Why do right-wingers hate Global Warming?

Question

I really hate Al Gore.

It's not because he's not talking about an important topic. Global warming is incredibly important. Everyone in the scientific community agrees on this.

Why I hate Al Gore is that, ever since he started champoning the cause, Right Wingers have decided to write it off as a "liberal cause."

Now I'm aware that most people with strong political views are close-minded. This has been the case since the dawn of politics itself.

But come on guys! Global warming exists. It's proven. We know it's true, and deep down in your heart you MUST know it's true too. Just because a liberal took up the cause doesn't mean it's a liberal cause. This isn't abortion or immigration, and it's not open to interpretation. It is what it is! You can't slander it away!
Furthermore, I hate the fact that I'm branded a liberal because I believe in progressive social and scientific thought. That doesn't make me a socialist, and it doesn't make me a Godless heathen!

First answers proves my point exactly.

If I'm a liberal, the only reason is because I was pushed to be. And the Republicans wonder why they lost so horribly in 2006- it's because they excluded the moderate, sensible voter from their ranks.

Not to go on, but I'm actually quite upset at the fact that there are honestly people in the world that believe that just because I believe in Global Warming that should brand my entire political affiliation.

Answer 1

Right Wingers don't hate global warming, left wingers do that. Right wingers don't believe that it's important. I'm a sorta middle of the road guy, but I think that most of this global warming is just part of the natural cycle and we're coming to the end of the last ice age, which was delayed when that comet hit the Gulf of Mexico about 12,000 years ago. I live about a half mile from the Beach in South Florida and I'm seriously thinking about moving a bit more North and inland. You may see Florida coming to an abrupt end just South of Ocala.

Answer 2

I think lots of right winger agree with Global warming, but are not sure whether it is man made. Even scientists aren't sure. But either way, let's assume it is man-made. What could we do about it anyway when China is spitting out more greenhouse gases than any other nation? I don't think a war with China would be prudent, nor do I think China is about to compromise on it's industrial solution. Even if the USA cuts back 20% as per the state of the union, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Answer 3

A person can't hate something that does not exist.
'Global Warming' is just a bugbear that is being used to excuse the raising of taxes and to allow the U.N. to have more (unauthorized) power in the U.S.

This planet's average temperature cycles around the freezing point of water. Right now, we just happen to be in an upswing in the variations within the cycle. If you want this warming trend to stop, just wait a few years. After the cycle peaks, we will be in the downswing and the 'chicken littles' will be yelling about "global cooling" ... again, just like they were about 15 years ago.

Answer 4

"that's the "reality" because it stands now. I quote reality, using fact technology is in comparison to faith. technology is continuously being as much as date with new theories and information. those theories have stood the attempt of time for some years if not thousands of years. " You contradicted your guy or woman declare. besides, as we communicate's scientific information is day after today's laughable theory credited to primitive neanderthalls. delight on your "reality" that modifications with the kind on the procuring department stores, dingus.

Answer 5

It's not proven. Just because liberals like you only focus on the chicken little pro-global warming pinkos doesn't mean you have a consensus.

There are HUNDREDS of climatologists that disagree with the man-made global warming hypothesis.

Answer 6

This stuff was copied from the Neal Boortz (boortz.com/nuze/index.html, 02/02/07) website. I think it pretty much covers it.


WHY AM I SKEPTICAL ABOUT MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING?

A 21-page report from something called the "Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change" has been released today...in Paris, no less...and as expected, it's predictions are dire. According to the report: "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level." Yeah right...we've heard all this before.

But the biggest bombshell here is this one: no matter what we do, global warming will not be reversed. It will go on for centuries, according to this report. The sea levels will continue to rise as polar ice caps melt. So I guess if Al Gore wins his Nobel Peace Prize, we'll still experience global warming. So much for riding to work everyday in your hybrid car...it's not doing a thing. The situation is futile, according to this report.

