Global warming is a scam isn't it?

Question

Al Gore is an idiot... and he's not super serial

Yeah glaciers are melting... blah blah blah... they're also expanding

Answer 1

YOU BET IT IS!!!


The scientific community is split between global warming and global cooling. In other words, no one knows what's really going on.

A simple look into global average temperature will prove that global warming is a hoax. Why?

1. The planet's average temperature has dropped by 1 degree in the last 50 years (hardly a catastrophy).

2. During the 1930-1950 period, the earth was at it's coolest recorded temperature! Significance: WWII was the time when fosil fuels where burned in the greatest volume. If Global warming didn't kick-in in that 20 year period, what makes you think it will now?


If global warming is real (BIG IF), humans are hardly the cause. The average cow releases more methane than the average car.

Why would Gore lie? To sell "carbon offsets" and make millions on your fear. Global warming prevention is a $6 billion a year industry people.

Answer 2

It is. I believe it was back in the 60's that the big scare was that we were headed into another ice age. I also remember that a mammoth was found in a melting glacier that had vegetation in it's stomach and in it's MOUTH! My husbands nephew, on Aug. 20, 2002 was hiking in the Colorado Rockies. He found the skull of a 442-year old bison in a melting ice field on a 13,000-foot mountainside. He brought it to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and from there it was sent to Stafford Laboratories in Boulder. The article in the Denver paper said---"Researchers believe the remains were buried in snow and ice continuously for the past 400 years, because an exposed skeleton would have disintegrated in less than 20 yrs.,Graham said.
"That raises the question of why the ice has melted now, and that gets into the question of global warming," Graham said."----Would those facts scare you into believeing that man is the cause of global warming? or that since animals once grazed in areas that we believe have always been covered by ice, that those areas have NOT always been covered by ice and were, in fact grazing land's? and that we are once again going into the earth cycle where these grazing lands are returning to what they once were, long before our time? Science is imperfect, based largely on speculation-- subject to opinion and changes of opinion. Gore is out of work and needs something to sell. If he really believed his rantings he should be concerned enough to live it. He doesn't. He's selling---I'm not buying!!!

Answer 3

Al Gore does not seem to be to concerned about global warming. His house in TN uses about 12 times the average power used by a normal citizen's home.

But then, the only reason he got involved in the production of "An Inconvenient Truth" was to keep his name in the news!

The only "environment" Al Gore cares about is his own, and he want's THAT environment to include the oval office!

Answer 4

Two points to make.

1. Global warming is real. Only the uninformed and fools like Limbaugh, Coulter and the Fox "News" clowns doubt it.

2. "Balance" is not a worthy consideration in news reporting. The news should report facts. Showing two "sides" to every story doesn't make a story "balanced" or correct.

For instance, there are two "sides" to the Creationism debate. But only one side has scientific evidence to support its position. It's foolish to "teach the controversy" because the "controversy" exists only in the minds of those who deny science.

Same thing with global warming. All of the science is on the side of those who say it's real.

OK, a third point. Al Gore is most definitely NOT an idiot. But most people who tell lies about him are.

And what the hell does "super serial" mean?

Answer 5

The climate change is real. Al Gore has nothing to do with it. There will always be uncertainty in understanding a system as complex as the world’s climate.
However there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring. The evidence comes from direct measurements of rising surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures and from phenomena such as increases in average global sea levels, tsunamis, retreating glaciers, and changes to many physical and biological systems. It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities. This warming has already led to changes in earth's climate.

Answer 6

Yes it is a scam.One that one day might lead to all out insanity and chaos.If the Global Warming fanatics have their way all of us will be reduced to cave men and cave women.America will become a third world country as everything modern is considered a threat to the environment and outlawed.Ice ages have come and gone,glaciers have melted many times over in various parts of the world throughout time.And earth has seen many different types of changes since it's creation and all of this happened before the wheel was even invented.30 years ago they were screaming about Global Freezing and how in 100 years the whole world will be frozen.Lunatics,why does anyone listen to them?And if they're so concerned about saving the earth why don't they go to China and preach about it?Or Mexico?I do believe that every so often something happens to the sun that affects the earths climate.Maybe that's whats happening,but I highly doubt we have anything to do with it.

Answer 7

The Earth is warming. No one can argue with that. The argument is whether or not it is cause by people. Just in case, I say we all pledge to use less energy than Al Gore. Don't worry, one of his three homes uses 20 times the energy of the average home in the US, and there's still the private jets and limos. It'll be easy. Now I just need to figure out how to buy carbon offsets from myself.

Answer 8

no more of a scam than others saying the world could or will end. global warming is natural man is just accelerating it. that is where people get confused on both sides of the debate. if we can can stop or prolong the end of the world,shouldn't we? religion and science sometimes agree and every religion has a a belief about the world ending,why can't science state the same

Answer 9

Lots of scientists also believe that we are at the beginning of a natural global warming process anyway and that greenhouse gasses all though they don't help the situation don't have an overbearing influence on what is inevitable

Answer 10

I'd like to sidestep slightly and ask: So What IF IT IS!!

I'm sick of paying $2.50 to $3.00 for a gallon of gas! And that doesn't include the trillions we've spent over the last few decades protecting the shipping routes, putting up with every tiny blip on the political screen, the OPEC embargo of the seventies, all because of PETROL.

I see huge promise that bio-fuels and geothermal would be a lot cheaper. The only problem is the start-up costs, primarily achieving proofs of concept at each stage.

But then, we could have had that a long time ago. I'm all for freeing people from despot regimes but it should done AFTER we take care of our own.

The U.S. can't afford to wake up tomorrow to the headline: Oil Hits $500/barrel - Overnight.

The money spent to free Iraq (and I know Marines re-upping for more service because they see progress...I'm not dissing the effort, here)...but that money, about a trillion dollars, would have gone a long way toward freeing US from OIL. From the NEXT Saddam. The next Chavez.

We like this way of life that floats on fuel. We LOVE it. So what are we going to do when that headline is printed?

Having said all that, I guess I'd put on a happy-mask and chant for ANY movement that decries petroleum if it'd have any chance of getting us free of the stuff.
