Global Warming A Hoax? »
Posted by: dominian 2 years, 8 months agoA series of respected scientists point out that there is no evidence that man made global warming exists. It is created by a political activist movement. With a multi million dollar science funding involved. It even stopps the development of third world countires causing more poverty and diseases.

March 11, 2007, 4:37 p.m.I do believe that the Global warming is real, it not a hoax because I can feel the difference in the climatic change that is taking place in every county, and everybody complains the sudden change of climatic condition, you go to any country speak to people they complain about the climate. What happens if you cut all the trees or pollute the rivers and seas? certainly there will be a reaction. You can't beg, borrow or steal the nature.

March 11, 2007, 4:44 p.m.Well I certainly believe as man goes further in depth into "industrializtion", tearing away at nature's resources, the more likely the possibility of such catastrophies as global warming,the reduction of the ozone layer etc. & such.

March 11, 2007, 4:46 p.m.The oil companies want us to ignore our own observations - in addition to the unanimous verdict of thousands of scientific experiments over several decades. If you think that global warming is a hoax, you are the fossil fuel lobby's cheerleader and sucker.
Are you dumb enough to slavishly genuflect before big oil? You don't have enough money invested in their destructive industry to suck up to them. They're not going to reward you - they're going to poison you while piling on their own short-term profit. You are being punked by Limbaugh and the same jackasses who told us that tobacco was good for us.

March 11, 2007, 6:32 p.m.As I see it--both parties have axes to grind..Bush wants to poo poo it so we will go on with his oil use, and he will keep making millions...him, and cheny etal---however..why should we jump through the hoops, spend billions, while China, and India, and Russia--do nothing..??? We spend the money--we pay taxes to fund something that no one else will help with, and with out everyone helping --we are doomed either way..Either we conquer the world, and lead them by thier noses, or we just stay home, and do our own thing..Maybe NASA can find a way for us to get off this planet, before we burn to a crisp..

March 11, 2007, 6:33 p.m.i dont know how many people actually watched the hour and 15 minute video, but i did. i am a believer in global warming and have seen mr gores movie several times, and agree with it. after watching this video, these are my thoughts:
on the positive;
they have some very credible spokespeople; most are scientists, plus the co-founder of greenpeace.
alot of the things they say do make some sense.
according to them, many scientists who participated in the IPCC report dont agree with it, but their names are on it because they did contribute, disagreement notwithstanding.
on the negative;
the global warming supporters have just as many, if not more, very credible spokespeople, most of whom are also scientists. the co-founder of Greenpeace resigned, and may have an axe to grind.
most of what they say is ancedotal, or opinion. they dont show near as much scientific data as mr gores movie. while some of what they say makes sense, alot doesnt...

March 11, 2007, 6:34 p.m.Nahhh there is no global warming , that is why the polar bears are loosing their habitat, that every year more costal land is under water , that we have more storms but then again there was WMD in Iraq and we have an honest goverment lol

March 11, 2007, 8:49 p.m.I'm getting tired of people debating the existance of global warming, first off, global warming exists, it's man-made global warming that is the controversy, but all the shrubbists are on the wrong side, you see you want to deny responsibility for human actions, so you can pretend it doesn't exist in your glass house while the world is damned, I hope one day you all wake up to learn man is partially responsible for global warming, I want to see our nation take part in the global movement...to be responsible for something other than their pocketbooks and swiss bank accounts

March 11, 2007, 9:34 p.m.Global warming is not a hoax. The Bush ad ministration was willing to pay scientists $10,000 not to mention it. If you look at the trend lines of temperature over the years it is going higher and the rate of increase is greater in later years. When you use energy and the result is heat it does not leave the Earth but accumulates making the Earth hotter. Skeptics use your common sense if you have any.

March 11, 2007, 10:11 p.m.Fact is simply solidified opinion.
The predicters of warming are the same ones who said we would have horrible hurricanes this year. What do they say the weather will be next year???
Global warming is a case of follow the money . Millions of dollars will be spent on conferences, computer programs, grants and UN programs. The irony probably will be a large volcano in Indonesia filling the atmosphere with ash, causing a "global cooling'.

