Do you believe Global Warming is a sham perpetrated by the evil socialist liberals and "their" scientists?

Question

Yes, absolutely. The scientific evidence to back up anthropogenic global warming is so clear and easy to understand that I refuse to believe it. Instead, I prefer to believe we are incapable of having any effect whatsoever on the planet's ecosystem and its climate since we are made in God's image, and the children of God could never be capable of producing such disastrous effects.

Besides, there is some little region on Mars where the polar ice cap appears to be melting, so the conclusion must be made that this is due to increased solar irradiance affecting both planets, even though satellite recordings made over the past 25 years has shown no noticeable increase in the radiation from the sun.

And we humans made in God's image are incapable of having any major effect on the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, even though the concentration of this gas in the atmosphere has increased from around 270PPM to currently around 370PPM over the course of a century. The burning of fossil fuels by man could not possibly have caused this rise since we are so few in number, and the Co2 we do release is somehow miraculously not contributing to the increase.

I am a conservative, god-fearing individual who believes the son of God will return to earth and release us from our sins, and enable us to defeat the evil forces that reside here on our earth.

Answer 1

You are an idiot.

Answer 2

The Heartland Institute are a joke they don't seem able to put forward anything that dosen't fall to pieces whether it is this list ~10% within 24 hours of its release saying they new nothing about being on the list sounds much like the Oregon Petition which used a similar tactic. This is Heartland Institute stock & trade the conference they held in New York recently claimed several hundred scientists but turned out to have only a handfull and they had been paid to attend.

Answer 3

religion blinds people to the truth an accepted fact

so Global warming is FICTION
for many North Americans ,but they are used to fiction and feel more comfortable with fairytales instead of the truth,

besides world leaders are not concerned with the well being of the masses ,on the contrary .it was stated at a conference in Copenhagen,in 1998,by Kissinger, that the Agenda demanded a decrease in the world population of 60%,and you cannot achieve this if you start saving everybody.

scientists who work for politicians ,get paid by these politicians and they have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many peoples incomes,and upsets profit margins,so most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.for political and economic reasons

HOWEVER CLIMATE CHANGE IS FACT FOR MILLIONS
Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects

this text only covers some aspects of global warming mainly man made desertification

industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities ,is another story

there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were very few desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
and there are 70 million more peole every year that have to eat and drink and wash

who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/natur...



if forrest are being exchanged for ashalt,concrete and desserts
what is gonna keep this planet habitable for us

Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

Answer 4

All right then answer me these questions:

Why does the ice core data show that temperature drives co2, and not the other way round?

Why do environmentalist try to rewrite history, by claiming the medieval warm period and the little ice age do not exist, even though geologist and historians say it does?

The above myth is based on the hockey stick graph, but yet its creator refuses to reveal its methodology. Why, if he has nothing to hide?

Why should I believe the conclusions of a computer model, that predicted that between 1990 and today temperatures would rise 0.3 degrees when it has only risen 0.1? Could they be biased?

Water vapor is the most significant green house gas accounting for 95% of all green house gases, but yet the IPCC computer models ignores it and states it has no clear understanding of the effects of water vapors. I quote "Weighted estimates for water vapor are not presented because the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has not established a definitive GWP factor for water vapor."http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/alternate/page/environment/exec2.html
The most important greenhouse gas is not understood and not computed in the models, but yet they ask me to believe it? I do not think so.

I can go on and on, but you get my point.

Answer 5

Global warming is real, all right.

It's the anthropogenic factor I question.

Where was the spike on Al Gore's graph from the Mount Pinatubo eruption in the 90's?

If frozen mammoth carcasses are still being discovered in permafrost regions, and summertime plants are being found in their teeth, how in the world can it be said that the Earth is now warmer than it's ever been?

Global warming is a natural phenomenon. All human development within 20 feet of sea level could be referred to as poor planning.

You know that nutrients in soil such as nitrogen and phosphorus will affect plant growth. What about increasing the CO2 in a controlled environment? If plant growth is even slightly affected, then that raises a big question about how in the world all that CO2 conversion, on a global scale, is not going to negate anthropogenic CO2.

Was the Dec 26 tsunami the effect of global warming? Do you honestly think bird flu is the result of global warming? I think that was Al Gore's most outrageous suggestion of all. I was darn glad that man was not president when 9/11 happened, and the subsequent '04 election proved that it wasn't just me. How are we going to address the global climate if we let terrorists control the oil, and if we have to keep rebuilding infrastructures as they get more and more money to build car bombs and who knows what else?

I'm tired of the shotgun blasts of uninformed, irrational, criticisms of lefties like Gore and Kerry, both on the environment and on warfare.

Answer 6

You mean evil socialist liberals like these?

"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

"The overwhelming majority of atmospheric scientists around the world and our own National Academy of Sciences are in essential agreement on the facts of global warming and the significant contribution of human activity to that trend."

Russell E. Train, Republican, former environmental official under Presidents Nixon and Ford

"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

"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."

Senator John McCain, Republican, Arizona

"I'm trying to learn [about greenhouse gases and global warming]. The more I learn, the bigger believer I become."

