Question

What made you realize that global warming was a liberal scam?

Answer 1

the fact that there is proof that it is happening.  Their making all that stuff up! like how Greenland's ice is melting fast enough where they are now starting to brew their first beer from the melted ice (Greenland beer, only exported to Denmark).  Or that forest fires in the northern US and Canada have doubled in frequency since 1960.  Don't believe ANY OF IT, the liberals are torching the forests, and melting the glacier; they are faking global warming by holding a giant invisible magnifying glass next to the earth and warming it, then say that its these fake "greenhouse gases."  those clever  people!

Answer 2

And your scientific credentials are...?

Answer 3

Two words,  

Al Gore.

Enough said.

Answer 4

Your avatar looks kinda familiar...I'm just going to leave it at that.

Answer 5

What???  When will you stop your charade???

We currently have a conservative government here in Sweden now and they pushes for actions to limit the use of fossil fuels almost as much as the "lefties" as you like to call them, because everyone here agrees and realise the seriousness in this problem.

Anyway, I'm glad to see you've taken back your "Antiglobalwarmingknight" name. That suits you much better than some "Dr Smith Phd" or "Climatologist" names.

Answer 6

Does this make your 5th or 6th different identify (Bob, Dr. Climatalogy, Dr. Smith PhD, etc., etc.) in the past month?  Your childish facades only convince intelligent people that you are ignorant and know nothing about global warming.

Answer 7

I already knew because the earth goes through something that I think is called and El Nino. It is when the earth heats up and it lasts about 7 years. Also, volcanoes produce more green house gases than the whole world could in a day. One thing that is good, is that some people realize that Global Warming IS a scam BUT we need to work together to protect our environment!

Answer 8

1)  I know what causes the Earth to warm.

2)  I know the motives of those who preach AGW.

Answer 9

I realize it everytime those who believe in it lie to me.

They lie to me every time they say "NO SCIENTIST CAN DENY GLOBAL WARMING."

Truth is, while some scientists do fall in line with Al Gore, MANY do not.  In fact 17,200 have put their names on the skeptical side here...

http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm

They also lie every time they say, "The scientific facts show it to be true."  Well those "facts" of their's are in question every time I see FACTS put forth by scientists such as those on the site above or by the founder of the Weather Channel.

They lie every time they say, "The debate is OVER."

Truth is the Al Gore ran away from the debate and repeatedly refuses to entertain the debate such as this week's climate change convention in New York City which he refused to show for just becasue many of the over 400 scientists there were global warming skeptics.

So basically, every time they lie to me, Global Warming followers remind of why I don't believe in their cause.

Answer 10

Gee, just tacking a political label on it almost convinces me to follow people like you in a sheeplike fashion.  

OK, maybe not.  You may find plenty of others however who will follow a simplistic name-calling banner like "liberal scam."

These Republicans don't think it's a scam:

Ex-heads of EPA blast Bush on global warming

Republicans, Democrat say president is neglecting environment

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10913795

WASHINGTON - Six former heads of the Environmental Protection Agency — five Republicans and one Democrat — accused the Bush administration Wednesday of neglecting global warming and other environmental problems.

“We need leadership, and I don’t think we’re getting it,” he said at an EPA-sponsored symposium centered around the agency’s 35th anniversary. “To sit back and just push it away and say we’ll deal with it sometime down the road is dishonest to the people and self-destructive.”

All of the former administrators and EPA’s current chief, Stephen Johnson, raised their hands when asked by the event moderator whether they believe global warming is a real problem, and again when he asked if humans bear significant blame.

But agency heads during five Republican administrations, including the current one, criticized the Bush White House for what they described as a failure of leadership.

As Republican presidential candidate Senator McCain puts it,“Suppose we’re wrong, and there’s no such thing as greenhouse-gas emissions, and we adopt green technologies. All we’ve done is give our kids a better planet. But suppose we’re right, and do nothing? Then what kind of a legacy are we handing on to future generations of Americans? I think we ought to frame the debate that way. And I think most, if not all, of the ways that we can address this issue are through profit motive, free-enterprise-system-driven green technologies. General Electric dedicated itself to green technologies, and guess what? They’re still making alot of money.”

McCain is no liberal.  His environmental record ties him at the bottom of all senators, alongside James "Fossil Fuels Gave me $500,000" Inhofe.  

The Republican Party isn't nominating a liberal for the presidency.  Global warming is a bipartisan, global issue.

Answer 11

The antartic ice caps are growing!!!!!

