Who else thinks that Global Warming is a bunch of c**p?

Question

Just so you know, the man that started the weather chanel even thinks that it's unrealistic. He says that the earth's temperature has even gone down. I can understand the affects of the natural climate of the earth, and sure, it might be changing. As far as man made Global Warming, that's about as believable as anything said by Al Gore.

Answer 1

No it is definitely real, just look at all the unpredictable weather including hurricanes, and tornadoes.  is this attitude that prevents any positive changes from occurring

Answer 2

I understand your point of view, and I don't like Al Gore either, so anything he does I'm going to be skeptical about.  And I don't like for all the whiners and complainers out there to have more fuel, which global warming gives them.

However...global warming is strongly backed by science.  It's not even that complicated, and the data is pretty overwhelming.  Take a few chemistry coures in college and you'll know enough to understand it pretty well.  Everyone who is informed on the subject accepts that it is real, and these are very smart people.

Global warming is real, just try and look at the facts and don't let the complainers get to you.

Answer 3

Me!!! Tell the Europeans that and they won't believe you.

Answer 4

Global warming, global cooling, or what ever you call it has always happened and always will happen. Though the amount that man has affected global temperatures is very small compared to what natural phenomenas affect global temperatures like volcanoes etc.

Answer 5

I'm impressed that there are actually folks out there that understand the insanity of 'Pop Science'...Climate Change is cyclical and unpredictable, CO2 has a minimal greenhouse impact when compared to Water Vapor...and the greenhouse effect is a good thing...the total amount of Water on the planet is a constant...Liquid/Ice/Gas(water vapor), water is in constant flux between these states, and if all the Ice does melt..(which is highly unlikely)..and we lose the West and East coast, is there really a problem with that? :=)

Answer 6

We have nothing to do with it. Global warming is natural.

Answer 7

I'm not sure what to believe anymore...my dad doesn't believe in it at all, but there are so many people that firmly believe in it...I don't think everyone could be that naiive...

Answer 8

global climate change is real, man made global climate change however is a myth.

Answer 9

The reason I am skeptical about it is because it is being sold so hard and with such a sense of urgency and the scientists who raise questions about the theory are summarily dismissed as something equivalent to Holocaust deniers.

The rush to pour a lot of money into biofuels certainly illustrates that people are liable to believe scientific claims before they've been adequately researched. Even those who believe carbon emissions cause global warming say that repaying the carbon "debt" with biofuels will take centuries. Sounds like a failure of a solution for a problem which supposedly requires urgent action. Meanwhile, grain prices are through the roof and poor Haitians are eating mud. (This, btw is a real problem as opposed to the pretend problem of polar bears drowning.)

As for those who say it only takes a fairly novice understanding of chemistry to understand the theory, I might agree. However, how much other qualification might it take to scrutinize the collection of the data and other methods the researchers of this subject have used? There remain so many unanswerable questions about whether or not the scope of data available to man can answer the question of whether or not this phenomenon is man made?

It also doesn't help that the type of people leading the charge come from one side of the political spectrum, the side that is an advocate of socialist-style government. Pro-climate change government policy proposals will cripple our economy and give untold power to government bureaucrats. All for claims which are beginning to look more and more dubious to scientists who investigate them further.
