Question

When did you discover that global warming was a scam?

Answer 1

Maybe everyone should listen to Neal Boortz. I dont have time to investigate everything on my own so thank God there are people to do it for me. I was shocked to hear they take temp. readings from boxes that have lights in them right by the thermastat, or that they take temp. at the airport while jets are taking off right by the thermastats. Then the one that shocked me the most was hearing how many scientist dont even believe in global warming. The owner of the weather channel ,who is a meteroligist, does not believe in global warming. I do feel like we shouldnt go around throwing c**p on the ground, because number one I dont want to look at it, and less emissions would be nice because I dont want to breath nasty air, but I feel like we are part of earth and earth has a way of taking care of it's self. Just like beavers tearing down trees and bears shitting in the woods. It all disappears or makes something grow. God changes us every day. Last year we had no apples on our apple tree. It had nothing to do with global warming the freaken beetles ate the c**p out of the tree. This year it rained more in enough time for the trees to grow before the beetles got them. How nice ,thats what God wanted and how mother nature works. She gets rid of all of the earths creatures **** (that includes our ****) and we move on. But global warming is a good way to charge disposal fees and up the price of electricity and all the other charges and taxes we pay. Oh so anyhow to answer your question in a simple answer incase thats what you wanted.....about a year ago.

Answer 2

It really didn't become a "scam" until it was hijacked to further the socialists' goals.  Before such time, it was merely a fringe scientific theory.  I believe the most obvious example of its use as a scam would have to be:

Answer 3

Watching Al Gore's movie I noticed some errors.  The biggest, most obvious to me was his claim that the polar bears are dying off.  He showed and commented on only one population in northern Manitoba, which was in decline but failed to mention any of the other twelve major ones where they have stayed the same or were increasing in numbers.  I couldn't believe that someone "documenting" the environment would make such a mistake so decided it must have been deliberate.  Since then I don't believe a word he or his missionaries have to say.  We have lots of lefties here in Canada too so I'm pretty used to deception but I didn't expect it from him in such an arrogant manner.

Answer 4

when the old people said the weather was hotter or colder  50 years ago

Answer 5

What's the scam about?

Answer 6

Kind of a loaded question, isn't it?  Global warming itself  is not a scam. It exists, but the cause of it is debated.  It has happened several times before in the history of this planet, but long before man was around.  That's why people question if we have anything to do with it right now.  The debate is really whether we are unnaturally accelerating the process.  The concern about global warming has been around for years, long before Al Gore.  The challenge against the idea that we have much effect on global warming had been more scientific and less political, until recently.  Now, it seems to be the other way around.  The belief that global warming is a "scam" is a relatively recent phenomenon.  That's probably due, in part, to the popularity of Gore's film.  So, if you truly believe it's a scam, you can, in an odd way, thank Gore for spurring on folks like you to claim as much.

ADD (after looking at everybody's answer the next day--hey, I was curious!):  I have as much skepticism over the idea that it's all a scam as I do that we are going to face global catastrophe in the next few years.  Reactionary thinking, in either case, won't get us anywhere.  But who am I to make such a claim?  I'm just a lowly English teacher.  Speaking of which, some of you need to proof read.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to do other stuff besides YA.  It's a little hot in here, anyway.

Answer 7

The instant hippies started being taken seriously about anything

Answer 8

Wake up and save your children, someday they will blame you for your folly. Anyone that thinks that G. W. is not real will get the opportunity you watch there children die. I hope.

Answer 9

I haven't done enough research on the subject to make such a judgement. What's your reasoning?

Answer 10

"Anyone that thinks that G. W. is not real will get the opportunity you watch there children die. I hope."

Those sound like the words of a brainwashed radical!  What other kind of person would say they hope to see children die--and have their parents watch??

Edit: You altered your quote (adding the part about saving the children)--what a coward!!!  It's still an evil quote--just like the one about the Jews not burning well enough!

Answer 11

If you mean man-made global warming, a few years ago.

The AGW believers are decreasing in number every day as the truth about the hoax is slowly revealed.

You can only fool people for so long before they find out what's going on.

Answer 12

Blah,  Global wamring.....Blah.....Blah.....Luv Gore, Blah Blah

Wait, sorry,

You're right......I take it all back.

Answer 13

The very first day they started it up because I was already well aware of this type of thinking from my studies of world and societal history. Also my grandfather had taught me about this kind of con artists and religious radicals because our family had suffered grievously from their attacks over the centuries. Also from reading and understanding the bible this organization is based on which is called limits to growth published by the billionaire boys club know as the club of Rome.

