Who Still Believes In Global Warming?

Question

Anyone see Gore get interviewed last night? What a strange man! He said that people who don't believe in Global Warming are like the ones who still believe the earth is Flat! Does this sound like a guy who knows what he is talking about? He's a loon!http://bsimmons.wordpress.com/2008/02/27/temperature-monitors-report-widescale-global-cooling/

Answer 1

The scientists in the 10 national science academies that jointly drafted this statement say it's real:

Joint Statement of Science Academies: Global Response to Climate Change [PDF], 2005

Key Points:

- Climate change is real

- Reduce the causes of climate change

- Prepare for the consequences of

climate change

Yes, Al Gore may be an easy target for ridicule, but that doesn't make the science any less credible (or the people in denial any more intelligent).

Answer 2

AlGore is absolutely PANICKED about the possibility of his losing all those carbon credit dollars.  

His anthropogenic global warming scam is falling apart and he will have to survive on only his $100 million dollar net worth.

Poor guy.  I don't see how he will live more than a couple of months on that paltry sum.

Answer 3

So you're saying that you 'believe' that the Earth is flat?  Do you 'believe' that the Earth is at the center of the Universe?   What part of Science is not in your 'belief' system?  Mans use of fossil fuels for the past 200 years has created global climate change.  No real debate about it! If you don't 'believe' that AGW is real,then why don't all of you get together and hold a protest or a demonstration to let the whole world know that you think Al Gore is a "loon"! What are you afraid of? The cops will not even try to stop you.  How many will show up?  Will you?

Answer 4

In the 1970's we had "global cooling."  A 1,000 foot deep layer of ice was going to cover the Northern United States all the way down to Kansas.  America was smarter then and didn't swallow that junk science, but America has undergone a drastic change in the intelligence department and have come full affront to massive ignorance where a lot of common sense challenged individuals believe anything so long as it's called "science" and is said by a democrat.

Answer 5

you might be under selling mr.core global warmnig is a fact,check out the ice caps,now they may have turned it into a bigger prog then it is at this point but we shall have to see hlf say onething where as the other half clam some-thing else

Answer 6

NO NO NO NO

you got it all wrong

it is Who still does not believe

That is the popular consensus

you have to look at the numbers for statements like that

that is like a Pygmy saying ,we are all short on this planet

Answer 7

He's lost it.  He's just trying to be relevant in a world that no longer needs him.

Answer 8

Actually Al Gore is very intelligent. Believe what you want but, if you do not believe in global warming then you better have a couple really good excuses, like I am deaf, blind, and mentally in denial.

Answer 9

Grant money addicts,Carbon credit racketeers, UN funded stooges, agenda driven politicians, and indoctrinated youngsters.

Answer 10

I don't know that I believe in Global Warming, but I do believe the population of this earth is depleting natural resources and I don't like pollution.

Answer 11

and people say Republicans use scare tactics (Democrats use them too)

Answer 12

Who still believes in global warming?  Just virtually every climate scientist on the planet, as well as about 80% of the human population.  That's all.

Honestly I don't really care what Al Gore says.  He's irrelevant to global warming except that he made the science accessible to the general public.  People who obsess about Al Gore miss the point entirely.

Answer 13

i believe in Global Warming because i feel it.

Answer 14

He should include some of the IPCC scientists in his "flat earthers".  The concensus there is that significant AGW is most probably happening.  It's only the activists that claim it is a certainty.

These researchers who are saying it is "most probably" real are the same ones who would be out of a job or at least out of a research grant if they didn't say it was "most probably" happening.

(edit) mxmm

Oh mxmm - are you in for a surprise.  Many scientists are accusing the IPCC of not considering the physics of infrared absorption of CO2 because CO2 just couldn't do it.  Check out the link, especially the zip files of responses to the Dr Heing Hug paper.  These scientists are slagging off at each other so much they could teach Ememen a bit about trash talking.  

So the IPCC guys have a few valid points about the limitations of Hug's techniques, but they aren't about to make their own calculations public - they're all top secret.

Answer 15

There is no question the earth is getting hotter on average (Global Warming), or at least the majority of scientist agree on this (on long and recent short term time scale).

The question is, in my view, whether global warming is man made and/or controllable or just a trend that the earth will undergo regardless.

I've heard both arguments and both seem to have their strong points, although I intuitively feel (I am not an expert on this) that the man-made theory is a tad bit stronger (the math and physics of it). In a nutshell, the relationship between the amount of CO2 in the environment and elevation in temperatures on earth is hard to put aside, specially since I doubt there is any debate on the actual physics of what we call Green House gases. Simply put, the greater the amount of greenhouse gases are present in the atmosphere, the more pronounced the "green house" effect will be. You can compare it with your house I guess, more insulation means better temperature isolation from the outside.

Answer 16

You said it, 'what a strange man'.

Just look at him....'nuff said.

Answer 17

Yes he is a loon.  He really has nothing to do with Global Warming except he's made a little political capital out of it.  I think he's actually harmed the scientists and others who are concerned about the problem.
