Global warming a mything?

Question

My points bout global warming

* There is no "scientific consensus" on global warming

* Climate is always changing – with or without man

* The Medieval Warm Period was significantly warmer than temperatures today – and was a golden age for agriculture, innovation, and lifespan

* Most of Antarctica is actually getting colder

* Hurricanes are not getting worse – our tendency to build houses in their path is getting greater

* Many big businesses lobby for global warming policies that will increase their profits – and our costs

* The media only recently abandoned the "global cooling" scare

* The real agenda behind the "global warming" scare? A massive expansion of government control over the economy and our lives

Answer 1

You are absolutely correct!   Climate Change would take place with or without human beings being on Earth - it is a normal cycle that the Earth goes through!  Climate Change has been going on for a billion years!  This current phase is just one more!

The fear of Global Warming or Climate Change is the new DANGER to fear!  Before it was the Cold War that we had to fear, the threat that we would be destroyed by nuclear weapons from Russia!   The Military Industrial Complex made millions of dollars off this fear!  Communism fell and that particular DANGER ended!   Now it is the FEAR or DANGER from Climate Change that is being fostered on the world and there are companies that will reap billions of dollars from this new FEAR!

Follow the money!

Answer 2

you tell him "Dana 1981"

Answer 3

You are flat out wrong.

Answer 4

Global warming is real and its consquences can be dire after  a years to come.its not actually a global scare but its a concept based on eveidance forexample there are more glaciers melting than ever,water levels are on the decrease and so many more

Answer 5

My responses to your points (but I'm going to provide evidence to prove mine):

1) It's not possible for global warming to be a myth/scam/hoax.  See Myth # 6 here: http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/global...

2) There is a scientific consensus on global warming.  See the 'Consensus' section here: http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/global...

3) Of course climate is always changing.  Does that mean we can't change it?  Of course not.

4) The MWP was not warmer than today: http://globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:2...

And unless you like megadroughts, nor was it a 'golden age': http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

5) Who cares what isolated parts of the planet are doing?  The planet as a whole is warming rapidly: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs...

But as it happens, delayed warming in the Antarctic was predicted 25 years ago: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/arc...

6) The correlation between global warming and hurricanes is uncertain.  This point doesn't disprove global warming.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/1...

7) I'm not even going to argue about industry.  You're ignoring the fact that ExxonMobile has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into denying global warming.

8) What global cooling scare??  See Myth #1 here: http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/global...

9) I'm not interested in political conspiracy theories.  I'm interested in science.  You don't seem to have any supporting your claims.  What does that tell you?

Answer 6

you need to open your eyes to reality, the planet's reality and not the one which the major corporations suscribe to. yes, climate goes through radical changes with or without us, that's not the issue. the issue is one of acceleration. we've sped everything up, to such a pace we don't allow time for re-generation. our methods, since the industrial revolution, have not taken into account the simple fact that we cannot carry on bleeding the planet dry for much longer. the effects of our actions - those we know about - are frightening enough (melting ice caps, rising waters, increase in asthma in children, etc...) imagine all the ones we have no clue about.

also, i think you'll find there is indeed scientific consensus about global warming. if i saw anyone claim otherwise i would probably be looking very closely at who funded the research and who was editing the reports for public consumption. where are you getting your facts from? i am very curious. and, as for our governments and their agendas, they need to be ashamed at their pathetic and slow response to the environmental issue.

Some truths the "Man Made" Global Warming nuts keep quiet

The ice is growing

http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/...

The Earth has been cooling since 1998 as the sun enters a very quiet cycle.

Canadians legally hunt and kill 700 male polar bears a year- hurting the populations by disproportionately removing males from the colonies-despite this there were 6500 bears in 1960's, now there are 20K+.

The solar system warmed with the earth.

This past winter broke many cold and snow records.

Great site for this info and more with links to the sources.

"Man Made" Global Warming is a lie.In the 1970's these nuts were saying we were in the midst of a new ice age and blaming pollution.

Answer 8

You can believe that global warming isn't fully fact, but what IS fact is that we are putting our Earth at risk by polluting - global warming or not.  What matters right now is taking care of our environment in case of something like global warming.  Why wait until we start seeing effects of pollution when we can try to do something about it right now?

I thought you were going to provide sources? Where is your source for this one?

Answer 10

and they want us to buy a green car to solve the world problem

Answer 11

You are behind the times, my friend.  Global Warming is not the worry anymore, it is Climate Change.  The problem with Global Warming is if the Earth doesn't heat up, the con game is over, no more funding, no more new taxes, no more restrictions on our lives.  The new game is Climate Change.  Now if the Earth warms up, you fault.  If the Earth cools down, your fault.  More hurricanes?  You guessed it; your fault.  Less hurricanes?  Bingo!  Your fault.

As con games go, Climate Change is bordering on brilliant.  The only problem I see...  are people really going to be stupid enough to fall for it?  Based on the other answers to your question, it just might work.
