Why did liberals claim there was a cooling trend in the 70's and now they say there is Global Warming?

Question

Is it all just political?

Answer 1

It's all politics. The Liberal mascot is a waffle !

Answer 2

Carbon Dioxide levels have risen at such a rate that it is higher than ever before. There have been normal cooling and warming trends for a long time, but now, it is warmer than before and carbon dioxide levels are higher than before.

Scientists do not debate global warming; Of 1000 scientific articles examined, 0 said that global warming may not exist. Meanwhile, in the popular press, out of 1000 articles relating to global warming, 400 disputed it.

I am very tolerant, but when it comes to climate change, a nerve is struck. It is not political. If we do not soon do something to prevent global warming, our children will be asking us how it feels to be the generation that ruined the earth.

Answer 3

Well, the global climate is rising, but the debate is whether or not man caused it. I say that because the global climate has risen significantly in the past (so much so as to put an end to many ice ages) that this is simply another fluctuation, not caused by man in any way at all

Answer 4

There is a warming trend but experts are not convinced that just living on earth cases this problem ... they do blame fossil flues and i would be inclined to except that hypothesis... i don't think that politics plays much into it except for maybe for the benefit of AL Gore and his book and movie...

Answer 5

Because obviously there is a Global Warmig. But, on the other hand, political parties will use this issue to get votes.

Answer 6

Liberals don't 'claim' a cooling trend or global warming, professor.

No REAL scientist in the whole world disputes the Scientific findings that point to global warming. Really 'Global Climate change', they are surprised that it's developing as fast as it is.

This is all NEW. You see this hasn't happened on Earth EVER before.

What will probably happen is all you evil republicans will prevent anything from being done and we will cause the greatest mass extinction in world history.

Oh , I'm sorry we've already done that.

All I want for xmas is the extinction of the conservatives who voted for the retard in the Whitehouse!!!

Answer 7

funding and money... no more no less. as long as the scientists have a topic they can get federal funding. any scientist that speaks out saying there is no human cause for any of it they would be shunned by the scientific community because that would mean NO MONEY. They have gotten the in with the liberals just like the liberals say big oil has gotten in with the conservatives. its all the same just different players.

Answer 8

That's why President Bush signed the Kyto Agreement because it is all political?

Answer 9

That's similar to they saying they don't back the Iraq war, yet they keep approving the money to go over there! Or how they won't touch any hot topic issues while Bush is in office like: The immigration problem, social security or health care! They're gonna wait 2 years before addressing this stuff.

i always believed that we were responsible for global warming.(after my teachers had taught me in grade school we were headed for a 1000 year iceage)but now i use the critical thinking i was also taught in school to question this "theory"---that seems to have become a scientific law after an ex-v.p./internet inventor says so. We would have alot less co2 emissions if enviormentalists wouldnt have stopped nuclear power plants from being produced in the seventies- is one reason that i am sceptical on the policies they want to enact now.i consider myself a conservationist--im agaist polution-clear cutting,im for protecting whats left of the jungles,and recycling. i think the heat islands created by the pavement weve laid (can see it on weather maps ,its hotter in cities,and seems to affect where storms tract to me) has more to do with global warming than any thing we belch out.
one more thing the enviormentalist are pushing (seems assinine to me) is ethenol production. how much energy does it take to make it? deisel tractors to sow the land(shrinking wetlands),chemicals and lots of fresh water to make it grow,runoff into rivers killing fish increasing cancer rates(from fertilizer in water),contaminating ground water stores,increase feed cost for cattle -past onto consumers.thats just the politicions catering to farmers for a vote,for an energy source that doesnt put out the same energy- gallon per gallon-as gasoline. look at the links i put up i think those have much more to do with global weather trends than we could ever try to effect.
cfc yes bad,ddt ya bad,co2 emmisions in quantities that matter,show me more science.
