what is so foolish about global warming?

Answer 1

Nothing except disbelief.

There's a completely overwhelming amount of scientific data showing that it's real and caused mostly by man.

Short version:

The best summary of the data:

The data is why scientists know it's mostly us and not the sun, volcanoes, etc. The data is why the vast majority of scientists think it's real. Proof.

Watch the national news tonight, pick up a paper, or check a major news source on the Net. This truth should now be clear to all:

"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.

“With overwhelming scientific evidence that global warming is adversely impacting the health of our planet, the time has come for the Congress to take action.”

Senator Olympia Snowe, Republican, Maine

"I agree with you (Gore) that the debate over climate change is over."

Rep. Dennis Hastert, Republican, Illinois

"Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed."

Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart

“DuPont believes that action is warranted, not further debate."

Charles O. Holliday, Jr., CEO, DuPont

"We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. The science is clear. The global warming debate is over."

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican, Governor, California

"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

Answer 2

The main thing that's foolish is that after thousands of competent scientists have done thousands of experiments and studies to show that global climate change is happening, and is due to human activities, there are still ignorant people who try to deny it.

But then, there are still people who deny evolution, the holocaust, and the earth not being flat....

Answer 3

I also vote that what is so foolish is the ability of people like George Bush to claim to deny it.

Answer 4

The foolish part is the denial of mathematical evidence.
Oh, and selfishly refusing to change our ways.

Answer 5
