Is it true that Global warming is a Fraud? and who are these people who publish EIR magazine?

Question

I was walking on the sidewalk when I saw a group of people distributing a magazine named EIR (www.larouchepub.com) for free to people who were passing by. I was politely stopped and they gave me a copy It looks like that this magazine has been around for a long time (I never heard of it before) One of them told me that Global warming is a fraud,also, he told me about Gore Hoax (Larouchepub.com) Besides other articles about several hoaxes, they gave me a graph plotting the real CO2 measurements versus Global warmers'fabrication.(as they call it)

The graphs goes back to 1920 Lundegarth...1935 Haldane Duerst etc. Could somebody explain who these people are. Are they telling us the truth? are they scare mongering us? or what?

Answer 1

No, it's real.  The scientific data shows that clearly.

There's an overwhelming amount of peer reviewed scientific data that says that.  Short and long summaries.

The people who deny global warming have a lot of theories, sometimes accompanied by misleading data.  The people who say it's mostly greenhouse gases have a huge database behind them.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)

Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

"climate science from climate scientists"

Tim Ball, above. Ball is a professor of geography who did his PhD on a topic in historical climatology. He has never published a paper on modern climatology.  He goes around the world lecturing on global warming.  He's not convincing many (any?) scientists.  More here:

Bottom line.  Global warming is real and proven.  These people don't get their science from Tim Ball or Al Gore, they get it from the best scientists in the world:

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

Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart

"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."

Senator John McCain, Republican, Arizona

"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

These are the people who publish EIR:

Answer 2

Its hard to see how it is a fraud - that would imply organised and deliberate coordination of a hoax, and I do not believe that is happening.

However, this does not make it real. It is certainly true that reasoned debate is all but impossible, and research into other reasons for temperature change is no longer funded anywhere. So we have a situation where the only people allowed to do research are those who believe in global warming from human causes, and the only research they are allowed to do is that which shows it to be the case.

Despite this not a single climate model accurately predicts the observed changes of the last 100 years from greenhouse gases alone. This is a damning failure.

Answer 3

Global warming may be happening.  That we can stop it is a fraud.  That it is caused by people is a fraud.  Global warming has happened before.  It is related to solar cycles.  It is interesting that Al Gore and others are talking about a carbon footprint and carbon credits to help the enviroment.  Al Gore has set up a corporation to sell carbon credits.  So who is starting to make money off the global warming fraud -- Al Gore.  He, and others live in large houses, fly around in private jets, aircraft and have multiple suvs and use limousines while expecting us to drive smaller cars, cut back on our lifestyle and pay extra taxes to "improve" the enviroment.  There is fraud- and it starts with Al Gore.

Answer 4

That is a decision you will have to come up with yourself.  Here is a link to a lectures that argues against.  http://www.fcpp.org/main/media_file_wm.p...  While following the lecture make sure you click on the powerpoint slides as well.  I am sure other people are going to give you links for the global warming side.  Study both sides and make up your own mind. At least then it will have been an educated one.

Answer 5

Yes, it could be considered a fraud.  The scientific findings surrounding global warming have led to the involvement of politicians, energy industry funding of critics and skeptical politicians, participation by environmental groups, and active discussions by pundit and media personalities over the cause, effects, and mitigations.  Every 20 years someone comes out saying that Global Warming is near and it's 20 years later and it never came.  The weather always has irregular patterns and a lot of people jump to conclusions instead of doing research, which in turns leads people, politicians in particular, to use that to their advantage and scare people.  Either way, just be informed and stay skeptical and open-minded.

Answer 6

they were conartists working for the government

to brainwash the people into believing that the government does   not need to do anything

Answer 7

There's millions of dollars being spent in misinformation campaigns but don't be duped by big oil - they hope you're dumb enough to believe their lies. The truth is out there, all you have to do is look with an intelligent eye. Here's a good place to start:
