Why are there still non-believers of Global Warming?

Question

With the recent reports from the International Global Climate Commitee (IGCC) confirming Ice mass loss in the Arctic, the press release by the EU climatology Center stating that CF carbons are the highest EVER!!! and Dr. Robert C. Galinger's independent study proving that the CO2 emmisions produced by fossile fuel burning is in direct corralation to the high levels of Sylon gases, and CF carbon levels in the lower ozaone layers of the Earth. How can anyone doubt that this is fact??

Answer 1

Same reason there are still non-believers in god.

Answer 2

What do you say you put your scientists against our scientists in a debate. If AGW is such a sure thing the alarmists would win with no problems, right?  

Answer 3

~ fear.......

Answer 4

because many people think that since the weather is changing its not global warming its also its just weather fluxuations wich is just a variation of weather patterns, because last year was one of the hottest and dryest years in a really long time, but this year was one of the biggest snowfalls on record, and the ice caps have seasons wen the ice dissappears from one point of the earth it goes to the other point, also people think its just patterns because the even if it gets hot, the hotter it gets the faster rain and moisture gets evaporated wich means the faster it will fall down causing more vegitation to grow wich stabelizes the atmosphere starting the pattern all over again.

Answer 5

because no matter what arguments you have for global warming, there are always facts that dissprove them

Answer 7

Lets see, in the past billion years we have had probably a million GLOBAL WARMING periods, we are supposed to believe that this particular GLOBAL WARMING is man made - what a laugh!

In our recent past, during the Middle Ages, our Earth was even warmer then than it is now.  This "warmer environment occurred during that time without any automobiles and with billions fewer people!   How can this be???

When glaciers melt in Europe they disclose ancient settlements beneath the ice, this proves that the land was warmer a long time ago, so warm that human beings could exist there.   No Suv's, no petro fuel being used, how did the Earth get warm back then - duhhhh, it was a normal cycle - not man made!

For every scientist that that makes a "sky is falling" claim about the environment there are just as many that exist to debunk it!

Did you ever wonder why environmentalists started calling global warming "climate change?"  It was because the earth did not get as warm as these scientist said it would!

Don't worry about the earth getting warmer, it has been warmer in our past and this is normal!  Warmer earth means a longer growing season for food production. Remember 20,000 years ago North America was covered by ice, our last big ice age, that ice melted all by itself without any help from man or Suv's!   Our climate changes are normal, a cycle Earth goes through from time to time!  

(The production of meat products causes more harm to the environment than fossil fuel burning cars!  Meat production means raising hogs, cows, sheep, goats, chickens and whatever for humans to eat.  Their farts are more dangerous to our ozone (if that is a real problem) than burning petro fuels!  Really into this environmental stuff then you ought to give up eating meat products right now!)

Answer 8

Yes, USA is one of them.

Answer 9

I've been and seen many scares throughout the years, and most of it has been about the environment.  First, it was that we were headed toward another ice age because the fossil fuels we're burning is putting particulates into the air, blocking the sun.  The reason this came up were the frequent and deep snow falls we used to get.

Then came the catalytic converter, which environmentalists wanted on all cars.  These devices convert a car's exhaust into carbon dioxide and water.  Now for some reason, cars are the bane of environmentalists, because C02 is what they wanted.  

Next came acid rain, whatever happened to that, did we solve the problem?  Then there was holes in the ozone, so we had to stop using a perfectly good refrigerant, for a more expensive, less effective one. Haven't heard much about the holes in the ozone for a long time.  Did we solve the problem, or are we being kept busy with "climate change."

Mixed all that was Y2k where all the world's computers were supposed to simultaneously crash and send us back to a pre-industrial age.  It was even called a "bug" when it was simply a programming workaround.  Then we had the frequent and vague color coded "terrorist alerts."  Which were turning into a joke.

There was a time when I believed global warming, until I read about some tribes in Africa that used animal dung for fuel.  The smoke would fill their huts and many had respiratory problems.  These people knew that if they could have an electric generator, they could cook food and have light, and be more healthy.  The people of the tribe asked for this generator, but when some environmentalists heard about it, they stepped in and somehow blocked the tribe from getting this generator.  Reason?  This generator would contribute to global warming.  

So at the expense of the tribal peoples' health, they did not get the generator.  Instead, it's apparently better for the Earth to burn piles of smoke-producing bull p**p, which is what this global warming thing has turned into all along.    

Answer 10

as long as we have summer season there will always be snow and ice meltin

Answer 11

The earth has been heating and cooling all throughout history, but liberals have decided to invent a crisis so they can make money on this "eco friendly" c**p.

Answer 12

It's IPCC.

Most people believe - know - that the temperature warmed a modest amount during the 20th century.

The questions are whether that was man-made, whether it will resume, and whether it is catastrophic.

There's no poof of any of those.

Answer 13

bc ppl are llazy and have their own busy lives and they do whatever is easier and conveinient for them. ppl need to start going out of their way just a little to help save the next generations and even ourselves here on earth  

Answer 14

likely because they don't want it to be true.

maybe they're afraid someone will take their SUV away.

or pass a gas guzzler tax.  (good idea, btw.)

maybe their favorite political person says it's not true.

and there's no way that person could be wrong.

maybe they think it's a plot to take all their money?

maybe they think that all the american jobs will go overseas if the US really addresses global warming.

lots of reasons.

none of which is actually supported by science.

Answer 15

The question is wrong. Most people believe in Global warming; however, where there is major disagreement is what is the cause and effects, if any, of global warming, and what, if any, could we do to stop it? As someone who was told during school that we are entering an ice age, I know for fact that the planet’s temperature is constantly in flux. Second, if we are experiencing warming, is it an amount that we should be concerned about? And if so, would we be able to stop and reverse it? First, I don’t believe a degree of change is something to be concerned about and it’s certainly not something that we can fix. I am all for clean air, but fear mongering is not productive.

Answer 16

Because rational thinking people know that there's at least two sides to every story and blindly following one and ignoring facts and figures that prove otherwise makes you a fool.  

Answer 17

I am a non believer of global warming. I grew up in the 70's and they had us scared of the world freezing over. Now the scientists are talking about global warming.  Could that be the publish or parish syndrome of scientists?  I do however believe in climate change.  What horrid things did the caveman do to cause the total death count of the dinasaur?  Hmm. climate change.
