You want evidence? How about the fact that we have not seen a global warming trend since 1999. How about the thousands upon thousands of prominent climatologists and meteorologists (Which Al Gore is unqualified to call himself) who say that humans are not contributing to some kind of global warming catastrophe in the making, and groups are simply trying to convince the public and the politicians that we are in some sort of crises because there is a lot of money to be made, in the form of Federal grants, in doing so. How about the fact that Greenland used to be green and settled by farming communities until the Little Ice Age, when it was literally covered in ice for the past thousand or so years. Currently, Greenland's ice is melting. BIG DEAL! It's simply returning to its original state of GREEN! (Where did you think Greenland got its name?) How about the fact that the earth, since its formation, has gone through a cycle of global warming periods followed by global cooling periods, followed by global warming periods, followed by global cooling periods, and so on and so forth. How about the fact that Al Gore's movie is FULL of lies! For example, Al Gore made it seem like the rings in the ice formed one ring per year, or something like that. A lie! Ice rings form, not one per year like Al Gore claimed in his movie, but rather one ring per STORM! How about the fact that Reid Bryson, the scientist known worldwide as the Father of Climatology has said time and time again, that people like Al Gore, and the FEW scientists who claim that we are in a crisis are not telling the truth. Get real people. I could go on and on. The evidence is there and it is overwhelming. You people just choose to ignore it, because yo prefer a drama or something.

We do love being scared or we wouldn’t pay to go on ferris wheels, read suspense thrillers, or agree to blind dates. Gore's film was frightening - especially the mistruths. 1922 was the hottest on record ever recorded. ref: http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/scienceques2001/20020524.htm
being 136 F at Al' Aziziyah, Libya in September 1922. 1916 was as warm as it is today. Clearly this is an inconvenient truth. Can we find more? Gore claims that the 10 hottest years on record have been recently, but even the IPCC says since 1998 the globe has been cooling. If we were getting hotter then each year just gone should have been the hottest yet. The thermometer was only invented some 300-yrs ago and put to regular meteorological use 150 years ago. It is still unclear whether this 4-billion year old world is suuposed to be in a heating or a cooling phase. After about half a billion years we might have a clearer picture as to what the surface is doing. We know the interior of the globe is still cooling after its fiery birth 4 billion years ago.
The inconvenient truth about the place I live, Auckland, NZ is that it has not been warming. Albert Park Station (Station A64871) shows maximum and minimum temperature data beginning 1/1/30 and going until 15/12/84. Anyone can buy this as I did. Over those 54 years, the average maximum temp is 19degC and average minimum 12degC. Cutting this in half to see any change, the first 27 years shows an average maximum of 19degC and average minimum of 12degC. The next 27 years is exactly the same. Check these figures. So no temperature change at all in Auckland over 54 years according to our own scientists, and this covers the so-called post-war industrial period, when more CO² was supposedly put into the air from factory emissions. Albert Park stopped continous gathering in 1984 and from then until 1990 daily recording was sporadic. However, there is a little period of two years where another bunch of uninterrupted data occurs, 1988 -1989, and the maximum and minimum averages over this two year period is again 19C and 12C. That was Albert Park, in the middle of the city. I have since seen averages for Auckland being quoted as 21degC for max and 14degC for min over the past 20 years, so obviously this is from data collected at a different station, either at the newer Mangere airport or at Mechanics Bay, and so it cannot be considered. It would be very weird if one part of Auckland showed a warming supposedly representative of a warming globe, whilst temperatures in Albert Park warming more than anywhere else from more asphalt, reflective glass and exhaust fumes, stayed constant through 60 years of the city's growth. A very inconvenient truth.
In Gore's film, much is made of a chart with the CO² and the world’s temperatures fitting together almost perfectly with graphs that go back hundreds of thousands of years using ice data, irrefutable photographic records of ice shelves melting, and computer generated images of major cities including New York and the World Trade Centre being inundated with water…etc. but it is all computer extrapolation. Convenient but not the truth. Naturally they will choose graphs that fit together perfectly, they are making a movie, and it is Hollywood. The same models when run forwards fail to predict current weather.
Much attention is directed at a CO² graph starts at 350ppm and rises alarmingly to 380ppm. Er.. how about starting the 'y' axis at zero, as a graph is supposed to do. Then the CO² rise, which is only an increase of 30 parts per million, would appear insignificant. 30 ppm is actually tiny. It is 3 parts in 10,000. In a room of normal height, about 3m from floor to ceiling, 30ppm is a tenth of a mm, about the thickness of an A4 sheet of paper lying on the floor, or a human hair. That is the % effect from the industrial human race putting gases into the atmosphere, and it is negligible.

