Yes...The amount of pollution expelled from all places like factories, cars, trains, and planes should have killed us 50 years ago. Energy from the sun travels to the earth warms us up and filtered energy goes back out into space. If that didn't happen we would have been dead thousands of years ago. Global warming is a theory that gasses are "trapped" in the earth and are not released back into space. That theory is similar to the idea of filling a small room with smoke and no ventilation. It's become a way to scare people. Paranoia wakes people up and makes people vote for democrats who even under Clinton did not do anything to help the environment. In fact the air and water is cleaner than it was during the American industrial revolution due to some simple common sense. Icebergs will break under stress. Climates will not be the same from year to year. Everybody panics when something is unusual and that's sad. When it is 90 degrees in Alaska this time of year then I will worry.

Definitely NOT!! This is one of the most abhorrent thinking I have ever come across! Global warming is a worldwide problem and would cause devastating effects on us humans..It is naive to believe that global warming is fake!!On top of it, in fact, we are progressing nearer and nearer to global warming and some people are still, ironically unaware of the changes in the Earth's climate..We are experiencing colder winters and hotter summers..There are reports to show for it as well...It is a trend that can be explained....If you didn't believe in Science, I think you should stop using the computer...Moreover, not all scientists are so money-minded- at least there are some who are really caring for the Earth!!

Of course not. The likely hood of that would be extremely small considering the problem scientists propose is one of the main causes of global warming: carbon. The plan to combat global warming is to have a carbon tax which encourages corporations and factories to limit carbon pollution into the air. This is not in any way beneficial to the scientists other than the knowledge that people are listening to them and that one day their children are to benefit from a world that's not covered by haze.

The current global warming trend is well documented and so not a lie.
The role of humans in the rate of global warming is not resolved as the production of CO2 by our burning of fossil fuel is miniscule compared to the production of CO2 by natural processes such as the rotting of vegetation.
Most scientists are objective in their research, but some may prematurely accept their "pet theories" before they are adequately substantiated. Those involved in research on global warming benefit from the scare through increased funding of their research. If the role of industry and carbon burning is found to be a negligible contributor to global warming, the research funding will sharply decrease.

No global warming is not a lie.
It is a fact supported by the data collected by scientists over the last hundred years.
Scientists do not use this phenomenon as a way to make money.
Afterall they are the guys who made things like nukes so why would they use something like global warming to make money?

No, I don't think so. Just look at the proof around you: the icecaps are melting-- FAST, animals that live near or in the icecaps or rely on them for shelter have been found dead in the oceans because they couldn't find land to live on, the past 10 years have set records for high temperatures, stronger hurricanes have been formed which is caused by the heat in the tropics and oceans, in my area the birds never migrated, and this winter hasn't been like a winter at all. Just yesterday the temperature in my area was 72 degrees. This is January for crying out loud! If you still don't believe me, try watching "An Inconvenient Truth." It's a movie about global warming and it's consequences.

Depends on what you mean by global warming. There might be evidence that there is some warming going on. However, I think the notion that we are the major cause of this (as Al Gore claims) and that the planet will reach its catastrophic end in 20 years if we don't support the lunatic environmental lobby is a lie.

Measures against global warming will harm oil companies. This harms the politicians that own the companies and get the tax revenues. Of course they are going to deny that global warming is even a possibility.

People need to realize that global warming is not simply warming up the earth surface and melting of the ice. It is a lot more than that.
Obviously, it is not a lie.
