Do all the major presidential candidates believe in AGW?

Question

That is McCain, Obama, & Clinton. OK, I'll let you throw in Nader if you want.

Answer 1

Yes, the conspiracy is vast. They are all incredibly stupid people who actually believe these zany scientists and their propaganda.

Answer 2

McCain was at the bottom of his class and last I heard, Obama and Clinton were not scientists.  It is pretty sad what passes for science lately.  Science should not be driven by politics and allowing the left to exaggerate a problem to a ridiculous degree is dangerous.  It is science by bandwagon and the wagon is clearly out of control.

Answer 3

Yes, they do, and I don't believe any of them are presidential material.  

Obama is a far right nut job who thinks America stinks.  Why would you want to be president if you don't like the country?

Hillary is just an idiot.  Every time she opens her mouth, I slap my forehead because of the sheer stupidity she utters.

And McCain is a far right Republican.  He's a liberal Republican.

I feel that at least the next four years will be bad.  Expect higher taxes and the government to turn to Socialism.

By 2050, Dana 81?  You realize that they go out in 8 years, 4 if we're lucky.  Whatever they put into place could be overturned the next 4 or 8 years.  They can't plan ahead that far, especially when Clinton doesn't "look that far ahead" even to pick a vice-presidential candidate.

Answer 4

You can throw Nader out. He is as responsible for the mess we are in as the Bushies, because Cheney Bush wouldn't be where they are if he hadn't done his "spoiler" dance. That he could even consider doing it again is a travesty and anyone who supports him is as culpable as the Cheney Bush team. and no I am not dyslexic.

As for McCain -- HA! The man is as out of touch with reality as the present Administration which he is echoing. And he knows nothing about the economy and he has said so. Ye Gods and little tofus!

Both Democratic candidates are clear on the importance of the planet in peril and the energy issues. But as you,  of all people,  know all that my dear, why do you ask?

Answer 5

what a joke..the other night i heard obama say he would get better schools and food for "the children" using money from his carbon credit scheme....hundreds of millions of dollars...where does he think the cash comes from...??? you guessed it...he sez oil company's and industry...i say our pockets...and hellary sez we should take the oil company's obscene prophets...they r not in biz to lose money...how will they make up that money??? our pockets..

Answer 6

I had respect for Nader once.  

In no particular order:

Answer 7

It's debatable whether they actually believe in it, but I think all of them are jumping on the popularity of being "green" and environmentally conscious for political gain.  Basically, whoever gets in office has already said they plan on placing restrictions upon business and private citizens all in an effort to fight man-made global warming.  Unfortunately, they are either too ignorant or apathetic to the fact that they will be taking away people's liberties through mandates and legislation based off of misleading, deceitful, and poor science that only serves to increase the amount of governmental control.

Answer 8

Yes.

It's funny how the skeptics here claim that politics is driving global warming, when EVERY major scientific organization says that it's real and mostly caused by us.

And when the vast majority of the scientific literature and the data backs that position.

That's science.  Not politics.  The candidates (and all world leaders) would greatly prefer NOT to have to deal with global warming.  It makes their work harder.  They do it because they know it's scientific fact, and that they HAVE to.

Answer 9

Yes.  Obama and Clinton have plans to reduce US greenhouse gas emissions 80% by the year 2050.  McCain also considers global warming a top priority, but doesn't have a concrete plan to deal with it, other than supporting a carbon cap and trade system.

Most other presidential candidates also accepted AGW, including creationist Mike Huckabee.

Answer 10

All of the PRETEND to believe in global warming because it's a great excuse to increase taxes and expand government power.  Some of the candidates might actually believe it but most of them know better; for them GW is about power, not the environment.

Answer 11

Isn't it funny how the closer they get to the election the more they all sound like Bush?  2050?  Great.  Just Dandy.  By then all the mountaintop glaciers will be long gone, Europe, China, and a lot of North America will have been without water for a decade or two.  How many shooting wars do you think will be going on by then?  2050?  They are just buying a little time to profit by the situation and convince everyone who'll still believe it that things are hunky dory, just as they've always been.

Answer 12

AGW is a political, not scientific argument.  It is only reasonable that politicians believe political arguments.

Never forget that politicians create problems like global warming then step in to save us from these hobgoblins even when they're imaginary.

Look at Algore for a good example.  He laments that little is being done because there hasn't been the number of laws passed that he thinks there should have.

Answer 13

Yes. All three front runners are NAU globalists with UN kneepads. They can use it as a tool to further control over the masses.
