Can every major climate science organization in America be wrong about global warming?

Question

Can every major climate science organization in America be wrong about global warming?

Answer 1

Yes, they possibly could.  But it really isn't likely.

Answer 2

I suppose its possible.

Answer 3

Sure.  But it's less than a 1% chance.

Anyone want to bet their future well being on a 100:1 shot?

Answer 4

It could be all caused by something else but do we want to take the chance?  We know for a fact that we have significantly changed the atmospheric gas levels.  We also know that other planets with more C02 and methane are warmer (venus)  Even luddites like bush now concede.

Answer 5

Yeah but basically no matter what argument you guys throw at the wall, it comes down to the following statement:

The scientists are just wrong because of _____ and I just know better.

Why do you know better than all the top scientists of the world?

Answer 6

i suppose that's possible...But have you seen al gore's an inconvenient truth??? there were lots of pics there and those are all real and here in the Philippines, we've been having the most extreme weather...it's supposed to be really hot right now (summer) but there are like, storms coming and going right now...summer is cut short...yet, the heat is becoming worse and the weather's al screwed up...due to effing  global warming...haha,i'm whining , no?

Answer 7

I guess there is that possibility but ithink it is really slim. do you see how much they are working on this? i mean almost every freakin commercial is about global warming

Answer 8

You say this as if every member agrees with their statements. Not only is this untrue, but it is disingenuous to imply as much.

Answer 9

I can't stay quiet any longer about the politics of this land.  I have been contacting my senators and congressman about a couple of issues, and they were very glad to hear from me.  Here are the 2 issues:



1.  The senate is voting soon on the Supplemental Spending Bill for the Iraq War, and Diane Feinstein put in an amendment to grant amnesty to 1 million ILLEGAL immigrants because the produce is not getting picked in time.  Our economy is in so much trouble, and there are lots of LEGAL citizens that need the money and would be willing to work in agriculture.  There are plenty of youth that need good, hard-working jobs to earn them the money they need for college, cars, etc.  Feinstein's amendment is very inappropriate.  Once you start the amnesty policy, there will be no end.  I just saw a presentation on how excessive immigration will undo our country in many ways...too far to mention.



2.  Our country has lots of oil reserves in many states and out in the surrounding oceans.  We have the technology to drill for it in a responsible way to conserve the environment.  The Dakotas, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah have oil shale that can be successfully developed for oil, and the Energy Policy of 2005 directed the BLM to lease these lands to those willing to develop the shale oil.  Now a moratorium was imposed as part of the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2008 to NOT allow the BLM to lease land for shale oil development.



It is my opinion that we should be calling our representatives and letting them know we will not vote for them if they don't allow us to glean our own oil resources in our own land and help our own people and our economy.  To go begging to Saudi Arabia for more oil is humiliating and unnecessary.  This is the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the world to take our money by the billions and give it to countries that are not friendly to us and then prohibit our own people from providing for themselves.



I have sent this out to many in different states.  If we each do our part, and spread the word, something can be done about this situation.  We the people are still in charge if we will take the responsibility.  I had a very good experience calling my representatives, both Republican and Democrat.  Their phone numbers were in the phone directory.  



Thanks for reading, and I hope you will take action.

Answer 10

Sure.  All that's necessary to "prove" it is to assert that they are all politically corrupt (no evidence required, just take my word), someone I dislike (preferably a politician) is making money off of it, or act like I know more than those incompetent scientists.  

OK, sarcasm switch off ;-)

Answer 11

Well they are . Global Warming is a political scam  to get U to pay more taxes.

Answer 13

Sheesh, why does America think it's the only good country with smart people out there?  Some of the best theories about global warming come from England, Germany, Japan, Holland, etc...If they were all wrong, there are other countries in this world with other science organizations.
