Will History blame all of the Global Warming on the GOP?

Question

For resisting changes that could have stopped it?

Answer 1

History will conclude that global warming is a natural cycle.

Answer 2

no

the Democrats will blame the GOP, but then they'll blame the GOP for anything to cover up their lack of a serious vision for America's future.

Global warming is the hoax of the century. More and more evidence piles up daily, but the people who already have their minds made up can't hear the evidence.

What 'new' evidence?

TY for asking.

The Greeks, beginning with Plato some 2500 years ago, recorded significant changes in climate. Frost sensitive crops that would not grow in cold winter areas began to do so within 5 generations. Isles became fruitful and productive while others became windswept deserts.

Significant serious scientists ranging from Russians through Canadians, Brits, and Americans -- many with a full life of research in the area behind them -- say flatly that the models which show 'global warming' are terribly flawed.

Two Canadians showed that one of the models cited by Al Gore was in fact scientific nonsense involving faked data, duplicate data, and an intentionally warped 'black box' model [the famous 'hockey stick' graph was generated with it and would do so no matter what data was put into the model.]

Swiss families have personal written records showing the advance and retreat of their glaciers over more than a thousand years. The current location isn't abnormal, nor is the rate of change.

Greenland may actually be adding ice volume, not losing it according to one recent study -- it seems that the ice is becoming thicker in the middle while it disappears at the edges -- because the whole island is very large indeed, thicker in the middle means more volume than disappearing edges.

and on and on.

Now, you seem like a bright person -- why would some people loudly decry a problem that simply isn't??

Are they mislead? Using friendships as a decision mechanism rather than their brains? Can't understand the science? Trying desperately to puff up their egos which were recently deflated? Or are they on a power trip -- trying to achieve control over you and I for their own nefarious ends?

How about 'all of the above"?? !!

Answer 3

It depends on how one looks at the issue. For example:

"In a column posted on MSNBC.com, Lindzen writes that "average temperatures have risen only about 0.6 degree since the beginning of the industrial era, and the change hasn't been uniform — warming has largely occurred during the periods from 1919 to 1940 and from 1976 to 1998, with cooling in between." Is solar activity the determining factor in earth's climate?

Says Patterson, the Canadian geologist: "Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its weakest Schwabe cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on earth. "Solar activity has overpowered any effect that CO2 has had before, and it most likely will again. If we're to have even a medium-sized solar minimum, we could be looking at a lot more bad effects than 'global warming' would have had.""

Answer 4

Not all of the blame will go to the GOP certainly. The US is responsible for the most greenhouse gas emissions, but that still accounts for just 20-25% of the worldwide emissions. That's a lot for a country with just 6% of the world population, but we're certainly not the only ones responsible.

Even in the US only some of the blame goes to the GOP for resisting change - primarily to Bush for not only refusing to take any action to reduce the USA's greenhouse gas emissions (even though he's acknowledged that humans are the primary cause for the current global warming since 2005), but for undermining the entire world's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, most recently at the G8 summit.

However, some of the blame also goes to the right-wing media like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh for spreading misinformation. Also to oil companies, primarily Exxon-Mobile for funding efforts to spread misinformation, like with JunkScience.com.

The GOP will certainly receive a significant amount of blame, and I think if we don't sufficiently slow global warming it will mean the end of the Republican party, but there is plenty of blame to go around.

Answer 5

They will try to blame Bush, even tho the GW thing is all about Gore trying to get attention, enough at least to run for President or maybe be on a ticket as VP.
We could actually be heading for a cooler, and not warmer, period, and that is really going to pop old Gore's bubble.
Vice President Gore's "reign of terror" against global warming skeptics, really has proved nothing but Gore lied.
Even America's top hurricane expert doubts the hurricane-warming connection, and I am sure they know better than Gore.
And the bottom line for Gore's GW Lie, is and he is not saying, is what implementation of the Kyoto Protocol would really cost the U.S. Global warming policies will mean more government, higher energy prices, and more costs and taxes to you! Gore is a con -job, that is all.

Answer 6

History will blame all of us, since we've all been guilty of squandering Earth's natural resources ever since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution 150 years ago. We have wasted fossil fuels, including oil, coal and natural gas. We have built smoke-belching factories that pollute the air. We have refused to Reduce, REuse and Recycle, choosing instead to toss our trash into landfills. We have not given a damn about the delicate ecological balance between all men, plants and animals so necessary for our survival on this planet. We don't care about the depletions of the ozone layer, the rain forests or the mangrove forests that help sustain life as we know it. We continue to drive gas-guzzling SUVs that spew vehicle emissions into the air without regard for the pollution it causes.
This is not a "conservative" or "liberal" issue: this is a real serious threat to our way of life on this planet. If you think a few remote Eskimo tribes and polar bears will be the only victims, think again: it will be our grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will suffer, and who will ask, "Gee, Grandma, you knew global warming was destroying the planet; why didn't you do something to stop it?" -RKO- 07/08/07

Answer 7

LOL.....I don't think history will ever ever be that stupid. So brainiacs, how can we stop the world from heating up? It took 100 years for it to go up 1 degree. The earth has been warming for thousands of years since we started coming out of the ice age.

Answer 8

No, history will laugh at the gullibility of today's moronic libs who swallowed the "man made global warming" idiocy hook, line and sinker.

Answer 9

That,the GOP and the Chinese who continue to build dirty-old fashioned coal-powered power plants til this very day!

Answer 10

yeah right pal.... let's be a bit more fair here shall we. I could go on about the Kennedy family stopping a wind mill farm that could produce enough electricity for a town plus... You neo-libs are all the same too afraid to look into the mirror. flipin hypocrite's
