i strongly disagree with al gore!!! dose anybody else think man is not causing global warrming?????

Question

bring on the negative responses

bring on the negative responses



ive seen his movie and understood the facts, but i am not just one sided and belive the first thing i hear from some wackjob. I researched all the facts and look at the charts before he, lets say adjusted them to his licking, and ive seen ALL the data and WHERE it came from and how he onley used the data that he wanted to use and must of forgot to tell me that it was only warrming in the northern himisphere. Last time i check the other half of the world was part of the GLOBE. He also showed us all these graphs showing how co2 was causing the atmosphere to warm, he must of forgot to put water vapor in the equation. It only causes 98% of the green house effect. He must of been to worried about macking a little cartoon about the a polar bear standing on the last pice of ice in the world. He also didn't tell us about nature creating 95% of all co2

i do support bills for alternative fuel and strongley support saveing our forest.

Answer 1

He's your typical tree hugging, whacked out liberal hypocrite. Expect nothing less!

Answer 2

Are you looking for informative dialogue? Or just a bunch of petty name calling one way or another?
Wake up - the greenhouse effect is real - that is an indisputable fact. If it were not real - we would die. It is one of the functions of our atmosphere. Extra greenhouse gasses are being pumped into the atmosphere in amounts that would make your head spin (we're talking TONS - literally).
These emissions, primarily caused by burning fossil fuels - pour on extra layers of gasses that trap solar energy and warm the earth even more.
You've probably heard this before, BUT - think about it - what else could be causing the ice caps to melt, corals to bleach, unprecedented storm events and rises in ocean temperature?
You could make the argument that it is a natural cycle - but it is a weak one if you understand the science behind how the atmosphere functions. Also - you have to factor in the depletion of the ozone layer - which is without a doubt caused primarily by CFC's released by humans. If you look at the chemistry behind this process - you'll see that chlorofluorocarbons eat ozone for breakfast lunch and dinner. And these are artificially introduced into the atmosphere - there's no other explanation for their presence and the corresponding ozone depletion.
So, increased solar radiation is also reaching Earth's surface - add that to the equation as well.
I'm not saying this is the apocalypse, or that Gore is the messiah of the environmental movement (I don't think he is & I never even saw his "slideshow") - but the idea of global warming needs to be given serious attention. And - measures should be taken to stop consumption and burning of fossil fuels - if not for climate concerns than simply because they are nonrenewable resources that we'll run out of eventually anyway. All harm the environment one way or another in addition to their harmful emissions.

P.S. - in response to your additional comments - you're right - water vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas there is. I'm not sure what you mean about the data because I haven't seen the movie - I've seen plenty of data through my studies though and can tell you that you have nowhere near seen ALL of it - that would take years.
Satistics and data can be manipulated - there is no doubt about that. Much of it is sensationalized in environmental media to create a bigger impact. but the facts and hard science involved here need to be given attention. Just because you disagree with one figure involved in the topic does not mean that there is no problem
Also - "nature" i.e. the ocean, forests, plants - is a carbon sink. Ideally there should be a balance. Nature does not emit CO2 in the amounts it is released today - there's no way that's true.

Answer 3

I'm not convinced that global warming is caused by "greenhouse gases", but I know that everything I do on a daily basis generates heat, from driving to work (put your hand over the exhaust pipe, or feel the tires) to living and working in heated and air conditioned buildings( and air conditioning creates more atmospheric heat than heating) cooking,working,using tools,pretty much everything. I don't think I personally have that much impact, but multiply me times five billion, it's pretty significant. I don't particularly want to change my lifestyle radically, but Then I don't Have to set my thermostat to 75 in the winter and 65 in the summer.
Ignoring the possibilty simply because of the propaganda of the oil companies is a little short sighted, beause we will run out of oil sooner than anyone cares to think about.

There is no other species or force on the planet that willfully or otherwise manipulates the environment to the extent that mankind does. Given that it is a purposeful manipulation, is it too much trouble to be thoughtful about it?

I can't scientifically prove what chewed a hole in the cereal box, but if there's mouse turds in the cabinet, I'm going to go ahead and set a mousetrap.

The other important point here is that those who are arguing against global warming are doing so not on the basis of ANY scientific evidence , or real concern about the planet, they are worried about the economic impact of making people act responsibly.
But that is short sighted (AKA conservative) as well. Even though the buggy whip manufacturers went under, I don't think you can argue that the introduction of the automobile was bad for the economy in the long haul. New technology= new growth.

Answer 4

When the media tells you that most scientist say we are causing global warming that is simply a lie. Many scientist have questioned Gore's book and movie and their so called "facts". Many of the "scientist" that are quoted are employed by not labs or research but by lobbyist working for those who have a financial interest in keeping lots of money flowing into their coffers. Such as the center for science in the public interest. They are lobbyist who will have the opinion that they are paid to have. And by the way they do not have a single real scientist working for them.

The global warming crowd and the Kyoto accord are not about the environment they are about crippling American Business. They want more companies to move to other country's and out of the US. They require American Company's to further reduce carbon output and require so called poor country's to do nothing. They say it is because America consumes too much. It is true we consume a lot but we also provide food and good to the entire world at a higher rate than any other country. The environmentalist use computer models to prove there theories but there is a old saying if you do like the result just change the input. Ignore Gore the job you save may be yours.

Answer 5

I don't think he is crazy or stupid. He is a very intelligent man, don't sell him short. He is just looking for new a way to legitimize government rule over the people now that people are less concerned about gay marriage and satan rock. That's what politicians do- create a crisis and stir the honey pot.

Answer 6

because of the fact the human journey on earth is so short in geological time, i don't think of there is easy info one way or the different. What I do think of is that the human inhabitants is in basic terms too great to be supported by way of the factors left on earth. good crop land and water vestry will make the financial issues of immediately insignificant to your grandchildren. they're going to die of starvation or thirst. the only factor "below water" would be their loan.

Answer 7

I think it doesn't matter.

Man should try to reduce his emissions whether it causes global warming or not, because quite frankly, it's simply bad for you.

This is why we need more emission-free nuclear power plants.

Answer 8

Just look at the evidence. The global temperature rises every time Weird Al opens his mouth.

Answer 9

Sure! But I'm not one of them! :) ...But just out of curiousity, how many Katrina's would it take- to make a "believer" out of you? Time will tell...

Answer 10

go ask a polar bear.
