What types of people are against the concept of global warming?

Answer 1

People who can differentiate between science fiction and science fact. People who follow the scientific method not scientific consensus. If you're a believer in the "scientific consensus" of global warming then join their for-fathers. The consensus of the sun circling the earth, the earth being flat, man not being able to fly, etc. It's a long and storied list of the ignorant and the woefully misinformed. Global Warming is a socialist political agenda that is based on using an out of control legal system and junk science to break down capitalism and our way of life. Remember that it's actually the "Theory" of global warming based on a computer model that is completely inaccurate. What type of people are against the 'concept' of global warming? Those that have minds.

Answer 2

People who have seen environmental issues pushed too hard before.

People who don't like international collective programs.

People who have a financial interest at stake.

People who would rather deny global warming tha face the hard work needed to fix it.

As these people see people they respect acknowledge global warming, people like them, some will change their mind.. There will be some diehards.

"The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now."

James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.

"The overwhelming majority of atmospheric scientists around the world and our own National Academy of Sciences are in essential agreement on the facts of global warming and the significant contribution of human activity to that trend."

Russell E. Train, former environmental official under Presidents Nixon and Ford

"Our nation has both an obligation and self-interest in facing head-on the serious environmental, economic and national security threat posed by global warming."

John McCain, Republican, Senator, Arizona

"These technologies will help us become better stewards of the environment - and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change."

President George Bush

To the man who posted stuff about religious values above:

Evangelical Christians believe it's real and caused by man:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,243801,00.html?sPage=fnc.science/naturalscience

"n February 2006, 86 evangelical leaders signed a statement to fight global warming, saying that human-induced climate change is real, that its consequences will hit the poor the hardest, and that Christian moral convictions demand an urgent response."

Answer 3

People who knows that this a cyclic event that has occurred thousand years ago, even when no pollution was present, and people who knows that the earth is an ever changing and renewing planet.

Answer 4

mostly, intelligent. i have 2 degrees, chemistry and nursing, with minors in math, physics, computer programming and electronic engineering, and have studied conservation extensively. 20 years ago the same sociopaths that are now playing upon your neurotic fears with warming were crying that an ice age was coming. It is all just a part of the politics of the very sick religion of liberalism.

Answer 5

Those who have been around long enough to smell BS and those scientists willing to think issues out instead of following the crowd like a flock of sheep.

Answer 6

Oil companies, chemical companies, people who are afraid, people who are afraid of giving up their oil and chemicals, people who are afraid of change, people who hate anyone with certain political affiliations, belief systems, etc to the extreme of mislabling them liars for the sake of argument. People who like to argue. People who are afraid of, don't understand, haven't studied and don't believe in science. People who think global warming is about their local weather...so if they see it cold and snowing they can't believe the overall temperature of the earth is warmer and that glaciers are melting. Also people who don't believe humans caused it and ad hominem argument therefore don't believe it's real at all. And conspiracy theorists. Hope I didn't leave anyone out.

Answer 7

People who REALLY think about the issues, beyond the hysteria put before you on tv and "scientific research" articles. Keep reading for some real information. God Bless you.


Global Warming Catastrophe Debunked By Scientists On Fox Special
By Rev. Louis P. Sheldon
Chairman, Traditional Values Coalition

May 23, 2006 - Fox News reporter David Asman hosted an important investigative report on Sunday evening entitled, “Global Warming: The Debate Continues.” This latest report was a counterpoint to a Fox feature that aired last November on the same topic. Asman’s report featured numerous scientists and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) who chairs the U.S. Senate Committee On Environment and Public Works.

All of those interviewed for this show were skeptical of the claims made by former Vice President Al Gore and radical environmental activists on the causes, extent and potential damage that global warming might cause to the future of our planet.

Much of the hysteria generated by Gore and his cronies in Hollywood about global warming causing melting icecaps or the flooding of coastal cities, is unsupported by scientific data, according to meteorologists and climatologists who were interviewed for Asman’s special. In fact, many of the same environmentalists in the 1970s who were screaming about pollution bringing about a new ice age, are now claiming just the opposite with their dire warnings about global warming. They were wrong then; they are wrong now.

Those scientific experts who were interviewed by Asman pointed out that the computer models used by Al Gore and other environmental activists to predict future world flooding, etc., are notoriously unreliable. These models fail to take into account the extraordinarily complex nature of the environment. Two of the scientists interviewed by Asman said that activity on the sun may be a major factor that is overlooked by the Chicken Little environmentalists.

Radicals like Al Gore typically look at the worst-case scenarios—and those are based on flawed computer models—that fail to take into account future scientific breakthroughs. Gore and his cronies also ignore the current efforts being made by the Bush Administration to encourage such technology as energy plants that convert coal into gas—or technology that converts grains into low emission fuels.

Senator James Inhofe has called the claim that global warming is a man-made problem, as “the world’s greatest hoax.” I am convinced he is correct—and many reputable scientists agree with him.

Former surgeon and best-selling author Michael Crichton wrote “State of Fear” in 2004 to expose the radical environmental movement and its wildly inaccurate claims about future ecological disasters being caused by global warming. Crichton researched the environmental issue for three years before he began writing this book—and wrote a devastating critique of environmentalism in his author’s message in “State of Fear.” Crichton observed: “Nobody knows how much warming will occur in the next century. The computer models vary by 400%, de facto proof that nobody knows. … We can’t ‘assess’ the future, nor can we ‘predict’ it. These are euphemisms. We can only guess. An informed guess is just a guess.”

So, the next time Al Gore gives a speech about man-made global warming, melting ice caps, and flooded coastal cities, keep in mind that he’s just guessing—and basing his wild opinions on the worst case scenarios developed by unreliable computer models. (And, remember that this is Hollywood’s pick for the presidential run in 2008.)

Al Gore has a history of making statements that are unsupported by the facts. Entire web sites have been developed to chronicle Gore’s misstatements, including one published by National Review magazine several years ago. This is hardly a man who could be trusted with our national defense or environment if he became president.

Free thinkers who aren't swayed by consensus.
