Why does Yahoo lie and claim that virtually everyone believes global warming is a fact?

Question

I noticed this in the Featured Questions.

Global warming is NOT caused by man--it's a natural cycle. Why is it that Heidi Cullen wants global warming skeptics to be stripped of their AMS certification? If the truth is on your side, you shouldn't have to resort to such tactics!

Answer 1

the reason is liberal media bias..it real deadly and successfully got the pelosi/reid regieme in power fabricating a solution for iraq. you need to examine the liberal media bias with skepticism to find the real news and certainly dont believe everything you see.

Answer 2

Good on you! The global warm-mongers have now resorted to equating "global warming deniers" with the Holocaust deniers.

You can't take 100 or so years of detailed weather records and say we are now at a point where Earth is warmer than ever before. I mean, Greenland supported crops 1000 years ago under the Vikings and now it's too cold there for grass.

Don't forget the petrified forest in Canada's High Arctic (where trees can't survive the brutal cold of today) that tells of a much warmer climate in the past.

But the global warm-mongers won't let facts get in their way. Many of them seem to have an agenda along these lines: "The West got rich off of the Third World's back, so now the West has to pay them trillions of dollars to compensate them." The Kyoto Accord is one such mechanism.

Answer 3

I have asked many people to provide REAL evidence that humans are NOT the dominant cause in recent global warming trends...however, nobody can, has, or will because the evidence that humans are the dominant cause is overwhelming.

Asking questions like why did the last ice-age end, proves that you have little understanding of global climate

we are in fact STILL in an ice-age, it has NOT ended....we are currently in the interglacial period of that ice-age and is expected to be replaced with a glacial period...read up on the Earth's orbit around the sun and the axial tilt of the Earth, the tilt is currently decreasing!

Answer 4

You're exactly right!
People that can't prove their theory often resort to intimidation to silence their critics. Heidi and the global warming crowd are a perfect example. She's suppose to be presenting facts, but instead uses her program to promote 'fake' science!
Always ask, 'Why did the last Ice Age end?', and don't blame industrial gases.

Answer 5

Your claims that global warming are natural completely ignore the skyrocketing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. While we cannot say that mankind has called ALL of the global warming, we also can't say that mankind has caused NONE of it either. Since there is no way to perform a controlled experiment, the only reasonable approach is to assume we have control over the issue and cut greenhouse gas emissions in order to minimize the likelihood of catastrophe.

Answer 6

Yahoo never took sides. They reported the news. If you have evidence showing news bias then present it. What is not needed is a blanket generalization because a neutral medium presented something you disagreed with. After all;If the truth is on your side, you shouldn't have to resort to such tactics!

Answer 7

obviously your link was written by someone who doesn't have a clue, and thinks "warming" is going to occur everywhere equally.

even Al Gore says that isn't going to happen, and he isn't even a scientist.

it would be nice if you people who don't understand the concept would educate yourselves, so you can make up your own minds rather than relying on propoganda to do it for you.

if you read some of the links right above me, you will see the answers that your link says no one can answer, is answered and very thoroughly.

Cheers!

Answer 8

i'm no longer asserting it is happening or it is not happening. by using fact the Earth keeps changing, and it will proceed to alter until eventually the tip of time. differences are slow, nonetheless. And technically, we are in an Ice Age on each and every occasion there is ice at any of the poles. And the ice melts---on account this is the way of existence. in basic terms easy info that folk do no longer seem to comprehend.

Answer 9

natural cycles don't even compare to the situations we now face. mabe you should do as much research as everyone else rather than just believeing the first skeptic that comes along.
do you think it is possible that she wants people who are being paid to be skeptics to be stripped of their certification for trying to promote science that isn't based on experimentation and fact??
scientists who promote junk science, frequently do ruin their careers with such nonsense. what would you suggest for promoting lies that we have no effect on a finite environment??

Researchers have recovered a nearly two-mile-long cylinder of ice from eastern Antarctica that contains a record of atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane--two potent and ubiquitous greenhouse gases--spanning the last two glacial periods. Analysis of this core shows that current atmospheric concentrations of CO2--380 parts per million (ppm)--are 27 percent higher than the highest levels found in the last 650,000 years.

and what do they say?? an ice age comes every 11,000 years approximately? how many ice ages are in 650,00 years??

Concentrations of CO of 800 parts per million (ppm) can be lethal after three hours.


First of all, the results demonstrate clearly that the relationship between climate and CO2

Comparison of CO2 emissions from volcanoes vs. human activities.
Scientists have calculated that volcanoes emit between about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (Gerlach, 1999, 1992). This estimate includes both subaerial and submarine volcanoes, about in equal amounts. Emissions of CO2 by human activities, including fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring, amount to about 22 billion tonnes per year (24 billion tons) [ ( Marland, et al., 1998) . Human activities release more than 150 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes--the equivalent of nearly 17,000 additional volcanoes like Kilauea (Kilauea emits about 13.2 million tonnes/year)!


watch this:
http://www.amazon.com/inconvenient-truth...

assume that he is lying on everything he says, and research the claims yourself.
you'll find his only real mistatements, are:
1) implying that Lincoln freed the slaves based on moral obligation.

2) trying to predict how long it will be before we face consequences is quite impossible. the problems could come soon, or they could come a cnetury from now. it is pretty impossible to predict.

and
3) the CO2 concentrations will probably get us before global warming will.

Answer 10

Yea, I'm pretty sure it comes from man. Where do you think all of the exhaust from automobiles and heavy black smoke from industries/businesses go?

It goes right into the atmosphere. Then the carbon dioxide molecule kill off the ozone layer hence making it hotter. This process makes sense to me and I think you're just oblivious to what is really happening in the world.

Answer 11

Sorry, but it's no longer a question in the scientific community.

Yes, there are natural cycles that do cause some climate change, but not as drastic as what we're seeing now.

Anyone with half a brain can deduce this from the peer-reviewed research and evidence.

Sorry that you can't, but that doesn't make it a lie.