But really, it makes sense that the global warming crowd would come to this conclusion. After all, global warming is a religion. The anti-capitalist enviro-nazis don't ever want the problem to be solved. After all, if global warming were to be solved tomorrow, what would they blame the United States for? They'd have to find some other reason.

Sorry .. I'm still a skeptic. In no particular order here are just a few of the reasons why I'm not buying this man-made global warming scare:

* The United Nations is anti-American and anti-Capitalist. In short .. I don't trust them. Not a bit. The UN would eagerly engage in any enterprise that would weaken capitalist economies around the world.

* Because after the fall of the Soviet Union and worldwide Communism many in the anti-capitalist movement moved to the environmental movement to continue pursuing their anti-free enterprise goals. Many of the loudest proponents of man-made global warming today are confirmed anti-capitalists.

* Because the sun is warmer .. and all of these scientists don't seem to be willing to credit a warmer sun with any of the blame for global warming.

* The polar ice caps on Mars are melting. How did our CO2 emissions get all the way to Mars?

* It was warmer in the 1930s across the globe than it is right now.

* It wasn't all that long ago that these very same scientists were warning us about "global cooling" and another approaching ice age?

* How much has the earth warmed up in the last 100 years? One degree. Now that's frightening.
* Because that famous "hockey stick" graph that purports to show a sudden warming of the earth in the last few decades is a fraud. It ignored previous warming periods ... left them off the graph altogether.

* The infamous Kyoto accords exempt some of the world's biggest CO2 polluters, including China and India.

* The Kyoto accords can easily be seen as nothing less than an attempt to hamstring the world's dominant capitalist economies.

* Because many of these scientists who are sounding the global warming scare depend on grant money for their livelihood, and they know the grant money dries up when they stop preaching the global warming sermon.

* Because global warming "activists" and scientists seek to punish those who have different viewpoints. If you are sure of your science you have no need to shout down or seek to punish those who disagree.

* What happened to the Medieval Warm Period? In 1996 the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a chart showing climatic change over a period of 1000 years. This graph showed a Medieval warming period in which global temperatures were higher than they are today. In 2001 the IPCC issued another 1000 year graph in which the Medieval warming period was missing. Why?

* Why has one scientist promoting the cause of man-made global warming been quoted as saying "we have to get rid of the medieval warming period?"

* Why is the ice cap on the Antarctic getting thicker if the earth is getting warmer?

* In the United State, the one country with the most accurate temperature measuring and reporting records, temperatures have risen by 0.3 degrees centigrade over the past 100 years. The UN estimate is twice that.

* There are about 160,000 glaciers around the world. Most have never been visited or measured by man. The great majority of these glaciers are growing, not melting.

* Side-looking radar interferometry shows that the ise mass in the West Antarctic is growing at a rate of over 26 gigatons a year. This reverses a melting trend that had persisted for the previous 6,000 years.

* Rising sea levels? The sea levels have been rising since the last ice age ended. That was 12,000 years ago. Estimates are that in that time the sea level has risen by over 300 feet. The rise in our sea levels has been going on long before man started creating anything but natural CO2 emissions.

* Like Antarctica, the interior of Greenland is gaining ice mass.

* Over the past 3,000 years there have been five different extended periods when the earth was measurably warmer than it is today.

* During the last 20 years -- a period of the highest carbon dioxide levels -- global temperatures have actually decreased. That's right ... decreased.

* Why did a reporter from National Public Radio refuse to interview David Deming, an associate professor at the University of Oklahoma studying global warming, after his testimony to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee unless Deming would state that global warming was being caused by man?

* Why are global warming proponents insisting that the matter is settled and that no further scientific research is needed? Why are they afraid of additional information?

* On July 24, 1974 Time Magazine published an article entitled "Another Ice Age?" Here's the first paragraph:

"As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age."

Hey ... I could go on. There's much more where that came from. But I need to get ready to go on the air. Just know that many of the strongest proponents of this "man-made" global warming stuff are dedicated opponents to capitalism and don't feel all that warm and fuzzy about the United States.

Answer 7

If it is real, I like it...I hate cold weather...
