Do you thing global warming advocates are profiting from their ability to see the future?

Question

Global warming advocates never tell us before a storm hits, only after. They could be taking advantage of their ability to predict the future and leaving everyone else to suffer?

Answer 1

I agree.

Either warmers can predict the future and are profiting from other people's misery,

or warmers cannot predict the future and they are profiting off the people who believe they can.

Answer 2

Is it 'predict' the future? or play to the fear?

Answer 3

There is really no ability available to see the future. The most experienced meteorologists using the best technology can barely predict the local weather, at the most, ten days ahead of time. Many global warming "advocates" see certain climate related events and observations that no one expected/predicted and use to their advantage by twisting these events and observations into things that everyone should supposedly fear and feel guilty about.

It's difficult to say without childish accusations or without biased feelings where the motivation is in this, but many do see profits in money and profits in a political agenda. What is more likely is that many people really, truly feel passionate that they are doing good for the world and/or feel that they need to be mentally "ahead" of the crowd, which is unfortunate because no one should live in unnecessary fear nor guilt that can be both expensive and detracting from a positive outlook on life.

Answer 4

They do like to predict the future but you are right, some tend to blame every weather phenomena on global warming even though there is nothing without precedent that has happened.  I don't know if many advocates are profiting but their politics may be advancing.

Answer 5

I would think its no different then those who preach, some are sincere and some know how to take advantage of the people. Nothing new under the sun.

Answer 6

i thought that a while ago, i'm planning to prepare for a coming mini ice age, i think maybe thr gov want us all to worry about warming so that when the cold hits, many will die as no one will be prepared for it, it's a way of reducing the population, if they truly thought global warming was happening and serious they would have done something serious about it, but they haven't.

Answer 7

They wouldn't be doing it otherwise, would they.

Here's some of their arsenal, with a few more realistic comments.

Answer 8

The Global warming movement is all about control and money.  The pundits want you to believe in their new religion (I say religion, because the facts do not support their conclusions).  

CNG cars are the most efficient cars on the road.  Honda builds a Civic EX for 25K that is greener than the Prius.  Fill up for 93 cents per gallon.  That leads to the obvious question why is it the only one?

Natural gas deposits occur on every land fill in the United States - not to mention untapped reserves on the east coast.  

It make you wonder why government subsidies are going to Ethanol - based on corn which does nothing more than drive the price of food up.  Sugar cane is 8 time more efficient.  It is hard to quantify whether you have  a net energy gain when using Ethanol.  Most studies indicate a deficit of energy - you have to put more energy (petroleum into it than you get out).  The environmental impact is marginal at best.

Looks like a transfer of wealth from Petroleum interest to Farm interest, and associated politicians in the mid-west.  Anyone ever heard of ADM?

Last regarding Ethanol - cars are not designed to run on it.  Sure it will burn, but the compression ratio should be increase to around 12:1 to get max power verses gasoline 8:3 to 9:1. You cannot do that on the fly.

Volcano's do spue out a significant amount of CO2. Actually 300 times more than man every year. The entire Environmental Movement is concentrating on this new propaganda line of CO2 as a means of exercising control. This and other means (Gasoline, and Food) have been how they have been manipulating public opinion to believe in their cause.

The SUN is what warms the earth, and it is in an active state. It has been projected by 2015 cooling will be re-initiated as the cycle is expected to end.

What really causes global warming is the lack of cloud cover. When the Earth is showered in Solar winds not as many clouds develop allowing the sun to radiate more. However contrary to published opinion the earth's troposphere is not heating up as would occur if carbon was accumulating like Venus.
