No - Global Cataclysmic Climate Change is BIGGER!
I know it's true, because I read about it on the Internet!
This is bigger than UFO sightings! Bigger than Y2K! Bigger than KILLER BEES!
We should learn! Algors movie in the 21st Century version of "Refer Madness"!

"Has there ever been a bigger perpitration of a lie in history?"
I guess not. 99+% of all scientists conspiring together?

Every major world leader buying into the lie?

Seemingly smart business leaders being completely bamboozled?
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
Conservatives with Ph.D.s being totally taken in?
"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"
I tell you, Al Gore can't be a man. He must be an alien. Singlehandedly he's accomplished all this.
Or maybe it's real?
Nah, who could possibly believe that?
Oh, all those people above. And this guy, dummy that he is:
"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

Well considering that global warming is actually happening while the Loch Ness monster and Big Foot don't exist it's pretty much certain that it'll be considered bigger.

I love the responses to this kind of question. "Over-population scare in the 1960's" Typical of a people whose main nutritional problem is obesity, living on a planet where the main nutritional problem is starvation. The population exceeded the food supply in the late 1970's, early 1980's. Why don't you go to Darfur and share your wisdom with those people?
I think the fact that the Conservatives announced yesterday they plan to leave the Republicans. They're dumping Bush, as the Evangelical Christians already have. They don't focus on his medieval anti-science conspiracy theories, but Bush is a package deal. The Denier crackpots are soon going to be out there all alone.
Y2K scare, huh? Do you have the slightest idea how many people worked for YEARS to make that a non event? I heard some halfwit on here say all it required was a patch to the clock. In the case of his personal computer perhaps.
Oh oil and gas are in plentiful supply? I take it that's why the prices are dropping?

The science is in and it's very clear.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS ALREADY HERE -it's no lie. You simply can't say that, not at this stage and not while we are already suffering from it!
Climate change is the most pressing challenge we face in the new century. The effects of global warming are already hurting Australia, adding to the current drought. Yet we face even hotter and drier summers, the coral bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef, the loss of our snow fields, increasing droughts, less water for our cities and an increase in the number of devastating bush fires.
Drought now affects twice as much of the earh's crust as it did 30 years ago.
It is up to all of us to act now in order to avoid the most dangerous impacts of climate change – and to secure our current prosperity and jobs as a result.
Still don't believe me? For 11 years the Howard Government has failed to act on climate change. This has only led to uncertainty for industry and delayed much-needed investment in new, cleaner forms of power generation and other key infrastructure.

You can call it a lie but I will listen instead to NASA, NOAA and the EPA for better and more scientific evidence.
Maybe fairy tales suit you guys better. Like the ones about WMDs in Iraq. There is a bigger perpetration of a lie in history for ya pud.

How about the over-population scare that came out in the 60s right about the same time birth control pills were first introduced. Or how about in the 70s when they told us oil would run out by the year 2000 and the price of gas tripled or how about the Y2K bug when Al Gore told us "planes will fall from the sky" and the country spent billions "fixing" it.

Well, there is Creationism, Scientology and a whole host of kooky ideas being peddled out there.
Why not man made global warming? It's as valid as all the others, except for Nessie, she really does exist.
