Nov. 8, 2007, 10:58 a.m.Of course it's a scam but the scammers have a willing following in the feeble minded and chicken littles of the world. It's really very sad how they will believe stuff that makes no sense. Pathetic really.

Nov. 8, 2007, 1:20 p.m.so what's the deal, humans spewing tons and tons of waste gasses every year have no effect on their environment? only a fool or ideologue would make that claim.
so then we have, to simplify things, two possible options and two possible outcomes -
we make no changes to our what we spew-
we're right and there is no global warming - this is the second best outcome.
we're wrong and there is global warming - worst possible outcome because now we've accelerated destruction and done nothing to remediate.
we make changes to what we spew -
we're right and there is no global warming, we still gain through increases in efficiency.
we're wrong and there is global warming, we'll we made the necessary changes and haven't lost much most likely because any economic cost may be made up through other gains in efficiency.
so you see the real danger is not doing anything.

Nov. 8, 2007, 1:21 p.m.Notice who provided the Propeller Scout Commentary and how he voted. Interesting.... I guess this story won't make the front page. Not with it running contrary to the libscape political views.

Nov. 8, 2007, 1:31 p.m.I don't know if its a scam or not!
But its 72 in Flagstaff Az in November.
Which is unusual for this time of year.
Pine trees are dying because of the lack of water and the bark beetle.

Nov. 8, 2007, 3:43 p.m.The greatest scam in history is Christianity. Next greatest scam is Islam. After that is when they changed the recipe for Coke. Also, don't forget about that guy in Nigeria who has a suitcase of money for you...

Nov. 8, 2007, 6:36 p.m.Whether global warming is occurring or not is only half of the issue as far as I'm concerned. The earth has been experiencing warming and cooling cycles since the earths existence. How much of the warming is caused by man, and whether carbon credits are a solution or a fraud is the other part of the issue.

Nov. 8, 2007, 7:41 p.m.I thought the ultra-Conservatives repeatedly told us that the "Global Warming scam" WAS CREATED BY the Weather Channel to "line their pockets."
You Righties LIED about that?
Really?
Oh, man, how could you?

Nov. 8, 2007, 9:11 p.m.I am unqualified to speak about meteorology or climatology, unlike everyone on this thread except CapecoralM, but I know one thing. Whenever the press resorts to censorship and ad-hominem attacks, it is lying.

Nov. 8, 2007, 10:10 p.m.I've studied the weather for a while... since I was about 14...I'm 24 now.
Global warming? Maybe in the short-term, but it's not a long-lasting effect. As others have intelligently alluded to, the weather goes through cycles, and we are probably experiencing a warm cycle, especially here in the U.S. But what about other continents and countries? Are they really going through this "heat wave?"
On top of that, NOAA claims the global earth temperature is, for example, up 0.8 degrees over last year worldwide. So what? I would be worried if the jump was 10 degrees or more. That might be a case for action. One degree difference? The only time I'm ever worried about a 1 degree difference is when it's between 32 and 33 Fahrenheit.
If you want to look at something that's more interesting, I'd take a look at December 21, 2012, and its solar alignment with other constellations and planets. At least this claim has some historical backing from other civilizations!

Nov. 8, 2007, 10:31 p.m.Has anyone ever watched KUSI in San Diego and observed this old crackpot Coleman pontificate about the weather and whatever enters his senile mind? His station is about as objective as Fox News with dried up personalities to boot.
John Coleman a weatherman, my foot! Village-idiot would be more like it....

Nov. 9, 2007, 12:10 a.m.I don't know what bothers me most. The cavalier attitude of some that this whole thing is a hoax, on one side of the coin, to the dire predictions from those on the other side of the argument. The reason for the extreme opinions I atribute to being the only way respective group thinks their message can be heard.
I do think that normal climate swing is present, but I also do believe that human interaction with the environment is present. Radical climate change has been documented and provcen by scientists through among other things the study of samples of ice from northen and southern latitudes. Those studies also indicate that the changes took place over extended periods of time, ie centuries. The rapid change we are experiencing woulkd seem to indicate something is amiss. Let me compare this with another phenomenom.
Water boils at approximately 212 dgs F, depending on elevation above the ocean. That means that at 211 dgs the water is merely warm/hot.
Cont below.

Nov. 9, 2007, 1:07 a.m.Hey Dawkins, how original, pay a bunch of "scientists" to study "arctic and antarctic climate impact" and they found change in CO2 levels in the past 150 years? What happened in 1853 to cause these changes? SUV's? George Bush? And all of you environmental wackos never report that while arctic ice may be shrinking in horizontal surface area, it is getting thicker vertically! And you env wackos would be taken more seriously if every five years you didn't predict the earth would end in five years!
