Do they still believe the earth is the center of the universe? Is their belief still the dogma of hiding your head in the sand? How much PROOF do you need to over come your beliefs?

Moonman tell me about the deception every con says that but no one has shown any thing other than others blogs. you can say anything with no proof. YOu've been shown proof of it's existance and you still doubt...amazing isn't it.

answer man faith is based on belief. Not on proof...Look up global warming and read. what more proof could you want it took man 600 years to agree the earth is round and revoves around the sun. By then most of the US will be covered with water.

I was scared to death by the number of people I found on Y!A who still think it's all just a big ploy so Al Gore can make money. No wonder we can't seem to get together to do anything about it--a big chunk of idiots still don't actually believe it's happening...
Edit: In respons to mooseback's comment that "it's part of the normal trend" or whatever...um, actually, we're about due for an ice age right now. You know...100,000-year ice age, 10,000-year interglacial period...yeah, we're sort of right at the end of one of those...so if the "normal trend" were in place we'd be on the way down, temperature-wise, not up.

Are humans really so egotistical to believe that what we do can really change the climate that much? Although, yes, maybe we do affect it a little, but come on now... Our world, our environment, has made it through..what is it, like a billion years?.. without self-destructing.. Volcanoes have more power to ruin the environment than our cars do. And don't get me wrong, I was a firm believer in global warming, until I did my own research. The geological record shows a 1,500 year heating and cooling cycle extending back at least one million years. Have humans had cars for a million years? No.
I do think it's great that Americans are finally noticing that we are messing up our environment (pollution, etc), and I think it's great that we are trying to stop pollution and oil spills. These things are polluting our drinking water, killing animals and they really just aren't good for us. However, it seems like Americans jump from one "trend" to another, like "hey, it's cool to have escalades because they're a status symbol" and then go to "hey, we need to drive hybrids because it's cool to 'go green' ". I wonder how long it'll be until Americans find something else that will be "cool" to do, and forget entirely about the environment.

Nope. I am just sitting in an ice box right now and reading recent articles that have found natural explanations for some of the rapid melting.
Yes the world is heating up, and perhaps it is caused by men and perhaps it is not. I am simply bugged that some of the biggest Global Warming activists (Namely Al Gore) have had to use lies and deception in their campaign to raise awareness. If it really was as urgent and Correlated with the rise of industrialism, why does he have to distort the truth to make it look like it, and why does he choose to champion remote probabilities as the eventual outcome. If he really wants me to believe him, he should speak the truth and let that convince me instead of exaggerating it.

Even if pollution isn't causing global warming, it certainty causes a number of other problems that we should be concerned about. The theory behind global warming seems sound, and I have no reason to doubt it, but I'd need to fully research it. However dismissing it out of hand seems to be a bad idea.

Well there is proof of global warming. Of course there is also proof that it's the normal trend of the earth. So I wouldn't put too much credit into man.

cyclic changes in global conditions occur independently of human intervention,ron.
you have made an assertion, the burden of proof is therefore on you.

Your belief in an unproven theory is so strong that you seek to criticize those who lack such faith.
Keep on believing. Your faith is strong.

Because they've been raised that way, were never exposed to a different point of view and don't know any better.