Answer 12

You need to start reading actual scientific literature instead of propaganda.  Then you will see that it has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative or democratic or republican or communist, and everything to do with fact.

Answer 13

When the only POSSIBLE solution scientists considered was chopping U.S. industry off at the knees.

Then when BBC made a bee-line to Bangladesh for interviews of consultants helped clinch ulterior motives.

Just so youd have to be a total heartless b***ard to bring up population control instead of starving consumers into submission.

BBC: theyre most "susceptible"  Susceptible??!! Theyre totally fragile!!

To ANYthing. Why? Because of POPULATION imbalance.  

Oh, theres a handy coincidence.

That they used Bangladesh as the poster-child for ulterior motives?

I won't even say it.  But yes, HOT does spring to mind.

How does overpopulation NOT add to human-caused changes again?

errrm if there were fewer consumers, wouldnt THAT lop off production too?

In every concievable way we hadnt even thought of yet?

Naaaah, that's to much logic and not enough "science".

Answer 14

Al Gore getting the Nobel Peace Prize.

When he flies around the nation to preach his doom and gloom in private jets.

When he owns  home that has a massive carbon foot print.

Than he makes money off carbon credits he is selling.

Also when I post peer reviewed studies and they are all dismiss as in bed with big oil.

The preaching of flourence light blubs to fine out they are going to cause more mercury spills so if one breaks in your home you will need to have hazmat team respond.

The biggest reason I know it is a liberal scam when it snows in Bagadad and that has never happen in recorded history.

Answer 15

This is what made me realize you were the former Iraqi Information Minister...

http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationmini...

I'm glad you found another job with the global anti-science coalition. How's it going for you?

EDIT - Does Asterisk work for you? Is he the deputy minister?

Answer 16

A severe case of syphillis followed by an auto accident that ripped out all of my brain above the brainstem convinced me it was a liberal scam of the worst order.

Answer 17

Global warming is true. how much are we contributing to it remains a question.  The planet naturally heats up and cools down, it's what its been doing since it formed. The earth is never at equillibrium and is constantly changing to try and reach this equilibrium, but too many factors (natural and un-natural) are preventing it. Please do not get your facts from politicians or movies, such as "The Day After Tommorow". Listen to a published geologist. You can find articles online and in mags such as geosciencesworld.gov, or Scientic American. Look at it this way. The world was never built to sustain life for very long, it shifts dramatically too frequently. If you think that the extinction of the dino's is the largest extinction to have occurred your wrong. There has been 4-5 mass extinctions in the past that don't include the dino's. So how exactly are we going to stop global warming? This is an event that has been taking place for billions of years. That would be like stopping the world from spinning. It is way beyond us. So perhaps we need to find different ways of adapting to the ever changing environment of our plant. Genetic manipulation? Now if your argument is simply pollution, well ya, we need to cut that c**p out. The only efficient energy sources we have are fossil fuels and nuclear energy. All of the other alternative energy sources are not efficient to sustain our way of living. We need more research to find a GOOD alternative energy source.

We can possibly slow down global warming, but eventually the system will shift and another extinction will occurr no matter how little or how much pollution we put in the atmosphere.

Oh, and El Nino happens about every 7 years, it doesn’t heat up the earth for 7 years.

Answer 18

Maybe when these guys said this?

"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"

"National Review (the most prestigious conservative magazine) published a cover story calling on conservatives to shake off denial and get into the climate policy debate"

"Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader) 'It is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air.  We really need to do something on fossil fuels.”

"I believe there is now more than enough evidence of climate change to warrant an immediate and comprehensive - but considered - response. Anyone who disagrees is, in my view, still in denial."

Ford Motor Company CEO William Clay Ford, Jr.

"The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now."

James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.

Oops.  That wasn't where you wanted to go, was it?

Answer 19

When I saw the charts on the temperatures over the years:

http://environmentaldefenseblogs.org/cli...

Clearly 0.5 degs above average is within normal temperature ranges, and for 130 years the temps were below normal, meaning that temps had to be higher before the graph started in order to get an average that was higher than the 130 years plotted.

Answer 20

I could not find the CO2 they were talking about. Then I realized that the plants are what is keeping it under control. Gas settles out according to its weight and CO2 is one of the heaviest. If it is on the ground how does it reflect heat back to earth. If there is as much out there it would displace oxygen in the low places and people would be dieing.

    Then Methane gas is very light and explosive. So u can not measure it. They want u to think that there is a large lake of methane in our upper atmosphere. If it were there would been some huge explosions.
