Do you think Al Gore and Yahoo will ever admit they were wrong?

Question

Now that NASA has admitted their information on Global Warming was very horribly wrong, and was effected by a computer glitch, and 1998 was NOT the second warmest year on record. In fact 1934 was the second warmest...WELL BEFORE cars and industrial pollution were an issue, AND the warmest on record was 1921!!! So we are NOT getting warmer, we are in fact getting COOLER. Will Spotted Al Gore and Yahoo...his personal fan club, stop with all the Global warming religion and BS?

Answer 1

..and give back the money from the Nobel Peace Prize...never

Climate extremism is just as big a threat to civilization as climate change. Scientists who dissent to the idea of human impact global climate change are finding their research funding cut by politicians refuse to accept findings of their research. Gore and R. Kennedy Jr. are both terribly hypocritical claiming to be reducing their impacts on the environment. Gore is a huge fossil fuel consumer and Kennedy refused to allow a wind farm to be built off the coast near his home.
Ice core samples show there was an ice age at a time when CO2 levels were higher than they are today. How can Gore explain that???
There is no doubt that reducing our emissions by seeking alternative fuel sources and reducing deforestation are important issues (not necessarily for global warming) but claiming their importance simply for political gain and classifying all who dissent as "traitors" is wrong. Eliminating nuclear weapons and stopping genocide and human suffering worldwide are drums these activists should be beating more loudly.

Answer 2

With enough distortion and fabrication you can argue any point you like. I could concoct a more convincing argument than yours by arguing that Donald Duck invented America in the 1950's and that Earth is a three sided square.

● Where have NASA admitted their information was 'horribly wrong'? They haven't so please don't make things up.

● Is the data in question 'information on global warming'? No it's not, it's the United States Historical Climate Network temperature anomalies data set (GISTEMP).

● It wasn't a computer glitch but that's not your fault. The reporting media have seeminly decided it was a Y2K bug. It was a very small disengenuity between two data sets.

● In the US 1998 never was the second hottest year on record - it was the hottest, 1934 was the second hottest. After re-evaluation of the data 1934 is now the hottest year in the US and 1998 is the second hottest. Considering that the temperature difference between 1998 and 1934 was just 0.01°C (it's now 0.02°C) the significance of this transposition is negligible.

● The changes to the data are so small that they have no effect at all on the global picture (which is what global warming is all about). 2006 remains the hottest year on record, 1998 is second and 1934 is 46th. The data that NASA got so 'very horribly wrong' is just one part of a larger data set which itself is one of many data sets from one organisation relating to one country. The average annual anomaly is less than 0.001°C, when added to other data sets (which is how global temps are calculated), the differences in temperatures are less than 0.0005°C.

● 1921 never was the warmest year on record, is this something you made up off the top of your head? Temps in 1921 were below average.

● If we're not getting warmer then how do you explain 31 consecutive years of above average temps, the fastest rising temps is known history and the highest temps since humans first inhabited the planet.

You don't have to believe global warming if you don't want to, everyone is entitled to their opinion but don't distort and fabricate evidence in an attempt to bolster your opinion, it immediately loses you any credibility that you may have had.

Just out of interest, can you provide ANY evidence, of ANY kind, from ANYwhere, to back up ANY of your statements (apart from the computer glitch thing which is a media error)?

Answer 3

Industrial pollution was an issue in 15th century London, England. It was illegal to burn a coal fire within the confines of London during that period because of the pollution. The 1990's were the warmest decade on record. 1921 and 1934 were well after the industrial revolution and the massive releases of CO, CO2, as well as a host of sulfur and heavy metal compounds. Industrial pollution has been occurring for thousands of years, it's only been a local problem for most of that time. Now, it's become a major global issue and you refuse to deal with it.
I'm prepared to live in the post-apocalyptic post-industrial era, are you?

Answer 4

I think they would admit they were wrong if that were the case.

Will you admit that you were wrong in asking this question? Because you are. Every single statement you made was wrong.

1) NASA did not admit that 'their information on Global Warming was very horribly wrong"

They admitted there was a slight error in their lower-48 states temperature data, and corrected it.

2) 1998 WAS the second-warmest year on record globally (actually esentially tied for first with 2005).

3) 1934 wasn't even close to the warmest, even in the US. It was a very average year in terms of global temperature, but it was a lot warmer than the 30 year average around it in the lower 48 states (which was colder than the recent 30 year average).

4) 1921 was downright cold!

5) We are getting warmer.

Sooooo many wrong statements. Will you ever admit you were wrong?

Answer 5

1st i would like to state that Al Gore is a Liar about the Internet. The Internet was originally created by the military in the early 70s that linked all Nuclear Assests together & other Military communications. Al Gore, just made the Internet available to the Public.

this is interesting below. Al Gore does not lead by Example.

Two Houses

HOUSE # 1:
A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.

HOUSE # 2:
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the
President of the United States, George W. Bush.

Answer 6

Why do people still debate this over there?
in the UK educaton system it has been taught for over 12 years....fact!
Global warming is a very real and dangerous fact of this world.
oh and by the way.....................recent evidence shows the calculations were way off and it is worse and more imminent threat than once calculated.....please feel free to google that one!

Answer 7

Not likely... the apologist have already put the spin on that report..... The Gospel of the Religion of Global Warming is set in stone... no infidels or heretics will be allowed.... facts and reason don't figure into the equation... we are all doomed unless we bow down to the high priest, Al Gore, and worship at the alter of Global Warming

Answer 8

The temperature records you are talking about is ONLY for the US.

As you might know, in GLOBAL WARMING there is the word GLOBAL meaning it does not only concern the US but the whole planet.

And worldwide records of temperature DO NOT indicate that the warmest years on record for the US is also the one for the planet

SORRY but get first your facts straight

Answer 9

not only is it US data only- it is data of temperature change only!

this data is for the temperature difference from the mean (deviation), not the actual temperature. Do you people ever give up?

2005 is still the hottest year on record
1998 is still second followed by
2002
2003
2004
2006

1934 is still not in the top 25 for global average... neither is 1921

swing and a miss

and btw.... 2006 was the warmest year in US history
1934 is 3rd

Answer 10

I don't think were getting cooler move to Tennessee and you'll see what I'm talking about. Memphis is getting scorched and Kingsport where my dad lives is experiencing record temperatures for his area.