Senator Lindsay Graham, Republican, South Carolina

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

Charles O. Holliday, Jr., CEO, DuPont

"These technologies will help us become better stewards of the environment - and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change."

President George Bush

Answer 7

NO! God helps those who help themselves and we need to start taking care of our planet so we don't leave a barren wasteland to our children and grandchildren.

Believe what you like to believe, just do it in the light from a fluorescent lightbulb and start to recycle your godfearing waste.

Answer 8

Your statements are so outrageous you are probably play acting. Just in case its clear that if we were made in God's image then God is a serious warmonger.

Answer 9

You sound like Hitler, saying nuclear physics is Jewish science, only to have all the Jewish scientists like Einstein come the America and help us make an atomic bomb.

Answer 10

The theory of man-made global warming is false, it is based on falsified or incomplete data. Lets take a look at what the global warming crowd claims, they say that the human output of CO2 is causing the greenhouse effect which is warming the planet. To see how outrageous this claim is try to guess how much of our atmosphere is made up of CO2, the correct answer is 0.03% of our atmosphere, almost nothing. How can such a small part of our atmosphere have such an effect on our entire planet, correct answer it can’t. Greenhouse gases exist naturally and have always been in our atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as CH4 (methane), N2O (Nitrous Oxide), and water vapor are all put out into the atmosphere naturally in far greater concentrations than humans could ever match. Let’s take a look at water vapor, water vapor makes up between 1-4% of the atmosphere far more than CO2. Water vapor is given off into the atmosphere due to evaporation, so evaporation causes much more global warming than humans ever could. Other natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and the decomposition of plant and animal matter also put far more greenhouse gases than humans ever could.
So what is causing global warming? Well first of all the earth may not even be warming. http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/temperature/ This is a collection of global temperatures collected by NASA that shows a general cooling trend especially around the polar ice caps. So assuming the earth is warming what could be causing it, the sun. Look at this graph also put out by NASA: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/17jan_solcon.htm, it shows that the intensity of the sun is directly correlated to global temperatures and recent studies have shown that the sun is now warming than ever before, coincidence? I think not. Also consider that the other planets in our solar system, Mars in particular, are also warming: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html
You have to keep in mind that the earth goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling, take for example the ice age and later warming of the earth enough to melt the ice.
Advocates of global warming will try and post evidence but the fact is most evidence for global warming comes in the form of general statements like “think of your children/grandchildren” that try to guilt you into agreeing with them. These ads are devoid of scientific proof and seek to toy with your conscience. Every once in a while you will see a graph submitted as evidence mostly from http://www.ipcc.ch/. Take a look for yourself, I search in vain for proof of global warming on this site, sure there are dozens of graphs showing the same data: CO2 rising along with global temperatures but where are the graphs for other greenhouse gases that make up a greater percentage of our atmosphere and are put out naturally, or graphs showing the percentage of greenhouse gases put out by humans verses the gases put out by natural sources. These graphs are not included because they disprove the theory of man made global warming. The IPCC has had a questionable past, it has published a deliberately falsified graph, the so called hockey stick graph, which left out a period of warming during the 1400’s. This warming period in the 1400’s was more dramatic than what we are seeing today, and it took place long before humans industrialized. This falsification was proven and a reprint of the graph appeared in the journal Nature. You may have seen claims that there is a scientific consensus on global warming like this one: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686, this is an absolute lie, do you need proof? Here http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm the signatures of over 17,000 scientists who disagree with the theory of man made global warming (check out the report on this site it does an excellent job of disproving global warming). You may have also seen reports about ice cores supposedly proving global warming, this is not true. Here is the truth about ice cores http://www.john-daly.com/zjiceco2.htm.
You may have the question why anyone would support this obviously false theory, the answer is money. Average people with no scientific background are being converted to the global warming crowd by the dozens due to the repression of evidence against global warming. This mass of people is the reason why notable people are jumping on the global warming bandwagon. Politicians are supporting global warming for votes, scientists are joining for media time and grants, and CEO’s are pledging their allegiance to gain customers who want to shop where the environment is being supported.
You may also wonder why I care, you may think we can only help the environment if we agree with global warming what’s wrong with that? I want to distinguish between global warming and helping the environment. I have no problem with environmentalist causes, in fact I support them, but global warming is taking this idea to the extreme. If you were to follow the guidelines set forth by people like Al Gore your lifestyle would be, these people want to tell you what light bulbs to use. The main reason however is money, why waste millions on studying global warming when we could be rebuilding third world countries and helping the poor. Global warming is a fear tactic used to get your money and your vote by unscrupulous members of society. Hopefully this will just fade away like the global cooling scare which was brought upon us in the 1970’s by the same sort of people using the same tactics. A last link http://www.worldclimatereport.com/ possibly the best resource for answering many of the questions raised by global warming. I urge anyone who believes in man-made global warming to look into some of the resources I have presented. Do not sacrifice your money, time, vote, and conscience to the greedy members of society who are blinding you to the truth for their own greed.

Answer 11

Yes.
