Do some people honestly buy-in to global warming?

Question

Just curious. If you look at how many trillions of dollars have been made by corporations due to the "Green" movement, it's enough to make you sick.

I normally don't like George Carlin's comedy, but I urge any Global Warming alarmist to search for "George Carlin Global Warming" on YouTube. I think that his opinions are dead-on with most of us reasonable thinking people who aren't manipulated by the media nor 'pseudo-science'.

Answer 1

Well, we have seen the effects of what effects like pollution can do. Like acid rain and cause heat waves, but I mean I dont think that the majority of the stuff the press puts out there is true. Remeber what we all learned in U.S history back in High school. News likes to put alot of yellow journelism out there just to make it sound more appealing to people. I dont think we are headed into a climatic global crisis, but if we somehow did, the human race is a surviver species. We all have brains and are problem solvers. We could solve our way out of a crisis if it did happen.

Answer 2

I believe it but I just don't know if it is as serious as it is made out to be.

Answer 3

Yes. I pass people in the grocery store stocking up on the new "energy efficient" light bulbs and I wonder if they know the only thing they're changing is Al Gore's pocketbook.

Answer 4

do some people honestly think that evolution doesn't exist?

Answer 5

Nobody is perfect- what gets me more is how so many people who haven't hiked in years or been there and done that are willing to assume the mantle of GLOBAL AUTHORITY; can't most of us simply admit that since we are obviously not scientists the evidence is compelling and the risks could, potentially be enormous? I mean what does it take to get you out of your obscene SUV's and simply behave like people should, with caution, curiosity and concern; why does it take a "Green Freak" stance to address the logic of a considerable amount of scientific evidence? F--k politics- if they were the ultimately authority we would all be choking in model T-like exhaust fumes. Why do people lack common sense to such a huge degree these days?

I will check them out..thanks

Answer 7

Caring about the enviroment is trendy currently. Give it a couple more years, and people will find some new cause to pretend to care about.

Answer 8

Well, I am not as alarmist as some of these fanatics. I don't think we are helping the situation. There are changes happening, but I don't think us humans are to blame for ALL of what's going on. I think it's much bigger than just us. Something we really have no control over. We are just afraid of not being in absolute control of every detail in our lives. Humans have that inate sense, if there is a problem, let's solve it, because that's what people have done from the beginning of time. It won't quit, until the last man is gone. We have seen that major cycles have happened on Earth in the past, before humans ever walked the earth.  

I think it's cyclical. Many years ago, when I was in the fifth or sixth grade, my science teacher, said we would experience huge climate changes, possibly within our lifetimes. I can attest to the fact, that the climate has changed in my lifetime. It seems to me that the sun sets further to the north than when I was a child. The winters are milder, the summer storms more severe, and at a much higher frequency. Over time, we will experience the other end of the spectrum of weather events. These cycles usually run at thirty year intervals. Which works out about right in my case, that I have physically seen the subtle changes. I was very young, when the Palm Sunday tornadoes happened in 1965, which was probably the tail end of the last cycle that is much like today is. We experienced major floods, when I was small. In '93 we began experiencing what we did in the '60's. So now we are in the peak "middle" years of a severe cycle. This too shall come to an end.

Answer 9

If you don't want to believe in global warming,

maybe you had better go to this site and

get informed.

Answer 10

As a meteorologist, I can only say what the world of science believes.

-  the earth is getting warmer

-  mankind is not the cause of the warming

-  mankind contributes to the warming but evidence is contradictory to how much; it runs from not significant to substantially significant

-  according to UN agency tasked to study global warming, if all pollution were to end immediately, there would be no substantial slowing of global warming

-  it will cause change; some bad, some good

If that is what you man by buying into global warming, then yes, people do.

It all leads me to believe that: there are good reasons for slowing pollution by mankind but global warming is not one of them.  This means that much of what is said is hype and there are many ulterior motives that people could have for doing this including using it as a scare tactic sound bite or even as a tool to lesson US economic dominance.  It is a sad thing that so many colleagues have been ridiculed, silenced, and even fired for expressing what passes for our scientific consensus.

Answer 11

Well duh, they do.

And it's just plain sad.

Answer 12

The earth has been going through cycles for MILLIONS of years and now "man" is being blamed for the latest cycle.  Sorry, but the dinosaurs weren't tromping around polar ice caps and the ice age certainly covered much of the northern hemisphere....and guess what.....dino's and animals didn't burn fossel fuels and deplete the ozone!

Sham science.
