Why do people continue to believe in global warming?

Question

Bob found out it was not real so why has everyone else not.

Answer 1

I never believed in it until now- it's the middle of winter and I haven't seen a drop of snow- in an area where lots of snow is the norm.

Answer 2

I would just like to say to everyone that believes in global warming.  If you really want to try to do something about it, try not talking so much...because your polluting the environment with all the carbon dioxide coming out  of your mouth.  I would just like to ask everyone that believes in global warming what the best selling SUV was back in the dinosaur days.

Answer 3

anyone who belives in global warming should come to wisconsin in the next couple days.  tomorrows high is only 5 degrees but the wind chill is -45, i wish global warming did exist, i wouldnt complain.

Answer 4

I don't get it either.  Global warming is totally bogus.  All global warming is, is CO2.

Answer 5

Their leaders haven't told them to think otherwise...

Answer 6

Belief is for people who are putting Faith in something not able to be proved.  People KNOW there is Global warming because it's a real and proven process --  but reality is harder for some to accept than others.

Answer 7

Where do you get your facts from?? What do you mean Bob found out it was not real? This is gossip and childish. How do you know what Bob does or does not believe? I think that this question is against the yahoo rules.

We believe in global warming because it is a reality.

Answer 8

Because climate change is a reality and is happening now.

Answer 9

Because there IS climate change going on. We must believe in that. The Earth has gone dramatic climate change throughout it's time.

What is not true is that humans cause global warming (or cooling, which is coming back into favor). Our efforts are nowhere near what the sun and volcanic and natural activity produces.

Agua-luna's post should be a good indication of WHY there is such an argument. He is using all this discussion to spam this website and sell you stuff.

Examine the situation for a minute and you'll see the hypocrisy of his efforts and claim. The biggest hypocrisy is that he's using the InterNet while claiming to be totally green and not leaving a carbon footprint. Where do you think the energy to keep the InterNet running comes from? The whole thing ain't on windpower. ... and all that computer equipment requires tons of refined metals and petrochemicals.

But, of course, the rules he claims to want for others shouldn't apply to him. Just like Al Gore, he is a leader, and he NEEDS to be use all the energy and expel all that carbon because he is a leader of the movement. Only the rest of the world and all the ignorant peons should be forced to suffer the consequences of going totally green.

Answer 10

Please, please, please. I'm begging you.

Don't take this feel-good cause away from us Liberals. It's just about the last cause we have to champion. We've screwed everything else up.

Back in the '70s we issued dire warnings about nuclear energy that turned out to be bogus. We know you all are still a little miffed about that one. If we had pursued nuclear energy to the same extent as France, we would be energy sufficient and could tell the Middle East to go pound sand.

Then in the 1980s we ridiculed Ronald Reagan's approach to defeating the Soviet Union. We warned that doddering old fool that the Russian economy was actually more robust than ours, and we had Galbraith and Samuelson to back us up. Ok, we were wrong. Our bad.

Then in the 1990s we issued more dire warnings about how the Republican's radical change of welfare authored by Newt Gingrich would devastate the poor, creating caravans of poor, huddled masses leaving the cities en masse to just die alone in the wilderness.

OK, well we exaggerated just a teeny bit on that one, didn't we. Well, all's well that ends well.

Now in the 21st century all we've got left is Global Warming. Please show compassion. Without this, we're going to have to start paying attention to more mundane matters, like improving education, and tighening our borders.

You know what it's like to have to pass boring bills like those through Congress? It's h**l. We'll do anything to let you give us Global Warming. It's fun, and we get to meet Barbra Streisand and Jane Fonda.

Please.... give us just this one crumb. How does giving Ronald Reagan his own "Mount Rushmore" sound?

Answer 11

Ok, first~ WHO IS BOB?

Second~ Global Warming IS real! Do you not care about the animals in the Artic? Do you have a HEART?!? And the reason global warming started was because of US HUMANS! We waste gas and all that. We put trash on the ground. We cut trees down for our selfish reasons and not replaceing (or planting) the trees! We need to stop riding our cars and waste gas! CARPOOL GUYS! OR WALK, RUN, OR RIDE YOUR BIKE! If you HAVE to ride a car, buy Hybrids or GAS SAVING cars! Please visit this site!

Answer 12

People continue to believe it because the overwhelmingly vast majority of experts say it is real. The few that disagree are primarily financed by oil companies, clouding their objectivity and credibility. It is as simple as that.

Answer 13

Uh scientifically it is possible although it might just be "faked in every science book right?" There is a scientific explanation although we don't have tools to really understand (I mean we as normal non-scientists with millions of dollars in grant money) So we just have to believe they're not all lying. But you have to admit its a pretty great lie huh? It's true global warming is there. I don't know who Bob is but he sound like an idiot. Whether or not it's real we're polluting the Earth and taking advantage of it so either way we should stop global warming or no matter how you look it polluting the Earth it's just disrespectful, to us and to the Earth, and to all the animals and everything else.

Answer 14

Answer 15

Perhaps its because many choose not to believe in God and his son Jesus so they fill the void and believe in science instead.

Answer 16

Because its a reality.
