What are the AGW alamrist smoking?

Question

What are the AGW alamrist smoking?

Answer 1

The so called "alamrist" agree with the vast majority of the worlds climate scientists.  Over 100 years of scientific research has gone into the current theory.  If anyone's smoking something, it's the people that think they are all wrong, yet have no scientific evidence to support them.

Answer 2

wow man, i been soking stuff for a 100 years and i think its colder out side

Answer 3

We're not smoking anything, actually, it's you! The people who are still denying the global warming facts cause you are scared, and don't want to get rid of your hummers. And besides, we aren't alarmists, you are the crazy ones denying the facts.

Answer 4

Must be crank because they sure are in a hurry to go nowhere. Every now and then, I am surprised. That is, one will actually use their own words, and is original... Granted not very often. Most of the time it's the same old, cut and paste junk. I know when I first started reading them I was impressed, but it soon disappeared. That's why I started doing my own reading and found out it's nothing but contradiction after contradiction.

Answer 5

again! AGW is regarded as some liberal whacko dementia. last I saw it wasn't a couple of nutjobs in their basement but rather thousands of highly reputable scientists.

Oh but i guess they're ALL wrong right? they're ALL hippie liberal crackpots.

but the first neocon CEO that says otherwise is completely on the level

Answer 6

Nothing...but they all tend to have red Kool Aid mustaches, kind of like this guy:

Answer 7

What ever it is, it must be good because they're detached from reality and they believe they can see the future.

Answer 8

Only the best ,

to be more sensitive and aware of the Universe around us.

what are the skeptics drinking

cheap brandy and beer???

to be so besotted to not notice whats going on.

Way to go Bob turn the admiral loose on them

Is this now a new way to attack concern for OUR  planet

suggesting that we are all out of our minds

Surely those who do not care are more--- off the planet.

Answer 9

I never did anything I was just confuesed before. Now that I have actually looked at other science I realize that global warming is not casued by man.

Answer 10

Awwww, look who's jealous!    You aren't even being given any good weed to roll out the same lies and false science used by the asbestos and tobbacco industries, so why bother?

Answer 11

Science.  May I offer you some?

This is science and what counts is the data.

"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

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

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

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/a...

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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_...

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/fu...

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know...  Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point.  You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

Heretic - When the question is "Is global warming real?", why would my answer, with the scientific references, change?

It's the SKEPTICS who keep changing their story.  As one argument is shot down, they throw it away and pick up another.  How credible is that?
