How long would you estimate that your corrupt government will try to tax you on this huge lie?

If not the biggest lie yet in your opinion what is/was?

Answer 1

Well considering today's gas prices it might not be the biggest one the democrats have pulled off to date, but it is probably the most profitable for their sponsors.

Added is a link that might go far to explaining how supposedly educated people can ignore facts in favor of religious rhetoric and populist propaganda to back with their names pogroms that no normally intelligent person could ever accept.

I just love this quote, it fits the AGW crowd to a "T".

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.

Answer 2

Global warming is real. Proof of that can be seen in the arctic regions of both polls on the earth, by every form of media. The sea levels and weather patterns and soooo many other things are proof. How could someone even ask such a ridiculous question. The answer is a resounding no. GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL! If you don't believe it is real, you are either very foolish or in total denial.

Answer 3

one word : yes

Answer 4

No I don't think Global warming is a lie. But that is just my opinion.

Answer 6

Yes! and it`s growing bigger

Answer 7

The Tooth Fairy is the biggest lie.  It has been around longer and everyone keeps it going generation after generation.

Global Warming is the second biggest!

Answer 8

Ahhhh the question....and where is the answer? Governments abound have jumped on the glorious wagon in order to steer Joe Taxpayer down yet another road leading to higher taxes while yeilding little if any results.

As we all know, pollution is and always has been a concern to anyone willing to accept responsability for littering the enviroment, however the way this issue has gotten out of hand is totally absurd if not criminal.

Governments are willing to, and in some cases already have, impliment taxes to clean up the world all the while having no idea what so ever on how to accomplish such a mission.

In other words...additional revenue for the same Governments to waste on their platforms and secure lifestyles.

I personally believe that this is just another of the ways these political thieves concoct whacked up excuses to impliment taxes to burden even further the lifestyle of the aveage Joe.

There is not one cent of this tax revenue that will ever go to any issue of cleaning up the enviroment.

Already we have stringent laws implimented to auto manufacturers to provide us with emmission free means of transportation as well as taxes implimented to burn the fuels that none of these governments own.

Now some clowns (Suzuki and Gore to be specific) create  an issue they expect the world to embrace and believe so that they, as well as the governments involved can flourish in a windfall beyond your wildest dream.

These same political and scientific minds are the ones that allow us for years to be exposed to mercury in our water supplies, and asbestos in our buildings as well as sustitute food products, all at one time deemed safe for us, yet years later recanted and removed from the market place at a cost borne by us because they are unsafe, unwanted and causing serious illness.

To believe any politician in this corrupt world of politics shows the stupidity of the comon man. To believe scientists that predict doom and gloom so they can reap cash aplenty is just as insane.

Answer 9

the world is going down! if global warming doesn't kill us something will......remember think positive

Answer 10

While I agree that our government is corrupt, I disagree that 'global warming is the biggest lie ever told'....

A preponderance of the global scientific community believes that global warming is, indeed, the biggest threat facing mankind today. Most prominent scientists agree that if we don't do something to curb this threat within ten years, we will be helpless to avoid the consequences.

Global warming is a natural cyclical event that takes place over tens of thousands of years. However, man's 'industrial revolution' of these past 150 has accelerated the cycle, which means that many plant and animal species will not be able to adapt to the coming climatic changes.

In a century-and-a-half we have polluted the very air that gives us life; poisoned our water that sustains us; decimated the land, plants and animals that feed us; exhausted the oceans that breathe life into the planet, and recklessly raped and pillaged most of the Earth's natural resources, all for the sake of our own profit, comfort and convenience.

Your corrupt government won't tax you on this "huge lie" - in fact, your corrupt government had better begin to be PROactive about the global warming threat; it's been REactive for far too long. It has allowed corporations to asphalt over our farmlands, spill oil into our gulfs, overfish our oceans, ruin the mangrove forests and rain forests that provide us with oxygen, allowed building on beachfronts, tolerated gas-guzzling SUVs and Hummers and vehicle emissions. The government has looked the other way as myriad plant and animal species become extinct, and done nothing to stop strip mining for more coal and minerals that are simply pure plundering of the planet.

The government has overlooked how important virtually every plant and animal is to this planet, and how dependent we are on them for our survival. Everything has a purpose on this planet, from wild elephants; tsetse flies; Venus fly traps; wetlands; polar ice caps; 'uncivilized' tribesmen in the dense Brazilian jungles; daffodils; kittens; coral reef; honey bees; remote Eskimo tribes; polar bears; caribou; krill; mountain gorillas and all other species. We have been poor stewards of this Earth, all because of our own arrogance, ignorance, avarice, sloth, neglect and hubris.

If we don't do something quickly - and I mean RIGHT NOW - to try and combat the threat that global warming presents - we will all DIE.   -RKO-   07/26/08

Answer 11

Yes it is a very big lie. In actuality it is a half truth. The earth has shown no warming since 1999 and the warming that WAS happening was never conclusively proven to have been caused by man but was most likely due to the natural warming of the earth. It happens, people ought to do some research and take the stupid politics out of their biased opinions rather than be in a rush to handicap our economy further while watching China and India continue polluting unabated.

Answer 19

global warming is the biggest impact that could ever effet us as human

Answer 20

Absolutely, everyone's out for your $100 and nothing matters more. Fool.

Answer 21

Certain individuals would like us to believe global warming is a hoax. Are they correct?

This is how I look at it:

Let's suppose we think it's a hoax, so we ignore it and continue to put more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. If it is a hoax, then no harm done. But, if we are wrong, then we have helped to destroy our climate.

But suppose decide we want to err on the side of caustion, so we try our best to reduce our carbon footprint. If global warming is a hoax, we have done nothing to harm to earth. If global warming is not a hoax, we have done our part to preserve our environment for our children and grandchildren.

When someone says global warming is a hoax, consider the source and try to understand why they would take that point of view. Do they have short-sighted ulterior motives? Are they concerned with the quality of the lives of future generations? Is there money or power to be gained by claiming global warming is a hoax? Are they too proud to admit error, regardless of the abundant scientific evidence to the contrary?

Why play Russian roulette with the lives of our children and their children?

"I did not have sexual relations with this woman,miss Lewinsky"!    That is still my favorite.................

Answer 23

Thankfully our current government in Canada won't be taxing us over global warming.  But the opposition has already indicated that the next election, for them, will be all about climate change.  If they win, we'll obviously be taxed to the hilt.

I can't think of any bigger scams in history than this one.  I sat and thought for a while...couldn't come up with another.

Answer 24

nyet. the biggest lie ever told is that capitalism works as well as communism. or that i was a mass murderer. your choice.

Answer 25

3 biggest lies:

1.) Evolution is false

2.)smoking is not bad for you

3.)There is no evidence for anthropogenic global warming

Answer 26

Yes.  Check this out:

The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming.  The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science.  The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming "incontrovertible."
