Im not sure its a scam, but if Al Gore is talking about it, only so much of it can be true.

Answer 4

I fell out of a tree and ruptured my middle cerebral artery. I could no longer read or think clearly. Then I decided that gw was a scam.

Answer 5

how original the same question 5 times on the same page

and maybe a hundred times just this week

some with their heads in the sand may never get that far .

not unless their  back side is on fire

I realized it was real long ago

because the local papers and television were totally involved with the disasters in Chiapas ,and because i saw a lot of evidences on Film,and colleagues came back with stories from other places

A while ago one of NASA's top scientists concluded that the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free within five years, much faster than all previous predictions.

when the north pole is gone , you may have polar bears soon in America ,looking for a home ,

Calculations do not include the accumulative ,speeding up ,factor with time. the increase in water temperature will get faster all the time as well as the melting, when the ice is all gone the deeper cold Ocean currents will be drastically affected,which in turn will affect the warm currents,since all moving bodies of water are connected in series.

This will affect coastal climates ,world wide ,almost instantly. All aquatic flora and fauna will be affected,many dying off and others becoming invasive,

And recently In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before. Millions of animals died.

In India 3000 people died because of super storms .

.A few years ago in Europe 3500 people,died during a heat wave ,many of them in France .

Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming

. these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing .

The biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,

This affects the insect populations that follow ,and changes in that ,affect all that follows in the food chains ,

in the last 300 years half of the planets forests have gone

and in the last 50 years

half of our wet lands ,rain forests and ice fields .and 3000 species of animals .

Global warming is but a component, in a group of destructive forces at work such as ;deforestation,desertification,Subsequen... wind and Water erosion,soil and water contamination ,irresponsible or wasteful utilization of bio resources and air pollution.

WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

We are now witnessing a mass Extinction of animals and plants of Biblical proportions,equal since the disappearance of the dinosaurs

.

There is a series that you can download easy ,called

bbc,Planet earth by David Attenborough.

About 15 ---700mb videos

this is a photographic team that has been filming Nature stories all over the world ,for a very long time .

In 3 of the episodes called --the future--saving species(this one covers extinction and the importance of species)

the future--living together ,ice worlds ,

they compare films they made before of places and species to what they are filming now in the same places.

Many scientists give commentaries as well .

Whole migrations of animals involving millions have disappeared in only 20 years,

in one place in the tundras ,in just 5 years

CHECK THE CLOCK FOR THE SPEED

If we want to save ourselves as a specie ,we have to address

the problems

We can correct most of the destructive factors

with disciplines ,changes of attitude and habits,alternative energies ,sustainable design etc.

All species are in Danger eventually,and each is important because all of Life on this planet is interrelated even if it is not obvious

Imagine that the Eco system is a wall and each specie is represented by a brick

Every brick taken out weakens the wall ,and eventually it will collapse ,which brick is the most important ???

they are all important and we are one of the bricks

Answer 6

When they never said what you and I actually could to do to stop it, other than paying taxes for it [carbon credits].   At this rate, there will be a tax levied in the future against other non-tangible things, such as uncontrollable episodes experienced by teenage boys while sitting in class.

Get ready for another Boston Tea Party.

Answer 7

Your insightful question! Thank you, doctor!

Answer 8

it is not a scam dude. it's not reality, it's actuality

Answer 9

its not this is the real world my friend people lie global warming is life

Answer 10

It isn't a scam.

Answer 11

Its not a scam. Ice caps are melting

Answer 12

Is it really a scam?

Answer 13

this seems to disagree with you.

BEYOND THE IVORY TOWER: The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change -- Oreskes 306 (5702): 1686 -- Science

Answer 14

just b/c something is imaginary doesnt mean it isnt real

Answer 15

There are certain gasses that get retained by the atmosphere that make it harder for the heat energy from the sun to dissipate because they absorb it and keep it locked in the atmosphere.

It's a very real threat.

Still, that doesn't mean the world's governments won't try to make money out of it.

Answer 16

Becasue liberals are they only ones who acutally believe it.

Answer 17

er...try to see about ice melting,the wholeworld season's period have been changes,they found polar bear died (never happened before),bcoz have been searching for ice to stand after swimming for dunno how many km *try to search in the news,the weather is getting hotter, lots of weird disaster coming up,dunno what else to say...

it's a serious problem.definitely not some stupid scam.

Answer 18

I always knew it was a Scam.

Answer 19

It certainly is not. Global warming is occuring in massive amounts. Yes you may say that it will eventually come to a point where we have an Ice Age, but if we didn't pollute our air so much, then all these dramatic changes wont happen so rapidly. We are destroying ourselves knowingly and we aren't doing enough to stop it. As I said, we would eventually come to this point, but atleast it wont be so dramatic and so quick.

Answer 20

To be completely honest, the whole idea of a scam did not really come to mind until recently.

When I first heard the term 'global warming' coined back in the early 1980's, it followed on the heals of comments about 'global cooling' and that some scientific indications were that we were heading toward another 'Ice Age'.

I found both sides of the debate to have valid scientific evidence based on previous history of our planet, current geological activity, solar activity, etc...

This was not a debate as much as scientific minds getting together and point out various possible scenarios.

This is what scientists do, and no matter what the outcome would be, they all could agree that it was not ever going to change rapidly.

Several years ago, some other things were thrown into this equation which had no scientific basis whatsoever!

First was that CFC gas's were responsible for creating

so-called 'holes' in the ozone layer over the poles!

This did not change the fact that CFC production and use have since been banned for no reason whatsoever, or that there never was any 'hole' (only, yearly 'lower than normal level' cyclical events caused by low solar activity during the winter months)!

Secondly, after the banning of CFC usage the 'lunatics who now control of the asylum' decided that CO2 is the cause for 'Global Warming'!

This appeals to man's arrogance.

When you can couple that with basic ignorance, and stupidity, you can easily brainwash people quite easily.

I can understand (in some ways) how easily it is to manipulate people,( Especially when mankind has much to answer for in the first place), but to take a life-giving force like carbon dioxide, in the extremely minute quantity that we have and give it so much negative treatment is pure lunacy!

Some facts worth considering which are never published because it would prove how insignificant man's impact could be on a global scale

1) The weight of our atmosphere is 5.7 quadrillion tons.

( that is 5,700,000,000,000,000 tons)

the current weight of CO2 (assuming 380 ppm) would therefore be, get this,(216,600,000,000,000 tons)!

Since man is producing (to date) roughly 10,000,000 tons of CO2 or 2.1% of nature's production, and the fact that CO2 is not a so-called 'greenhouse gas' in the first place. shows me how ridiculous, and unfounded these claims are in the first place! (But this is science! and far too many people today are not able to 'see the forest through the trees'!

2) I personally think that this lunacy has been perpetuated by the media, and especially by the internet.

Today, anyone can say whatever they believe, and claim to be experts on their subject without any background, or proof of any qualifications.

There will always be a percentage of people that will be either incapable or unwilling to accept the truth.

Up until 25 years ago or so, 'science' was considered to be where the answers were.

Today it seems to be that whoever has the biggest ego, and is willing to impose their misguided mandates on people, has the best chance of winning!

I wish proper scientists would step forward and try to do something to bring an end to a totally useless an self destructive mentality.

The problem that I can see is that most scientists are neither egotistical, nor are willing to waste their valuable time on what they consider to be a 'passing phase'!

I felt the same way a few years ago, but it is no longer a joke!