What degree do you hold in science?
Where is your evidence that it doesn't exist?
What is your educational background that you feel that you know more than the world's top scientists?
Have you ever taken a Chemistry class at the collegiate level?
Do you understand science?
Science seeks answers to questions through real evidence.
Experiments are repeated again and again by different scientists in different places the exact same way to see if the same results are obtained.
Global warming is real. Get an education. Liberal elites are generally very smart, educated, and intelligent people. They work because they love what they do.

GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT A LIE IT IS VERY MUCH THE REAL DEAL AND IF YOU SAY IT IS A LIE THEN YOU ARE CALLING GOD A LIAR AND BE CAREFUL ON THAT YOU SHOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU FIND OUT THE FACTS APPARENTLY YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE ARTIC ALL THE ICEBERGS MELTING AND THIS IS GOING TO BRING GREAT DEVESTATION ESPECIALLY FOR THE PPL LIVING IN THE COASTAL AREAS THE WATERS WILL RISE 10 TO 20 FT HIGH AND PPL WILL START HAVING TO MOVE INLAND YOU SHOULD REALLY READ UR BIBLE IT SPEAKS OF THIS IN REVELATIONS THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY PLAGUES THE END IS NEAR AS WELL AS ALL THE WAR GOING ON AND REALLY HOW DO YOU SEE THE IRAQ WAR GOING TO END.... GOD IS GOING TO STEP IN AND THE TERRORISTS IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED ALL THIS WHAT I AM SAYING IS IN THE BIBLE AND ESPECIALLY LIKE I SAID GLOBAL WARMING SO BE CAREFUL AS TO WHAT YOU SAY WITHOUT HAVING THE FACTS FIRST

You mean liberals like these?
"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"
"Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader) 'It is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air. We really need to do something on fossil fuels.”
Ford Motor Company CEO William Clay Ford, Jr. "I believe there is now more than enough evidence of climate change to warrant an immediate and comprehensive - but considered - response. Anyone who disagrees is, in my view, still in denial."
"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.
"Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed."
Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart Company
These people know that science has proven that global warming is mostly caused by man made greenhouse gases. From the source below:

make me different from other answers:
The problem with you guy is that you see then you believe.. but for us all to believe is to see.. you may rather join a number of people together to prevent thinning of the ozone layer that goes with the global warming..
you know what, instead of making fallacy and blurging other you may be worthy and useful as you could be. then if you dont believe is such phenomena provide your evidences that may prove your lustful theory.........
Don't make the issues harder rather help contribute.
make your mind open then in this rate you would realized a little hop of knowledge for you coconut to absorb..

You forget that the gvmt school system promotes that Altruism is good and that the more you're required to sacrifice for the "common good" the better you are as a person.

I agree with you 100% it is a bunch of bull, and all these stupid green peace people are like unless you have proof that says you know what you are talking about your wrong and even if you have proof are proof is better so no matter what evidence you come up with your wrong. Sad but true and I can see where your coming from, and the more and more I hear them talk the more and more I think they even no less and less, pretty soon I wouldn't be surprised if they started making up words to fit there agenda........

I'm always impressed by the carefully reasoned arguments the opponents of science are able to present. It must have taken years of research to come up with this.

Please provide links to the scientific data sets you used to determine that global warming is a myth. I have seen several scientific data sets which show the Earth's temperature is rising. Sorry, but you can't just make global warming go away because of your political opinion. It is scientific fact.
