Can't handle the truth. Lefties, if you want to fight "global warming" go th China, they are by far the largest users of fossil fuels as well as the biggest polluters.

Actually, it was just a claim that it may be causing worse hurricanes -- it just was a theory that even the left said was not proved. This really doesn't change anything being that there's still a scientific consensus that the earth is warmer than it's been in 2000 years!... Who's calling who an alarmist?..."Oooh look! I have 1 study! I've debunked the whole thing! Yay me!"
Here, I'll even list Fox News as a source for you...
But for all the reasonable people, I'll also include an article from Science magazine: Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions, begins: "Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise" [p. 1 in (5)].
I'm not arguing for global warming, I'm just saying your logic is ridiculous.

I'm not a scientist, obviously, but "us" everyday people have only the scientists the media and politicians to get our information from, so really after all that sorting and wading through all their gobbly goo, I as an individual have decided that I am going to do what I think is best for me, my environment and for the planet as a whole. And that, I think is reducing the population growth, ceasing to destroy rain forests and their habitat, stop cutting down so many trees, over fishing our waterways polluting the air in cities like China, where you can't enjoy a blue sky, stop being so wasteful. ( rich countries are wasting fresh water every time they flush the loo or water their lawns on a sunny day etc) Food is being thrown away because we are greedy. Their are far too many cars with only one passenger. Animals are dying because of choking on our waste, hence altering our ecology. I could go on, but my point is that whether there is a phenomenon called global warming, or not, shouldn't commonsense tell us that we should be changing our ways for the sake of the future. All these things are surely making a difference to the planet regardless of how big or small.

Two more global warming myths disproved because a biased website says so.
Did you know that unicorns exist, the earth is flat, Elvis is alive and George W Bush is dead. It's true - there are websites that say so. If you don't believe such things it demonstrates you have a selective mentality, choosing to believe things that bolster your own opinion and dismissing things that don't.
By the way, if you knew about global warming then the glaring holes in the Canada Free Press article would jump out and hit you in the face - I guess they didn't but then I guess you don't know about global warming.
Sorry about this but I'm bored senseless from hearing the same old arguments that 'prove' global warming is a myth being trotted out again and again and again...

I don't really understand the debate. It seems a very good thing to do things to have cleaner air and cleaner water and develop alternative fuel so we aren't relying on oil in the Mideast in the future-or Venzuela now. In other words, if we are "environmentally friendly", why does it matter? Let's just do the right thing thing so our kids can play outside without fear of an "air quality risk day". I don't know that it matters whether reducing vehicle emissions stops global warming-but it would definitely be good for all of us.
Corporations that don't have to clean up after themselves are actually being subsidized by you and I. That's not "anti-capitalist"-it should be good business to include all of your costs rather than have everyone else pay for it. If you can't make a profit, should they be in business-when we know others can be good stewards and responsible, yet still make a nice profit.
It also seems kind of funny that Gore is apparently being accused of being a capitalist. Well, of course he is. He started a socially responsible company. Darned if I can figure out what people are so mad about!

Personally I find it ironic how certain groups of people who post on yahoo will accept science that agrees with their personal views as fact, but dismiss other scientific thought as "junk science" just because it doesn't support their beliefs. I also have seen these same groups pick and choose their way through the Bible, they only believe in the parts that they can interpret in such a way as to show support for their beliefs. Furthermore, one group does not represent the whole scientific community. Those who accept global warming as fact, far exceed those who dismiss it without proof. Not that this matters to you, considering that lack of factual evidence has never stopped you before, re.. your previous questions.

Gore didn't lie, it is your critical thinking that died, and
That's not what James Kossin said. I think you should do your own reading and research rather than relying on right wing nut cases who work for the Hudson Institute.
"While we can see a correlation between global warming and hurricane strength, we still need to understand exactly why the Atlantic is reacting to warmer temperatures in this way, and that is much more difficult to do," says Kossin. "We need to be creating models and simulations to understand what is really happening here. From here on, that is what we should be thinking about."

Umm... I'm pretty sure that that is an unreliable source.
And to all of those saying "Al Gore is a hypocrite"
Firstly, that number was exaggerated. While, I'm not saying that he does not use a lot of energy (though not as much as speculated), this energy is green, meaning wind/solar powered. Also, who cares if he used a lot of energy?
The point is that global warning is a threat to Earth which we must take action to prevent. The MESSAGE is more important than the messenger.

Global warming is a joke. All of the planets have global warming right now.
Most global warming theorists have never heard of the term "solar variability". Solar variability caused the earth to leave the ice age in less than 20 years, and it caused the earth to have a little ice age several hundred years ago.
NASA: "Rapid changes between ice ages and warm periods (called interglacials) are recorded in the Greenland ice sheet. Occurring over ONE OR TWO DECADES, the warming of the Earth at the end of the last ice age happened much faster than the rate of change of the Earth’s orbit."
NASA link: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/Paleoclimatology_Evidence/Images/gisp2_temperature.gif
NASA data has proved that the "Little Ice Age" was caused by less light reaching the earth ("solar variability", which means changes in the sun).
NASA's data about the little ice age. http://tinyurl.com/227h3p or ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/da... (This data can be copied and pasted it into Excel to chart it.)
Other facts:
1) 6,000 years ago, the earth was hotter than it is today. 6,000 years is less than a second when compared with the age of the earth.
2) Temperatures dropped in the 1950's and 1990's when CO2 levels were increasing.
3) 140,000 years ago the earth had record CO2 levels and there were no gasoline powered cars.
4) 20,000 years ago, Canada was one big ice cube and half of the U.S. was covered with Ice. The grand canyon was formed by melting ice ages over 20 million years.
5) The temperature of the Earth has only increased by 0.65 of a degree in the last 110 years. There were faster increases in temperatures around 10,000 years ago and there were no gasoline powered cars during that time
6) NASA scientific data has shown most of the changes of temperature are due to changes in the Sun. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto all have global warming right now
7) Also, strong hurricanes are normal. Hundreds of years ago, they used to sink ships off of the coast of Florida.
8) THIS GLACIER DIDN'T EXIST 7,000 YEARS ago. And that was after the Ice Age.
"A few thousand years ago, there were no glaciers here at all"..."Back then we would have been standing in the middle of a forest"

I don't think it's possible for me to care any less what Al Gore has to say about global warming.
I'm a liberal, by the way.
You, on the other hand, seem GLUED to his every word.
Why is that?

right, so lets polute more? do you care about the environment at all? i don't care if global warming will happen or not, we need to stop using hydro-carbons to power our lives, we need to stop being dependent on the middle east for fuel... does that make any sense to you? you support terrorist with your SUV, Osama came from a rich saudi oil family. connect the dots, do some critical thinking.