March 11, 2007, 10:19 p.m."Consensus" is NOT science. To say that "many", "lots", or whatever - scientists "believe" global warming is real does not make it so. To be "science", it must, by definition, be shown to be so through scientific research and demonstrations that are repeatable and consistent. Lacking that proof, the "evidence" for global warming is simply a belief - no more valid than the opinion of those scientists who disbelieve global warming. Wasn't it only 20 years or so ago that it was being warned by the Al Gore's of the day that we were headed towards a new ice age? We only had to the year 2000 to turn things around or we were all going to die. Hmmmmmm...... And before that, do you remember "Silent Spring"? DDT was to be the end of civilization as we knew it. Nope, I prefer to believe true science, not "consensus".

March 11, 2007, 10:30 p.m.I'm not sure that global warming is a polical cause in itself, but it has spawned a lot of believers in some political circles. It seems to me to be another incarnation of the apocolyptic situation that Malthus first formulated maybe 200 years ago. I remain a skeptic for various technical and scientific reasons.

March 11, 2007, 10:56 p.m.Some Thoughts -Actually common sense
There has been Ice Ages in the past. The were the result of Global cool down. But the earth came out of the Ice Ages, and this was before civilization, i.e. before modern influence on the climate. What caused the warm-up?
Certainly not any emmissions now being discussed by our "Scientists".
The warm up and down is cyclical in the history of Earth.
It has been so, it will continue to be so.
We are now in a warm up period. I remember in the 1950's when these same scientists ( or their breed ) were all a chatter about the coming Ice Age.
Do you remember?

March 11, 2007, 11:02 p.m.According to the Washington Post,
The scientific consensus is clearly expressed in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Created in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Program, the IPCC is charged with evaluating the state of climate science as a basis for informed policy action. In its most recent assessment, the IPCC states unequivocally that the consensus of scientific opinion is that Earth's climate is being affected by human activities: "Human activities . . . are modifying the concentration of atmospheric constituents . . . that absorb or scatter radiant energy. . . . [M]ost of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations." (continued)

March 11, 2007, 11:07 p.m.Washington Post:
The IPCC is not alone in its conclusions. In recent years all major scientific bodies in the United States whose members' expertise bears directly on the matter have issued similar statements. A National Academy of Sciences report begins unequivocally: "Greenhouse gases are accumulating in
Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise." The report explicitly asks whether the IPCC assessment is a fair summary of professional scientific thinking, and it answers yes. Others agree. The American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union and the American Association for the Advancement of Science have all issued statements concluding that the evidence for human modification of climate is compelling.

March 11, 2007, 11:12 p.m.The theory of man caused global warming is a perfect example of "Pathological science"
"Pathological science" is a term coined by Nobel-laureate in chemistry Irving Langmuir in a presentation he made at General Electric's Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory a few years before his death in 1957. Langmuir described typical cases as involving such things as barely detectable causal agents observed near the threshold of sensation which are nevertheless asserted to have been detected with great accuracy. The supporters offer fantastic theories that are contrary to experience and meet criticisms with ad hoc excuses. And, most telling, only supporters can reproduce the results. Critics can't duplicate the experiments.

March 11, 2007, 11:13 p.m.Now of course one can argue that this article (Washington Post above) comes from the "liberal faggot" Washington Post and is therefore not to be taken seriously.
If you are the sort to make this king of argument, you are simply killing the messenger and are also probably too lazy to analyze the argument on its own merits.
Furthermore, if you reject the article because it comes from the WP, you are hopelessly and incorrigibly deluded and beyond help.
The fact is that these reports are based on the many research papers published in peer review journals that some on this thread have called for. The IPCC findings represent a very strong consensus among the world's climatologists. If you wish to quibble, go ahead. You're clueless.

March 11, 2007, 11:32 p.m.So you believe that the air in Los Angeles has become smoggy and toxic because of the sun? Is it possible that the tens of millions of cars contributed to this, or are we supposed to ignore that because we might offend the auto and oil industry zillionaires?

Global warming a hoax...B S. "Big money" is stalling until they can figure a way to get their greedy fingers on more of their GOD money.

March 11, 2007, 11:52 p.m.Let me save everyone a lot of time:
This "documentary" if you want to call it that interviews around FIVE scientists that happen to agree with their moronic opinion that global warming is a hoax. They don't provide ANY hard data, they just have these five "scientists" talk about the data but don't give any real numbers.
Then, they start smearing the environmental movement left and right. In fact, the smears eventually turn into random insults and sound pretty childish. They try to make the viewer believe all environmentalists are communists.
If this is the best the right-wingers and oil company scientists can come up with to defend their conspiracy theories, they really have a bleak future ahead of them.
