  1. Still no one is able to tell us if it will be warmer or colder any time in the future.

    People only guess and these guesses are accepted as truth.

    Globla warming is "Star Trek" science.


  2. When you learn spelling and grammar.

  3. I don't understand the anger towards Al Gore. How dare he say we should take better care of the environment!

    I'm certainly not a radical when it comes to environmentalism, but the thought of conserving energy and recycling doesn't anger me as it obviously does some. This certainly is not a political issue. Many people just don't care what happens beyond their lifetime and they don't want to be hassled with it. It is unfortunate. To answer your question...never. Unless they are being hit straight on the head with it (think The Day After Tomorrow). The fact that they get so heated about the issue, proves it. I think they deny it so that they don't have to change their lifestyles, they get angry because they may worry that it could be true.

  4. Probably never. Even when the world is crumbling around them, they will continue to disbelieve anything is changing, they will say 'its natural' and carry on polluting the atmosphere regardless. I don't think there's anything wrong with the way you posed your question. People who refuse to believe in global warming are people who can't be arsed to do anything about it. All the worlds climate scientists agree that global warming is happening, yet people cling to something they read in a tabloid or on some home-made website that states some 'evidence' that global warming isn't real.

  5. 35,000 SCIENTIST have signed there name saying there is No Global Warming.  United States Congressman said this on radio. I got reported on answers for saying this yesterday

  6. Al Gore is a joke. News Flash you cronies, he's feeding you c**p!

  7. When a conservative spokesman for global warming becomes just as popular as Gore, the right wing will not only embrace the realities of GW, but will claim leadership on addressing the issue. Until then it will just be nothing but weak attacks on Gore as a way to circumvent an actual discussion about the facts... the typical sort of Fox newsesque strategy that is dumbing down America.

  8. ...Sir, a piece of advice - if you ask your question in a kind, courteous manner, you usually will get heard.  Yours could use some improving.

    ...When will liberals research all viewpoints on global warming and come up with a logical solution,  and then proclaim the truth, and forget their liberal agenda?

    ...Pitching the truth and pushing your agenda to get your way is the worst kind of politics.

    ...Physician, heal thyself.

    ...P.S. Al Gore and his buddies should subject themselves to the same restrictions as they seek to put on others, too.

  9. I agree that global warming will be the cause of the end of humans ( The Words , Global Warming). But not in the same way as Al thinks. We should all hope for a clean renewable energy sorce. But taxes on already $4.00 plus a gallon isn't going to solve the issue. It is only going to deplete our food source and the only ones that will be able to heat and eat will be the very rich, like Al. We small people will all die off and the Al Gores of the world won't have anyone to do the farming the processing and so on. The Al s of the world can't even pour p**s out of there boot without help. So yes global warming will be the end of us but not global warming itself. It is the fear of it. When enough people believe the sky is falling. It will.

  10. Be sure to read the questions at the end!!

  11. Going cranky, it doesn't matter what 35,000 scientists are saying, only the few scientists on board with Al Gore and his money-making machine is what counts. (btw, several of those "Incovenient Truth" scientists have backed out from Al Gore's claims.... maybe there just wasn't enough money in the world to keep up the charades).

  12. When they catch on fire.

  13. We should be skeptical about "scientists" who predict climate future based on computer models. People are trying to play God by saying, 'Oh, this computer model told me 50 years from now that this IS going to happen.' That's an arguable point. and I think we should question it. But to say that someone has absolute knowledge of the future seems to me to be playing something more than a mortal.

  14. when the temperatures actually start to increase ill start believing in it

  15. all they can do is speculat on what is going to happen no one knows when the world is going to end! but we should still be taking care of our enviournment. THE SKY IS NOT FALLING
