years from now.

Ask one of them what the climatic affects were from the 2004 Indonesian earthquake, or Mt St Helens.

The smartest people on the planet (e.g. Al Gore) should know that the least accurate method of predicting future results is to extrapolate --- yet that is all they ever do.

Answer 7

Sue me. Let me guess, you live in the forest and subsist as a hunter gather and run around naked. You eat only raw food and never exhale. The truth is, you probably drive a car, have a house full of electrical gagetry and do a million other things that produce greenhouse gases. When you stop making CO2, I'll think about stopping, jerk!

Answer 8

If that's how you want to live, be my guest. I think it's a farce. Worse, global warming is the poster child of the left's anti-capitalism.

Speaking of cost, if you have a 401K or a mortgage, maybe you should study how much all this junk science--and other leftist assaults on profit and progress (slave reparations, Americans with Disabilities Act, affirmative action, unions, government growth, et al)-- is costing the companies that you rely on to fund your retirement.

Answer 9

In 1975 it was global cooling now it is global warming.The truth is weather changes and it changes rapidly (whole mammoths frozen upright with fresh flowers in their mouths).The evidence is not good enough to commit economical suicide.Why don't you look into the research on the weakening magnetic field and how that effects weather patterns.The magnetic field of the planet weakens just before the poles flip and we are way overdue for such a flip.

Answer 10

They don't deny there is global warming, they argue about what is causing it. If it not caused by emissions, then what? Have we wasted money that could have been invested to find out the root cause without a doubt? Have we silenced good solid scientists, because we thought we already knew the answer? The politicizing of science should be a crime.

Answer 11

The Ice Age is Coming.
Instead of taking time to ask this question, you could have went out and planted a tree.
Really do something.
