Did the Republican/Conservatives create so-called Global Warming....or can we blame liberals too?

Question

In the Global warming debate I've noticed one thing that is constant.

Global Warming was created by the Evil Republicans/Conservatives.

they love to say....or at least strongly suggest

I would like to hear from one person that believes in Global Warming say: YES we liberals are just as guilty...we USE the products the evil one's create..WE ARE JUST as GUILTY for destroying the planet as we love the preach.

my guess is you won't....because this entire debate is not about the enviroment......it's about left-winged, liberal politics who can't win at the ballot box with old tired idiot issues that have failed so many times in the past...it's a scare tactic!!

VOTE liberal & Save the Planet<------------right?

so go ahead.........ADMIT YOU ARE JUST AS GUILTY...I'm waiting

Answer 1

Give me a break, you can say that republicans have proliferated the issue, I know McCain is on some whacky ride to support inititives, but dont you dare lump sum the conservatives in with the republican party. We have been backstabbed long enough by the party and they all out abandoned us this election. Conservatives for the most part are smart enough to see through the Global Warming hoax, because we deal with truth and don&#039;t jump on someone&#039;s band wagon out of emotion like liberals.

It was the socialist and leftist...perhaps some liberals that started this who thing. Look at the founders of the movement. Al Gore, NASA&#039;s Hansen, George Sorroes supporting the effort for any democratic issue, the names go on and on and its been the bleeding heart liberals that started the movement and have been politically muscling the issue into the politicians voting regiment.

So blame the fooled republicans if you want for jumping on the band wagon, but don&#039;t blame them for causing this mess. Republicans like any politician might cause a mess, but they don&#039;t...as a party....mess up so much that it screws the nation up.

Historically there&#039;s been many messes nationwide that the democrats are responsible for, its the party of making a mess.

Need I mention &quot;the new deal&quot; ?

How about the war on poverty (price tag of $6.5 trillion and didn&#039;t work)

How about the Bears and Stearns bail out ($300 Billion)

The mortgage Bail out (another $300 Billion) and its only supposedly going to cover 400,000 people nationwide since the FBI found 80% of the supposed predetary lenders were actually people that lied on their loan application.

Global warming was started by the left.

Organizations supporting GW is for the most part on the left.

You can&#039;t blame companies for jumping on a band wagon to profit, that&#039;s what companies do, the people that influence, that propagandize and spread lies are leftists.

I could go on all day how nationally the left has helped destroy America, but I think i&#039;ve made my point. Anyone that has studied history know&#039;s this to be true.

Answer 2

I guess you don&#039;t understand the difference between.  Yes, everyone uses the products that contribute to global warming, but environmentalists want change and see the need for change in the products we consume and the way we use energy.  We see that we need that change 10 years ago.  We see the result of the actions, we&#039;re not blaming anyone.  Most people go about living their life, consuming, not considering the future UNTIL all of a sudden they realize there is a problem, after it is too late, and then complain about how things got that way.  WE DO NEED CHANGE and it will have to take place on at the political level.  People just simply DON&#039;T care as long as it doesn&#039;t affect their pocket book too much.  Yes, we all use products, I&#039;m not proud of it, but we can have a mass effort to cut back, recycle, reuse, and find alternative energies.  

This is not a blame game, we all need to change our ways.  Do you want people to wait until the artic has liquified before people begin to say, &quot;oh no, lets do something about this&quot; AFTER IT IS TOO LATE?  The whole point is nobody wants to seem to do anything because they don&#039;t &quot;believe&quot; it.  Or they now it will affect their &quot;precious lifestyle&quot;.  As humans, we can see the detriment of our actions on the future, and we can make change.  But doing nothing and waiting for the climate to change is foolish.

Answer 3

To the extent that Republicans and Conservatives represent big business, and b.b. may try to create demand for products which may include coal and other fossil fuels . . .

Answer 4

Hahahahahaha! That was very funny, Love Life!

Liberals are totally responsible for the current global warming scare! 100% From it&#039;s initial inception by the wild eyed college student who dreamed it up, to the liberal media who has amplified this false idea to the public, to the liberal &quot;leaders&quot; who are profiting from it - both politically and monetarily.

Us conservatives can&#039;t even show you liberals the scientific data. NASA has already shown it&#039;s just the sun going through it&#039;s normal warming/cooling cycle! You liberals don&#039;t even know ALL of the planets are warming, do you!?

Hahahahahaha! Love Life, you need to be less of a liberal and more of a man - think for yourself.

There was a (conservative) president who gave good advice you liberals should have learned - Don&#039;t believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.

Man made global warming is a modern myth, perpetuated for the purpose of gaining political power and money - nothing more.

I&#039;m sorry. But your question made me laugh out loud! It seems you actually have some personal responsibility - this is a good thing! (and very un-liberal). So, there is hope for you.

