Why do people think global warming is a scam?

Question

I always hear people saying that the government created global warming to scare people or that it is a scam.When in actuality its happening right now...We are actually going through the first stages of global warming..Our planet is going to shift dramaticly,and people think its a scam.I was just wondering if people think that because people are causing it..or if blaming government is just an excuse to not believe it.

The ice caps are melting all over the world has already started expeirencing dramatic weather/temperature change,and several species of ocean life are already becoming extinct.All of the signs of global warning are everywhere...Can someone give me a good explanation of why its a scam?

Answer 1

There is  a lack of understanding of it not enough of the information is put right in view. To convince people all the city buses would require information on Global Warming in place of adds. There would have to be information on the doors of taxicabs, pinned to the doors of colleges, outside and inside The White House,  on the poles of crosswalk lights, information about it on Barrels of oil shipped from The Middle East.

Answer 2

Becasue plants like CO2 the more we have the healthier plants will become, Plants have a cooling effect on the earth. and they produce oxygen, the more oxygen we have the more life we have. Global warming happened before man existed and it will happen again. The earth is much larger and more complicated then man can even begin to comprehend. If you ignore history and think the earth should have the same temperature everyday then you are an ignorant moron. If the earth does want to warm there is nothing we can do about it. just like the dinosaurs didnt have anything to do with the ice age. But it happened anyway.

The earth is changing everyday. It has to warm up and cool down thats what produces seasons and keeps it fresh. otherwise it would not be able to susdtain life. just like the dead sea.  use your own brain and its easy to see the truth on this matter.

Answer 3

What makes you think warming is necessarily bad.  In my opinion, you probably believe so because you have heard so many people suggesting that.  Alarmist never will provide an honest estimate of the benefits of warming.  Think about it before you go with the crowd.  Warming is generally beneficial.  Cooling is catastrophic.  That being said, the science involved in climate change is in its infancy.  Those that pretend to be able to predict the future, can't.  Those that pretend that climates are stable are ignorant.  Those that try to scare people to push a political agenda are dispicable.

Answer 4

Because it's the longest, and coldest winter since 1979 in Chicago with record snowfall.

Government always has some kind of new scare. Look at history!

Answer 5

becaue geroge bush belives in it

Answer 6

Ever heard of the Salem Witch trials, or the inquisition. There have been many movements in the past where people have been prosecuted just because they believed in demons.



So called global warming experts and cult followers are those people who believe in demons. The demons emanate from the modern industrialized world, who are seen to be the destroyers of Mother Earth.

We can’t accurately measure the amounts of CO2 or the percentage of warming due to man in any scientific method. There are just to many variables. No computer model to date will accurately map the amount of water in the air due to evaporation and rain fall.

Its nice to have an intangibles for the government to sign on to. You can’t prove any of this, but you can bet that they will tax your *** off for it.

Answer 7

It's just pure denial.  People don't want to believe we're causing the current warming because it would mean taking responsibility and changing our actions and priorities, and some people don't like change.  They can't argue with the scientific evidence, so instead they come up with conspiracy theories, saying it's all just a scam.  Like most conspiracy theories, this makes no sense, but it allows people to maintain their denial of the reality of the situation.

As Al Gore's film pointed out, that we're altering the Earth's climate is an inconvenient truth.  Some people can't deal with it.

Answer 8

Hey great last name, I'm a Hall too. The reason some people are skeptical on the issue is that the scientific community can't even agree. The earth has gone through many climate changes over the centuries (the Sahara Desert was once an Ocean) but just how much of the present climate change is do to man's mistakes or are naturally occurring is the question that really hasn't been answered yet.

Answer 9

I think you nailed it: it's a convenient excuse not to believe it, due to greed, self-absobtion, or a simple avoidance of responsibility.

It is baffling how people could continue to ignore the preponderence of evidence isn't it?

Answer 10

follow the money!!!

there are lots of $$$ available for global warming "research" - as long as your "research" supports the hyperbole of alGore's Global Warming empire.  how much money do you think guys like Gore are making off of this?

the Earth's weather is purely cyclic - do some research on your own (the data is readily available) and you'll see that we are just following normal weather cycles.  to believe that man is somehow imposing his will on the Earth's weather is not only arrogant, but dangerous.  

again - follow the $$$ and do some of your own research.  you will soon learn the truth.

Answer 11

hey, global warming is 1 of my favorite subjects. they have provent that this time it is not nature, and some1 guy just got the nobel prize for proving that it is actually happening as we speak. I have to say that people are scared to believe something this big. Human beeings have an unspeakable negative effect on the planet but no1 choses to believe it. Govenment? i think most of us are just really unhappy with it, and that is something you can blame on the government. Our kids will experience all of the negative effects we are creating... so really it is any1's opinion

Answer 12

You should keep up with the science news.

NASA now says the ice caps are back to normal and we're possibly going into another cooling cycle.

Since global warming is over, humans didn't cause it and Al Gore and the rest were lying for monetary gain.  Gore is currently being sued for fraud.

That makes it a certified scam.

Answer 13

Because they are too ignorant to understand the scientific facts.

Answer 14

The ice caps are now larger than average and thicker because of the cold climate.  It's winter.  They aren't melting.

No one can predict the future.

Anyone that can tell you they know what the future is going to do is just running a scam.
