Don't worry, let them believe what they want to believe. And the thing is we are in a state of Global Warming, but it's a natural evolution (and maybe helped along by humans blowing a lot of hot air gripping about Global Warming).
I've heard all the claims, but the thing I look to myself as a citizen of the world is the seasons. And it does appear that winters here in Minnesota have been getting milder. But in Canada they still have major cold streaks.
Also people point out that the Glaciers in Glacier National park have been melting. Well of course they are melting. They have been melting since the Ice Age let go of it's grip on the world.
I strongly believe we have major season changes that change every few hundred years along with our Twelve month cyclical seasonal changes.
I have read all three of the books by Brian Aldiss, "Heliconia Spring", "Heliconia Summer", Heliconia Winter": And they really made me think about our own climatic shifts. We don't have two suns, but I do feel we have climatic cycles.
During the time of the dinosaurs our planet was tropical, then we went into a major ice age that covered a good portion of the earth. Now we are melting from that Ice Age. Will we become an all tropical planet again someday? Time will tell, but to think it's all gloom and doom because of these climatic changes is just plane silliness. Move away from the coast line if you think it will get flooded. But I highly doubt our planet will reach temperatures like it did in those books, because we don't have two suns.
Edit: Jade do you live in Northern Minnesota? Since it's still quite mild and warm down here to the South.

Why is there such denial among Americans on global warming.? Fortunately this is not all Americans but the current administration supporters ! Is cheap fuel and big cars more important than the future our children...?. I'm not sure what percentage of scientist believe in global warming only to say a
majority do...? You don't have to be a liberal to be concern about the future of our world !

If you are American and voting age, you must have voted for Bush -- twice.
Benjamin Disreli said it best: "There are liars, damned liars, and statistics."
98% of the select pool the statistics were pulled from could believe in global warming, just as you could take scientists supporting Bush who would still claim global warming is a myth for 98% who think global warming doesn't exist.

user-friendly - it suits their time table. Its works for what ever their far accomplishing targets are - regardless of they'd be. for many run of the mill liberals they even have self assurance it by using fact for the main area their hearts are interior the superb place. they are worried for the destiny. yet undergo in techniques that the weak spot with maximum liberals is they have a tendancy to have self assurance that "the ends justifies the potential". for this reason they in no way extremely get forward by using fact their technique and loose standards constantly foul them up whether their arguments are superb. a pair of years in the past the craze substitute into worldwide Cooling - now its worldwide Warming. i think of that for each scientist that believes in it you in all possibility have yet another that would not. no longer all can communicate out however as their delivers of positions would properly be put in jeopardy as they do tend to function for the main area in an exceedingly liberal college ecosystem. the priority with the full debate is the small sampling of archives. whilst regarded at on the full background of the planet there is not any longer adequate archives. we've been fluctuating in all places. they'd't even assume in the present day's climate with any fact. Are many of their arguments taken singly factors of rivalry - for specific! yet whilst they mixture them is the tip valid? possibly yet their predictions shop popping out incorrect - there a purely way too many variables. This year substitute into meant to be a brutal typhoon season like final year by using fact of world warming - they have been incorrect. So now they are saying next year's would be extremely undesirable. it might yet nonetheless it won't. they're going to ultimately be suitable however and supply a huge I advised you so. there is numerous argument on the two factors yet neither ingredient will verify out the different factors factors - they only ignore approximately one yet another. possibly they are the two suitable or the two incorrect. Open minds are mandatory no longer those with preconcieved recommendations.

I thought I already answered this question, but here it is again.
There are a few things that I have learned that liberals do. They lie very well and they always take things out of context. If you don't believe me, just study Michael Moore, the leader.
Scientists (my sister IS one) don't collectively think one thing or another, but there are many theories. Everything is a theory until proven as a fact.
Fact: The earth appears to be having a warm cycle
Fact: The earth has had cold cycles (ice ages and mini ice ages)
Fact: The polar ice is melting on mars as well
Fact: There is a hole in the OZONE layer of our atmosphere
Fact: The earth has been going through cycles of warm and cold for thousands of years.
My theory is that no matter what we do here on earth, there will continue to be natural disasters such as comets and volcanoes that will continue to affect the ozone layer. We will also continue to have cycles of cold and warm.
I hope that global warming hurries up, because it's mighty cold here in Minnesota!

Global warming is an established fact, completely separate from politics. That the beauty of science--it establishes things based on observed, measured phenomena.

OK, it's only 97%.
And without that extra percentage point...who in their right mind would believe there's such a thing as Global warming? I mean, if sticking your head out the door isn't enough?

In their humanist's philosophy, the ends justify the means. It's OK to lie if you're doing it for a good cause. The problem with relative ethics is things like the Holocaust take place when you begin to slip and compromise. The USA is, unfortunately, is on its way down because we silent majority have gone to sleep , while the humanists have taken control of education, politics and even to some degree, organized religion.

Because you must be that slim .2% of people that don't believe in it. Oh by the way, I'm sure you work for the oil industry.

You asked virtually the same exact question a few minutes ago. I asked you to name one that didn't believe in it. You didn't respond, you just repeated the question. I guess that means you couldn't come up with a name.
