Answer 1

The swindle movie is scientifically wrong.

"A Channel 4 documentary claimed that climate change was a conspiratorial lie. But an analysis of the evidence it used shows the film was riddled with distortions and errors."

"The science might be bunkum, the research discredited. But all that counts for Channel 4 is generating controversy."

History of the director.

Gore's movie may be a little over dramatic, but it has the basic science right. This movie does not.

Channel 4 itself undercuts the movie in a funny way. If you go to their website on the movie you find links to real global warming information. They also have a way to "Ask the Expert" about global warming. The questions go to a respected mainstream scientist who supports (mostly) human responsibility for global warming.

Here's the truth:

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)
Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly, short and long.

The vast majority of the scientific community is also convinced:

Answer 2

It's not a matter of not believing it or not being able to prove a negative.

It's a matter of burden of proof.

In a free society the burden has to be on those who want to limit otherwise free, productive activity, not just to say or infer that the activity causes the harm in question, but to show that it does.

I've also exhaustively searched for PROOF of CAUSATION between CO2 emissions and the most recent of several warming periods, most of the rest of which in recent history did NOT correlate to increased CO2 levels.

You never get any.

It's always "look here's the case" and it's a lot about how we've increased the atmospheric CO2 levels (always as a function of what they were just beforehand, not in proportion to the atmosphere as a whole, which is 90 parts per MILLION over 200 years), look it's warmer than it used to be - then the STATEMENT that because CO2 traps heat that must be the proximate cause of the warming - then the predicted results - - which change constantly by the way, usually in response to the first prediction not coming true.

You can't prove something by saying it.

You can't prove something by saying it more than once.

You can't prove something by saying you're 90% sure of it.

You can't prove something by listing all the other people who say it.

You prove it with PROOF. Tangible, physical PROOF, the way they did with acid rain.

YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT ON GLOBAL WARMING.

And until you do, there's no basis in a free society for you to be imposing carbon taxes or other limits or penalties on otherwise free activity that has nothing to do with you.

Answer 3

I don't think it's a question of believing. Even if you don't exaggerate it and call it Global Warming, look at your cities, and all the gas emissions from cars... you don't wanna breathe that. What happened to all the trees that were supposed to be making fresh air. Everybody wants to breathe fresh air. So do things that don't pollute the air. And if there's Global Warming, then that problem will be solved on its own.

Answer 4

I strongly believe Global Warming is present. All the strorms, glacial melting, and rise and temperatures is most likely casued but global warming.

It is clear that human actions play a huge role in Global Warming.

Answer 5

Yes I believe it, I've studied it in great detail for many years. When you do that there is only one possible conclusion that can be drawn.

Answer 6

I believe it. It is hot here today.

Answer 7

The evidence is all there.

Answer 8

i belive it
