Have you been sucked in to the global warming scam?

Question

al gore won the noble peice thing by pushing it. too bad curly, larry and moe are not around, they would fit right in with the gore crowd.

Answer 1

Sucked in !!!!!!Wow your really head in the sand type person

If you cant see what is going on around you well some thing is wrong, you sure do not need Al Gore to show you just open your eyes

Answer 2

Heck no. I can think for myself. I'm not a little sheeple.

Answer 3

Yep.  So are these stooges.

The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association, etc.

Answer 4

Ah, another skeptic who choses name-calling as his verbal weapon of choice.  But the Three Stooges reference was original.

I'm not necessarily the "Gore Crowd," but if by "sucked in" you mean do I think that decades of research has merit, that the majoritiy of climate scientists actually have a clue?  That think tanks at the university level and throughout the world have tens of thousands of people whose life work is dedicated to finding solutions to this mess?

I respect Gore and the U.N. for succeeding in promoting an extremely serious issue, a potential calamity.  I read his first book back when, and was pleased that he stayed on task and followed it up with "An Inconvenient Truth."

I'm sucked in allright, to a maelstrom of indicators that show humans are to blame for impacting global climate patterns.  The science is difficult to comprehend sometimes, and models can be flawed.  But I have 2 children and a grandson who deserve to enjoy a quality life in the future, and I'd like to do what I can to reduce my own ecological footprint and ensure that my nation does the same.

There's an impressive amount of sites out there with good information.  The Stooges were smart enough to watch out for a bad situation, but dumb enough to plunge in anyway. Since we live on the one planet, we need to work together on this.  By some estimates, the only chance we have is to put up a unified front and get serious about confronting the problems that have led us to where we are climatically today.  Our very future may depend on it.

Answer 5

mmmmmmmmm, compelling argument! You should run the National Academy of Sciences!!!

sarcasm BTW...

Answer 6

Al Gore has made 100 million on Global Warming to date. If there was no money in it there would be no Global Warming scare. Follow the money trail and you'll see just who is making a fortune by pushing the eco-n**i agenda. We are simply losing money and freedoms while huge corporations and influential people profit from it.

Answer 7

yes I have.

Answer 8

Nope!  I'm not a sheep!  I don't have a glazed over main stream media driven life.

I can look around me and see that we're expected to get SNOW Friday, and realize "well gee, it's cooler, the globe isn't warming."

So no, I'm not an all day sucker!

Answer 9

I have to tell you that there maybe a tonne of green washing going on yes, but as a student of organic and environmentally renewable design, I think discarding it all as a hoax is far from the actual truth. You can bury your head in the sand, but the truth of the matter is that designers are going to have to find ways to incorporate energy efficient designs if you expect to have a habitable planet to stand on. Stop being so selfish in your thinking. Yes the media is playing games with the public, but you have to stop and ask why. Why is there so much misinformation circulating and who actually owns the American media and what would their intentions really be? If you can answer that question you may find the person who is deluded by misinformation is in fact, well the general public.

Answer 10

Unfortunately yes; there are carbon taxes being introduced as part of energy prices. Bloody Green Fascists!

Answer 11

No.  I have a brain.  I question science when it takes on the qualities of religion.

Envirofundamentalism is a cult.

Answer 12

Absolutely not!

I believe in science and I do not belong to the "Church of Al Gore of Latter Day Fools".

I somehow disagree with your analogy slightly.

As moronic as Moe, Larry, and Curly were, they would look like college professors, compared to Gore!

Although I do not remember much now about the Three Stooges, I can not remember them ever trying to actually do harm to anyone other than themselves, unlike A.G.!

After looking at widget maker's comment I have had to realize that my first comment was not entirely accurate after all.

We have all been 'sucked in', and most of us are 'madder than h**l' about it!

Good comment W. M.

Answer 13

do you think its normal when you open a window in the big city and all you can smell is stinking polluted air? do you think its normal that kids get lung diseases cause of polluted air?

at least al gore is doing something, what are you doing

Answer 14

No but  scientists have....

WASHINGTON -- Hundreds of Environmental Protection Agency scientists say they have been pressured by superiors to skew their findings, according to a survey released Wednesday by an advocacy group.

EPA spokesman Jonathan Shradar attributed some of the discontent to the passion scientists have toward their work. But Francesca Grifo, director of the Union of Concerned Scientists' Scientific Integrity Program, said the results revealed an agency "under siege from political pressures," especially among scientists involved in risk assessment and crafting regulations.

"The investigation shows researchers are generally continuing to do their work, but their scientific findings are tossed aside when it comes time to write regulations," said Grifo.

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., in a letter sent Wednesday to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, called the results disturbing and said they "suggest a pattern of ignoring and manipulating science." He said he planned to pursue the issue at an upcoming hearing by his Oversight and Government Reform Committee at which Johnson is to testify.

The group sent an online questionnaire to 5,500 EPA scientists and received 1,586 responses, a majority from scientists who have worked for the agency 10 years or more. The report said 60% of them personally experienced what they viewed as political interference over the last five years.

Asked about the survey, Shradar said, "We have the best scientists in the world at EPA."

In the survey, nearly 400 scientists said they had witnessed EPA officials misrepresenting scientific findings, 284 said they had seen the "selective or incomplete use of data to justify a specific regulatory outcome" and 224 said they had been directed to "inappropriately exclude or alter technical information" in an EPA document.
