Don't all intelligent persons know that Global Warming is just a religion?

Question

Global warming was a theory paper that was written at a college in the 80's. The paper actually got a "C" in class. From there it has become a religion where people who lack the intelligence to think for themselves blindly follow others into believing that we are destroying our earth. So sad AND expensive for us as a society and in the world. Think of all the wasted time and money on this silly idea.

The earth has always fluctuated in temperature and the ozone layer of the earth contracts and expands as it always has. It is all a part of God's plan for the earth. We have absolutely no affect on it.

I urge everyone who is a member of the religious cult of Global Warming to start thinking again. There is no scientific evidence to prove that "global warming" is any more than just the earth being the earth with its normal fluctuations.

If you are this desparate for something to worship, why not try Jesus Christ who will eliminate ALL your fears and save you from death.

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

Knowing the collective intelligence of the people who believe in it, versus persons like yourself, I'm gonna have to stick with them on this one.

And given that environmental protection is the latest political cause of the evangelical Christian movement in the US, apparently it isn't just scientists that will think you are an imbecile, but a large fraction of our religious population as well.  Good luck with that.

Answer 3

Don't mix science and religion.

Answer 4

You're very wrong, on all counts.  Here's proof, instead of nonsense.

First, many clearly intelligent people who think it real and then, the solid, verified, and peer reviewed scientific data that proves that it is (which is why they think so).  Finally, citations about how 99+% of all scientists (guess they're dumb, huh?) agree that it's real and mostly caused by us.

"The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now."

James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.

"The overwhelming majority of atmospheric scientists around the world and our own National Academy of Sciences are in essential agreement on the facts of global warming and the significant contribution of human activity to that trend."

Russell E. Train, former environmental official under Presidents Nixon and Ford

"Global warming is already starting, and there's going to be more of it. I think there is still time to deal with global warming, but we need to act soon. Humans now control global climate, for better or worse."

James Hansen, Ph.D. climate scientist, NASA

"Global warming "is the most important challenge we face in this century. The hour is no longer for skepticism. It is time to act, and act urgently."

Prince Albert II of Monaco

"Global warming is the most challenging problem our society has ever had to face up to.  Ice is the canary in the coal mine of global warming."

Britain's chief scientist David King

"By mid-century, millions more poor children around the world are likely to face displacement, malnourishment, disease and even starvation unless all countries take action now to slow global warming."

Michael Oppenheimer, professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University

“With overwhelming scientific evidence that global warming is adversely impacting the health of our planet, the time has come for the Congress to take action.”

Senator Olympia Snowe, Republican, Maine

"I agree with you (Gore) that the debate over climate change is over."

Rep. Dennis Hastert, Republican, Illinois

"Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed."

Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart

"I'm trying to learn [about greenhouse gases and global warming]. The more I learn, the bigger believer I become."

Senator Lindsay Graham, Republican, South Carolina

“DuPont believes that action is warranted, not further debate."

Charles O. Holliday, Jr., CEO, DuPont

"We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. The science is clear. The global warming debate is over."

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican, Governor, California

"Our nation has both an obligation and self-interest in facing head-on the serious environmental, economic and national security threat posed by global warming."

John McCain, Republican, Senator, Arizona

"These technologies will help us become better stewards of the environment - and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change."

President George Bush

The scientific consensus:

"Regardless of these spats, the fact that the community overwhelmingly supports the consensus is evidenced by picking up any copy of Journal of Climate or similar, any scientific program at the AGU or EGU meetings, or simply going to talk to scientists (not the famous ones, the ones at your local university or federal lab). I challenge you, if you think there is some un-reported division, show me the hundreds of abstracts at the Fall meeting (the biggest confernce in the US on this topic) that support your view - you won't be able to. You can argue whether the consensus is correct, or what it really implies, but you can't credibly argue it doesn't exist." -gavin

Dr. James Baker - NOAA

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know - except maybe Newton's second law of dynamics". -Deltoid, ECOS Letter

Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

Answer 5

codswallop tell the thousands of  people,in China ,Africa ,Mexico and even France , who are dead or who have lost everything because of effects related to global Warning ,that

and all the species of plants and animals that are dying right now in Nature because of temperature changes .

Climate change is having disastres effects

1 degree rise in temperature means 10% crop loss

you will cry soon enough when the price of water and food hits the roof

all the countries that are producing for the 1st world are getting into trouble

And all your Jesus Christ does is prepare idiots for death .

better concentrate on how to stay alive ,that is what inteligent people do.

Answer 6

amen. the weather cycles and god controls the weather, not global warming.

Answer 7

Global warming is not a religion.  Nor is it anti-God.  Even Pat Robertson believes in man-made global warming (check his website)

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/08/03/robe...

To be a religion, something has to have a moral code.  Those who believe in global warming do not also believe in some sort of special, GW-only moral system.

Answer 8

Funny how almost every thing you say is the exact opposite of the truth (maybe you are being sarcastic...).

