Are people who talk about global warming full of hot air?

Question

Actually, I happen to believe that global warming is ocurring. Within the next 20 or 30 years Glacier National Park in Montana may be glacier free. Less than 200 years ago there were over 360 identified glaciers there. Polar bears have shorter feeding periods because the ice fields melt faster than they used to. Remember, a cold winter in the East Coast is an example of weather, not climate. Nanook of the North has been working on his tan for the last several years. He has traded in his caribou and seal lined parka for a Hawaiian shirt and Speedos.

Gobal warming fear mongerers looking for power? You may be right. We may all be looking for airconditioning power within the next 20 years.

Sorry Bean..... I mean Ben. Didn't mean to.

(Sorry to mess up your name..... guess I was still thinking about lunch)

And Gyorzxk....... I'm glad you are full of hot air. You inflate my ego with it daily! :) Who needs a bicycle pump when I have you.

Answer 2

Global warming is at the fore front because politicians found how to use a new platform to get re-elected. The world leadersuse it because they found ways to make money at it. This is a made up problem just like Global Cooling in the 1970's. Wake up people. I agree we need to be more efficient with our resources, and we should fine and jail companies who are dumping into our rivers maliciously. I want to stop the raiforest destruction, but to say that global warming is a serious man made issue and we need to destroy the American economy and bow down to the rest of the world certainly does not float my boat. Follow the money on this one and you will see that it is all for political gain and grant money for those scientists who profit off of the government if global warming stays at the front of the issues. Look deep into the Keoto (sp?) Treaty, first of all they took jets to a non-central resort location. Not very environmentally concious. THen in the parameters of the treaty they have a clause that makes it so you can buy or sell polution credits. This is all about shifting wealth and breaking down the United States. This is painfully obvious, just look at peoples agenda. The earth's mean temperature has risen .6 degrees C in the past 125 years. Greenland's icecaps have gotten colder in the past 10 years. The Scientists who do not gain anything on their posisition will tell you that the earth has a natural progression and this is what we are seeing. The UN report is made up of POLITICIANS not a good spread of scientists. THere are as many or more scientists who believe that man in NOT the reason and it is over hyped, but their voice is not heard in the LIberal Mainstream Media. This issue is 99% political, and an attempt to make the USA a socialist nation, and eventually communisim. WAKE UP AMERICA, IT IS TIME TO BE AMERICANS. FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. STOP THE LIES

Matt the Strong cites Richard Lindzen.
Here is what the Boston Globe has to say about their native son:

"I decided to check out Lindzen for myself. He wasn't hard to find on the 16th floor of MIT's I.M. Pei-designed Building 54, and he answered as many questions as I had time to ask. He's no big fan of Gore's, having suffered through what he calls a ``Star Chamber" Congressional inquisition by the then senator . He said he accepted $10,000 in expenses and expert witness fees from fossil- fuel types in the 1990s"

"Lindzen acknowledges that global warming is real, and he acknowledges that increased carbon emissions might be causing the warming."

Answer 4

So, if you talk about a local cold winter on the East Coast, it's weather and not substantial to global warming. However, you can talk about Glacier National Park and how it's losing glaciers, which I consider as local a phenomenon as the freezing weather we've been having in NJ. You can't have both. Why not talk about glacial budgets, and the fact that accurate data doesn't exist showing a retreat or advance for any years, and some of the data points to the probability that glacial advances have been happening for several years?

Global Warming is something we can all work to prevent and something we are all the cause of. If anyone is curious I recommend Al Gore's DVD "An Inconvenient Truth". You can also visit the following sites:
