Answer 1

in a way, yes, look who sponsors the studies. Lets say Exxon-Mobiole sponsors a tudy, they will undoubtedlt come up with a inconclusive study, but everyone knows all the green house gasses are not good for the earth, giv e me a break.

Answer 2

The facts discredit the whole thing. We can't even make it rain. Yes our cities show up warmer than surrounding countryside. and reducing pollutants is a good thing although not at ridiculous expense or self punishing ways such as Kyoto. Exempt China and India from major regulations of it? That's just plain stupid.

What caused the last ice age to start and then recede? And the one before that and so on. What causes the magnetic poles to switch approximately every 25,000 years?

Twenty years ago it was Ted Danson flapping his arms and jaw about the fish all dying. Yes there should be catch limits but we keep finding more new species.

Now it is Al Gore owning this as a political issue wanting his payoff in votes. There are paid experts on every issue. Take a look at any court case.

And now there is a new report saying that cow farts cause more global warming than all of our cars. How ridiculous does it have to get before people see this as a hand wringing sham? Conserve yes but don't get wacky on it.

Answer 3

People who understand what is actually taking place globally, don't need to be paid off.. To establish the point more dramatically, this is a cyclic event.. has happened many times in the past.. Greenland got its name because it was green.. not ice. They recently found grape vines there, brought by the vikings when they landed there 1,000 years ago.. and named the land Greenland because if was a verdant place to land.

Find out some facts before blindly following some people who have a defined agenda in mind with the global warming scare. Humans do not have that much effect on the planet.

Answer 4

The same way global warming "experts" manipulate media and data and a gullible congress and public to keep huge lucrative grants coming for their "research". Their livelihood depends on a lot of public concern and they work hard to keep people worried and confused about it.

Answer 5

Absolutely! There's a lot of money at stake in making sure the environment is trashed.