NASA data shows ALL of the planets are warming in direct relationship to their distance from the sun. Jupiter is warming twice as fast as the pattern; NASA suspects it&#039;s own internal heat is being added to the sun&#039;s increase. As to man made global warming; six months of searching through the scientific databases from my position with the national laboratory shows not one scientific paper that shows global warming is man made - not one. The entire idea is politically driven.

Relax cousin, you don&#039;t need to be afraid or feel guilty anymore. A very smart man long ago said &quot;The truth will set you free&quot;.

Answer 5

I&#039;m a liberal.  I contribute to global warming.  Just like every other human, I make tradeoffs between short term and long term needs.

As regards your tired old politics argument, who has a majority in congress right now?

Answer 6

Yeah, I&#039;ll admit I use &quot;evil&quot; products and am just as guilty for helping destroy the earth as the next guy, I&#039;ll admit I&#039;m guilty, there, you don&#039;t have to wait, and I don&#039;t need to lie!  Not proud that I&#039;ve thrown plastic in my trash can when not only was the recycle bin right there, but it was closer, but that doesn&#039;t mean you can just go and &quot;say evil republicans invented something because, yeah, evil, end of story, now admit you&#039;re guilty&quot;.  Now I&#039;m sure you&#039;re ecstatic that you got a &quot;confession&quot; out of me, and for that, you&#039;re welcome, but, well, I&#039;m not going to finish what I was going to say.  Good day to you sir.

Answer 7

You can blame anyone who has every used fossil fuels, eaten meat when not necessary for survival, flown on a plane, bought anything with plastic in it, bought goods made in places half way across the world, drove a SUV on top of often being the only passenger, etc.

Pretty much every single one of us is culpable. This does not mean some are not more culpable than others.

All we can do is minimize our impact and to influence others to do the same as well.

We need to ask ourselves, are we will to make inconvenient sacrifices for the sake of the greater good or are we going to allow the id to govern the more materialistic behaviors we often exhibit.

So what&#039;s it going to be....... (I left out the punk part, a little too dirty hairy for me) ; )

Answer 8

Sorry, I haven&#039;t heard that. And I really can&#039;t criticize anyone I know personally of either political party or leaning here in the U.S. for being more or less guilty of impacting the environment, global warming or no.  I suppose if someone wanted to, they could say that liberals are less likely to drive trucks and more likely to drive Priuses or economy cars, but I don&#039;t know of any real proof of that.  As far as I know, the &quot;worst&quot; thing that can be said of Republicans and conservatives by and large is that the Bush Administration rolled back some environmental legislation or was slow to react to the data and research on global warming. Maybe a case could be made that Bush, et al, blocked or censored information from getting out, I don&#039;t know about that either.  But I don&#039;t see where those issues could support any claims that the Republicans/conservatives CREATED global warming.  That would be outrageously and obviously false.  Are there actually posts here at YA or on the internet anywhere that make such outlandish claims?  I&#039;d love to see some if you have links.

Answer 9

guilty, yes

as guilty as the neo-cons?

not quite.

Answer 10

That STUPID S.O.B., Al Gore, is NOT a Conservative Republican!!! He is an &quot;alarmist, energy-wasting, energy HOG&quot;!!!!!! They don&#039;t get any more Liberal than THAT, do they?!?!!??

Yeah, the same IDIOT who claims HE &quot;invented the Internet&quot;!!

Answer 11

What a bunch of AIR-HEADS! Just by typing your response to this question you are contributing to CO2 emissions-- the supposed CAUSE of GW.

President Bush has been in office for 8 years-- he is only ONE PERSON-- all laws are written-- and passed by Congress-- the President can only propose a law -- and or veto a bill-- Congress can over-ride the veto. So try to learn something about how our government works -- and blame the idiots in Congress if you like-- they are actually responsible for any action or in-action. (and many of them have been there for DECADES!)

Answer 12

The world has been &quot;warming&quot; since the Ice Age, well before Bush was elected...  The socialists (that is, liberal democrats)are pushing global warming as a way to eliminate even more of our freedoms. The plan is to nationalize everything...

Good ol&#039; Gore is using more energy since he &quot;greened&quot; his palatial estate..

Answer 13

let me refer to MSNBC which had reported that Bush did not agree to do anything about the gasses unless China does something, and that 25% of this world&#039;s pollution are created by the U.s., Great Brittain, and China.  Also, there was a report that Clinton had implemented mandates for plants and factories to clean up their acts(facilities)to protect the environment better, and that Bush actually did drop those mandates.  It is the responsibility of big plants/corporations/factories to filter what they puff into our atmosphere or release into our rivers and this administration has not enforced these mandates but dropped them alltogether.  That&#039;s why the blame is constantly on the republicans.  Big corportations have always supported the republicans to get tax breaks and other breaks in exchange and that is a reputation the republican party has to live with now.
