I mean seriously it seems like it is all a con to just get MORE tax money out of us.
And temprature variations aren't unusal and we don't know everything about them. The world has been here for billions of years and we have only been here for a very small fraction of that, it is impossible for us to truly understand it already. no matter how advanced methods become.
PLUS!!!:Hundreds probably even thosands of scientist really don't agree with the concept of global warming. But many of them won't or can't speak out against it because they are threatened will being fired from their job, or being killed. man, what the left wing will do to keep their theory.
Because thats all that global warming is, a theory. And a disproven one at that.
"An Inconveinent Truth"? more like "Al Gores Conveinent Lies"

am I the only one that feels this way?

You're not alone. Geological studies show that, in the time of the dinosaurs, there were NO permanent polar ice caps and the average temperature of the oceans was about 20 degrees higher -- all with NO help from human pollution. We've also verified that only 5% of carbon dioxide comes from human activities. These facts beg the questions:

1.) Just how much control can humans have over global temperatures, even if they wanted to?

and

2.) What exactly IS the "proper" temperature for the Earth?

Please explain to me how the theory of anthropogenic global warming is supposed to increase taxes. I'm sure politicians will attempt to raise taxes =because= of the theory, but no scientist supporting the theory has ever called for anything of the kind.

And while the world has been here for billions of years, that is no reason to think we are incapable of understanding it. Your entire statement is basically an argument from personal incredulity. You're saying "I personally lack the imagination to understand how we can understand something so old when we are so young, therefore: we cannot understand the planet". I'm sure you can see how ridiculous this line of thinking is. The planet and everything on it is governed by the fundamental laws of physics, which we understand perfectly well. So assuming the laws of physics have remained constant since the formation of the planet (and we have no reason to believe they haven't), we can be fairly certain that the theory is valid.

I should also point out that, to date, not one single scientist has =ever= been ridiculed or fired for not agreeing with the general consensus over the theory. And if you wish to claim otherwise I'll have to ask that you present your evidence supporting this egregious accusation. In fact, I'd like you to present a single piece of documented evidence tha in any way suggests any sort of conspiracy here whatsoever. Since you've all but accused the entire scientific community of fraud, I assume you must have some simply phenomenal evidence for me.

Lastly, you don't understand the concept of a scientific theory. Theories are not made to be 'proven' or 'disproven'. A theory is simply the best model of the world or part of it we are able to create with the available data. No theory can ever be truly 'proven', all scientists can do is decide which theory better explains the observable facts. And at present global warming theory does that better than any theory on the subject ever devised.

The stubbornly uneducated flocks of sheep All Gore and others of his kind who use false , blown out of proportion data to try to take over our resources.
Anyone who actually pays attention to FACTS rather than the fiction the blow-hard left wing liberals put out need to fight this nonsense propaganda.
If you believe that Global Warming is an actual threat then you also probably believe that the moon is made of cheese.
Why is it that people are willing to accept what Dr. Gray believes about Hurricane/storm predictions but refuse to believe Dr. Gray and his team when they say that the Global Warming propaganda is just that.
The Global Warming threat is a farce. Plain and Simple.Rather than succumb to the hysteria,people, get some facts about what is actually going on with our beloved planet.

The only reason why we do not see the full effect of global warming yet is because of global dimming

Global dimming is the gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth's surface that was observed for several decades after the start of systematic measurements in 1950s. It is thought to have been caused by an increase in particulates such as black carbon in the atmosphere due to human action. The effect varied by location, but worldwide it was of the order of a 4% reduction over the three decades from 1960–1990. The trend reversed during the past decade. Global dimming has interfered with the hydrological cycle by reducing evaporation and may have caused droughts in some areas. Global dimming also creates a cooling effect that may have partially masked the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming

It could be true, or part of it could be true - -

but they don't know, and they've lied about a lot on the way, for example the Hockey Stick is a load of crap, they write prior warm periods out of the climate history and they can't explain why tree lines were higher then than now.... They've also been wrong about a lot of the predictions.

Yes, it's being used as a pretext for higher taxes and more government control over the individual's everyday life - that doesn't mean it won't one day turn out to be partially true.

I agree there is way too much political hype surrounding the subject, but there is one fact that everybody agrees about, and that is the increasing amount of CO2 in the air. See the source. Even your "Hundreds probably even thousands of scientist really don't agree with the concept of global warming" agree with this graph. Now look at that graph and extrapolate that trend out a couple thousand years. And remember that CO2 is toxic to humans in high enough concentrations.

Chaos theory vs. linear creation or evolution seems to be what most scientists think is the process which got us where we are today. Certainly this may change multiple times in the future and beginning today; but if this theory has any merit how can we shift the earth and change mother nature other than on some finite basis. I believe we need to take care of our personal world and leave it better than we found it. I also believe it is somewhat codependent and dysfunctional to presume I should try and change everything and everyone else without working on me first in the context of personal mental, physical, and spiritual input and change. Good luck & aDios

What people who don't believe in global warming don't seem to understand is that no one denies that the warming of the earth is also natural. What we are saying is that we are increasing the rate at which it is warmed. Our activities do have a profound impact on our environment. Global warming will happen naturally, but we are increasing the rate at which it is happening dramatically. Maybe you should do some serious research before you run off at the mouth. One chlorine atom released into the atmosphere can destroy 100-1000 ozone molecules. I could give you a science lesson, but I don't think you would listen. You sound like you have all ready made up your mind.

I do, for that reason exactly.
Even Princeton Scientists (who one would think are Global Warming propagandist's pets) aren't in agreement on this one. Check out "Is the Temperature Rising?: The Uncertain Science of Global Warming." if you want a good read.

If you want to refute a propagandist with as little effort as possible, check out this link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling#1975_National_Academy_of_Sciences_report

Like most Right Wing propaganda - you have completely missed the most basic thing that was asked here. You were asked to pose a question. Instead you've provided a statement. Or more accurately - a series of statements. Granted, the subject line is in the form of a question. I will answer that part of it:
Who else thinks global warming is a pile of crap? Loads of people. Loads of similarly shortsighted conservative dittoheads who can't see past their own political agenda to do what's right for their planet or their children's children. That's who.
