Does global warming theory seem more like scientific scepticism or political group-think?

Question

Should it even be considered theory, or just fact?

Jeff you mean this?

Nice piece of sarcasm, kookoo.

Answer 1

There is no skepticism among the man made global warming community. I mean this has all the characteristics of a religion. When you hear the well known climate scientist Al Gore say it's over. The debate is over. I'm right. It's man made. There not debating the issue, they're beginning to look at ways to make YOU and I fix it. You know how Liberals operate. Create the crisis and throw other people's money at it. That's the way they fix problems. Regulate and tax. After Global Warming it'll be another crisis! And the 3 trillion a year they confiscate in taxes is never enough.

Answer 2

I guess the answer is yes. It is scientific skepticism in that the scientific community believes there is no way to stop global warning. This is because it is partially man induced and partially natural phenomena. It is political group-think, because the environment issues are always hot button topics for elections. We all want to know how our candidates plan to deal with the man-made aspects of global warming. Does anyone think it coincidental that the giant squid off of southern California is a hot issue in a run-up to a Presidential election, or the reduced thickness of the polar ice cap or the slightly higher average global temperature. This is the time for environmentalists to get commitments from candidates and that is what makes this news worthy and political group-think material.

Answer 3

i like to invite a query: those scientists & agencies that declare that that's guy-made, who's investment their analyze? that's a effortless false impression that scientists are independent. if it is so, then all the scientists in Nazi Germany ought to have fled from their united states of america. My factor is maximum "scientists" have agendas and commitments, like the rest human beings. they are human, such as you and me. i'm no longer a scientist, yet evaluate this: Volcanos emit extra pollutants and polutants into the air than say an oil refinery or nuke station. evaluate the certainty there are sunspots and photograph voltaic flares and confident, they impact the Earth. do no longer overlook the ranges of cosmic radiation that bombard are planet besides. And in the previous guy ever grew to alter into stepped forward, right here is something to contemplate, there have been ice an prolonged time, mass extictions, shifts of poles, and so on. In essence, i'm asserting the Earth's no longer likely everywhere -- we are! %. your luggage, because of the fact our time right here is fairly limited. you could the two make issues better on your stick to human or hardship approximately something you haven't any longer any administration over.

Answer 4

Yes, We are causing global warming, I believe it has never been this warm before, I believe everything our politicians
tell me, I believe there are weapons of mass destruction
in Iraq, and Tony Blair took the envoys job to bring peace to the middle east, (and not for the money) and I believe in
father Christmas. and the moon is made cheese.
I am 65 years old and never remember a worse summer.

Answer 5

They don't say 'global warming' now, it is 'climate change'. They had to change the name because nothing is warmer.

Global warming is a myth, a religion and way to promote a political agenda.

Nothing scientific is ever a fact, that is against the rules of academic thought.

Answer 6

The earth IS warming, that is FACT. What is CAUSING that warming is the debate.

But considering the conservative position on evolution, their simplistic and entirely unscientific positions on the causes of global warming (ie "the sun") should be taken with a boatload of salt

Answer 7

Well, I don't think you can call it a fact because it hasn't happened and there is no definitive proof that it will.

However, the steps that are recommended to help stop global warming (using less fossil fuels, conserve energy, build more fuel efficient cars, develop alternative fuel sources), doesn't it make sense to be doing these things anyway?

Answer 8

Skepticism and political group think. Whole thing is messed up. They have been wrong before, global ice age of the 70's, but this time around politics and Hollywood wackos got on the band wagon and made the theory the "in" thing.

Answer 9

Al Gore invented global warming for political gain, or at least something seems fishy about it

Thats my opinion

Answer 10

The discussins about global warming should only be among climatologists. The rest of us are just speaking out of our a**. Political pundits should not discuss it since they do not understand the computer simulatiosn, the data gathering, or have any scientific training. This includes everybody from Gore to Rush.