When knowledgeable people laughed their heads off at the errors of logic contained in this book they began looking for and developing an easier to sell pogrom they real suckers would bite on even if educated people would readily reject its nonsense. They first tried the new ice age is coming if we do not stop using fossil fuels to power our society and then caused the big 1973 oil embargo scam right along with it get raise prices and gather funds to promote the scam with. Well that flopped big time even though they made a lot of money from it.

They have tried a number of other variations on the technology s bad oil is good for you theme over the last 30 years but their most profitable one up until they developed the AGW scam was the anti nuclear one that has kept the nation dependent on oil, coal and natural gas generation while we should have been building clean nukes instead,

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Answer 14

Sean Hannnity said so, right after he was talking about how great the economy is doing under George W. Bush.

Answer 15

When I saw Al Gore's home, and his jet, and his electric bill, and his big fat carbon footprint, and that he's made $100 million so far with his "carbon credits".

All of you who are still buying this garbage need to relax - I recommend that you start taking it seriously when Al starts taking it seriously.

Answer 16

the only scam is that our leaders would have us believe 'man' can control the environment. global warming and ice ages are facts of life on this world. weather we participate or not

Answer 17

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!????? OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!!! GLOBAL WARMING IS 100% REAL! DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT PLACES THAT WERE COVERED IN ICE ABOUT 50-80 YEARS AGO ARE NOW COMPLETELY MELTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????? POLAR BEARS ARE DYING BECAUSE THE ICE IS MELTING, BECAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING!!!!! IT IS NOT A SCAM!!! YA, PEOPLE ARE REALLY GOING TO MAKE MORE MONEY BY USING LESS POWER!!! COME ON!! THINK ABOUT IT! IF ANYTHING THE COMPANIES ARE GOING TO LOSE TONS OF  MONEY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE REUSING STUFF INSTEAD OF BUYING NEW, AND ELECTRIC COMPANIES ARE LOSING MONEY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT USING AS MUCH ENERGY!!!!!!! DUH!!!! GET A CLUE!!! YOU THINK ABOUT THAT ONE, SMARTIE!

Answer 18

When I learned the teacher of record for global warming is the elementary school teacher in our public schools. It is a brainwashing job that I hope makes this generation refuse to pay their grandparents retirement and disability checks and let the liberals return to work on a wind farm or construct grass huts with no heat in which to live.  Turn their homes over to the government for redeployment to young people who want to have fun and do not care about Climate Change, until proved to an absolute degree of scientific certainty.

Answer 19

Global warming is very much true and has been proven just no one is really listening.  Al gore made a documentary of this phenomenon proving that global warming is in effect as we speak with pictures of Icebergs 20 years ago versus the puddle that they are today.  And for the people who say that global warming is a natural thing and not human induced, then i say your right global warming is a natural cycle that happens.  But the fact is that since the start of the industrial revolution or enviornments Carbon Dioxide and Monoxide levels have TRIPLED then normal peak levels of the natural global warming cycle.  As of 2008 it has Quadroopled. So global warming is true, i suggest you and everyone else start doing theyre digging because this is a problem, and just like the crude oil prices... Our government seems like theyre just leaving us to fry

Answer 20

Never, because it's not a scam.

Answer 21

I do not consider Global Warming to be a scam.

However I do consider Global Warming to be a much lower priority than feeding our families and raising our children.

With gasoline at prices well over $4.00 per gallon in many parts of the country that is breaking the budgets of many families.

How do people get to work when they have to drive 50 to 100 miles each way to get to work from their homes and back?

that destroys the family budget.

Telling people who commute to work 50 to 100 miles each way, that they should be riding bicycles instead is crazy.

Telling people to ride bicycles in the rain is crazy.

I know my friends who keep telling us that we should not drive cars are delighted with the high gasoline prices because they think that will force us out of our cars.

Actually the only thing that high gasoline prices accomplish is to destroy The American Dream for millions of American families.

Of course that also delights many of my friends who think that we should not be driving  cars and that most people do not deserve to live The American Dream, with the possible exceptions of elitists like Al Gore and John Kerry, not to mention Barack Obama.

Unfortunately many of my friends are idiots.

Answer 22

I had my doubts from the beginning, because the motivations were so transparent. But, for a while, during the 90's, there was a some genuine warming, so it became a valid question whether human activity was the cause. So I researched it and reached the same conclusion as everybody else who took an objective look at the science behind global warming. There has been no warming since 1998, and I choose not to accept politically motivated revisions of past data. Now, with two years of serious cooling under our belt, the revisionists really have their work cut out for them. Eventually, I suppose they'll switch to "The Ice Age is Coming and It's All Our Fault!"
