There are several articles out there but I think that the biggest indicator is that the Al Gore Nobel Prize talk just disappeared.
The reason, the media as well as Gore do not want to face the scientists that have real answers.

here is one article for you
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=481613&in_page_id=1811

You can find more at the website listed below, unless of course you are just ranting and don't want any real insight to what is going on.

EDIT:Note to sageandscholar, just because someone disagrees with a couple of people does not make the liars, perhaps you would like to look at this site.

http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2ScienceB2C/Index.jsp

or any of the sites listed below, if you want to be a scholar then you need to fully educate yourself and quit listening to Al Gore. I will agree to a world pollution problem but the fact is we are in a warming trend which happens approximately every 1500 years over the last 1 million years.
At the moment global warming is just a political talking point and both sides want to jump on the band wagon to garner more votes.

worldwide warming is genuine, the information from different sources help it. knowlesy141 is misguided approximately sea point no longer growing to be, btw. The arctic ice cap is all only sea ice and could no longer make a distinction in sea point, however the continent of Antarctica is roofed with a pair miles of ice, and while that each and every physique melts you would be waiting to purchase oceanfront sources in Orlando. The greater instantaneous threat is the disruption to agriculture that even small alterations in climate might reason. This "worldwide warming" isn't in basic terms a uniform advance in widely used temperatures. As ocean temperatures replace, the currents that create climates replace. some places, like western Europe, will relatively get chillier. As ocean currents and wind types replace, rainfall types replace too. this might bring about crop mess united stateson a great scale, maximum suitable to financial and political upheavals. What we don't be attentive to roughly this technique is a million) how far and how rapidly will it proceed, and a couple of) is there something we are able to do approximately it. those on the political left tend to recommend that we do what we are able to and desire it relatively is going to help, whilst those on the the perfect option are greater all in favour of the expenses of the proposed steps, provided that the end result isn't certain. As for the how far and how rapidly, it truly is conceivable for worldwide climate to attain a tipping element and alter very without postpone. there is data that when the final ice age, widely used temperatures larger by skill of as much as ten° C interior 40 years.

No, they don't because it's not. And usually they run on "common sense" alone. Or what they consider common sense. Unfortunately, global warming is too complex an issue to come to a correct conclusion with no more than "common sense".

However, the mere fact that countless conservatives have accepted the scientific consensus proves that it's not a liberal hoax.

Is Newt Gingrich a liberal? How about McCain or Bush? Not conservative enough for you? How about freaking Creationtist Republican presidential nominees Huckabee and Brownback?

But some people will believe anything as long as it allows them to remain in denial.

I would stop short of calling it a 'VAST left wing conspiracy'.

Conspiracies are complicated and difficult to perpetuate. It takes diabolical intellect. We all know that's not a commodity readily available to the left.

Anthropogenic global warming is indicative of the left's willingness to accept very bad news of a planet in peril with little or no quantitive data to support it. If you add some acutal data, even just a smidgeon, they will take it to the bank for interest and discount anything, no matter how it's supported, that may be considered positive.

They thrive on depression. Global warming fits the bill, no conspiracy needed.

Wow! Good $10 word.

Since you have so much evidence, go here and win $125,000. Yeah, you gotta buy a t-shirt first, but since you obviously must have evidence that proves global warming is anthropogenic, you would get one hell of a return on your investment.

I can't wait until you win!!

You mean that is not scientifically manipulated and false drivel scooped up from right wing think tanks and major oil industries front groups or people whose degrees are in another continent practically from climeatology?

No.

I wish they would start looking at the man behind the screen. If you follow the money, you can find the liars, the swindlers and the misinformation dealers who want to delay the swift and necessary action to counter the reality of anthropogenic global warming.

Look, no person on Yahoo Answers is a real authority on these matters. They decide their positions first and then only try to find things that support that, no matter which side of the debate they are on.

The question is does the left have any that doesn't boil down to "Al Gore said so".