How about writing it like this:

Christianity is based on a collection of stories in a book that was written over the course of many hundreds of years, over 1000 years ago. From there it has become a religion where people who lack the intelligence to think for themselves blindly follow others into believing that we humans have a special place on Earth. So sad AND expensive for us as a society and in the world. Think of all the lives and resources that have been wasted on this silly idea.

I urge everyone who is a member of the religious cult of Christianity to start thinking again. There is no scientific evidence to prove of "Christianity."

If you are this desperate for something to believe in, why not try learning about science, which, through systematic investigation and logical thinking, will illuminate the truth about nature.

Answer 9

There is no scientific evidence to prove that Jesus was the Son of God, yet you believe it anyway.  It is all a matter of faith.  It is true that science cannot prove anything conclusively, but it can still give extremely strong evidence in favor of a given conclusion.  Global temperatures are rising.  That is a fact.  What is causing this is the debate, and the vast majority of environmental scientists will say that a significant portion of global warming is caused by preventable human activity.  I'm inclined to believe the people who study this phenomenon impartially as opposed to someone ranting about the "cult of science" and how it threatens our theological views.

Answer 10

In 1895, the swedish chemist and physicist Svante Arrhenius published a scientific paper describing the effects of carbon dioxide on the overall temperature of the Earth. In this paper, Arrhenius made the stunning prediction, (almost offhand,) that the burning of fossil fuels could cause the temperature of the Earth to increase.

http://web.lemoyne.edu/~giunta/ARRHENIUS...

(excerpt)

Many since Arrhenius have come to the same conclusion, but all have been largely ignored, until recently.

While it is true that temperatures, and global climate fluctuate, such changes are not nearly as random as they might appear to us short lived humans.

In the hundred years since Arrhenius' time, we have seen an increase of more than 1 1/2 degree on average. This may not seem like much, but according to the geologic record, such changes from the average typically take *thousands* of years to occur, not dozens. An increase of 1 1/2 degrees in a hundred years is without precedent in the study of geology.

The 10 warmest years in more than 400 years of human record keeping, have occured in the last 15 years. Last december, on average, was the warmest ever recorded.

None of this has anything to do with morals, ethics, cults, or religion, they are merely observations.

These increases in yearly average temperature correspond almost exactly to increases in the level of CO2 gas in the atmosphere, and also to the increase in the amount of coal, petroleum, and natural gas that are burned by humans each year.

http://www.whrc.org/resources/online_pub...

(for example)

You are doing yourself no credit by arguing that human induced climate change, is merely the fantasy of some sort of religious cult.

By implying that those who support the idea that humans are changing the climate, are somehow ignorant or unintelligent, you are discounting a very large number of (reasonably) intelligent people, (myself included....) Many of these people are also christians, many are not.

With all due respect,

Answer 11

Here is a question for you, Me M:  Is Environmental Pollution part of God's plan?

Answer 12

no...its not a religion.......it is actually happening.

what about that freakish heat wave that hit the U.S. i dont think that has anything to do with a religion.

and you should see that video that that one Algore dude made.....those things really are happening.

Answer 13

OK I am trying not to get angry but, I cant stand people LIKE YOU. The ones who are totally ignorant to what is happening in this beautiful world of ours! Don't you watch the news? Everyday they mention climate change,. its here, its happen and its NOW. Wake up and smell the sea, because soon enough we will be under it. Sea levels are rising, FACT, beacause of mankind. ICE CAPS ARE MELTING < FACT

" In 1984, the discovery of a hole in the ozone layer over antarcitica provided dramtic evidence that human activities are causing irreparable damage to the astomspheric system upon which life depends. Although the the size of the hol fluctuates from year to year, in 1987 it was as deep as the mount everest and covered an area as large as the entire us"

From the book 5000 days to save the planet, published in1990

by Edward Goldsmith

That hole was big then, the scientists were saying then that we are causing this. So image how much bigger that hole is now? Why would they lie ? Go to the libaray and read up on it or even on the net www.bbc.co.uk/climate change.

It is time to start facing facts and stop been so god dam selfish and having the atttiude " It wont happen in my lifeline, so i dont care" The effects are happening right this minute! Wheather or not you decide to have children and carry on your family tree, you should still care, this is a beautilfull world we have and we are abusing it!

I urge you all to do your bit! Write letters to your local Mps and the goverment about this issue. WE NEED MORE ACTION TO BE TAKEN! Recycle recycle and recycle, walk dont drive when possiable, turn off your lights when leaving a room, dont leave your tv on stand by, etc etc ect, when buying new applicances buy ego friendlys ones. Get solar panels, wind etc if u can afford it, it will save u money in the long run think of that. I am writing to housing asscoations to urge them to put solar panels on there houses!

Plese everyone WAKE UP AND FACE FACTS, I am not a scienctists you dont need to be to see this is serious and not a joke! Just look at how the wheather has been over the past 5 years, hurranices, flooods,droughts, etc etc.

Plz mail me if u agree with me and want 2 talk futher, [e-mail]
