Answer 1

THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING!!!! GORE MADE AN INFORMATIONAL FILM ABOUT IT!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! 2 MUCH CARBON DIOXIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Because the political movement is playing of peoples just concerns about the economy and pollution and using it to drive their party into total control of the government. A similar program of lies and applied advertising put some really bad dictators into office back in the 20s and 30s. What we are clearly seeing is a similar use of outright lies and distorted reality to drive a political program. What I find the most interesting is they are now denying that the contamination found in USA temperature records could also be true of international records that were handled by the same people.

Eventually a lot of people who now feel they are above the law are going to stand before a judge and answer with jail time for their crimes against the nation and the world.

Answer 3

The simple answer to your main question is that it is true.

I can't understand why there are still some people who do not believe this.

As for your other questions/statements:

Al Gore has very little to do with GW, especially outside the USA. His name comes up an awful lot but I don't know why - he has very little to do with GW. As to the myth that he is making money of GW... some sort of proof or supporting data would be nice; I never see anything to justify this claim.

It is possible that he, like millions of others, have invested wisely in businesses that are making money in the GW industry just as if he had invested in oil companies that make money in the energy industry - straighforeard capitalism based on a free market; if this is a scam then the entire US economy is based on scams!

"there is no proof to man made climate change" - this isn't even a myth; it's a simple falsehood. There's loads of proof just a few people are in denial and refuse to accept the proof.

"yes there is a split about 50-50 half of the scintists belive it half dont"

another falsehood. If you flick through this forum you will find many, many sources for all the scientists who support AGW and only a few, non-credible sources for people (usually not climate scientists) who deny it.

Honestly, you have to ask yourself:

If over 80% of the people on this planet think GW is a cause for concern and that man is wholly or partially responsible for it, is it not possible that it is not a scam, but the truth? It's certainly a smpler answer than looking for conspiracy theories spreading the entire globe or assuming that the vast majority of people are stupid.

Answer 4

It actually has a lot to do with global warming happening (and a lot more than half the world's scientists accept that it's happening).

Answer 5

Kind of like when one of my six dogs start barking, even though no one is there, they all start barking anyway. Same concept here.

The polar ice caps are from the ice age. Of course they are melting. They have been since it ended.

Answer 6

r u kidding me....go on google and look up global warming.. its reall trust me dumb'dumb

Answer 7

I think if there is any chance of a problem at all then there is a problem.

Its not hard to make changes which help the environment, so if even at the end of the day there is no problem at least we can make the atmosphere a cleaner place.

simple.

Answer 8

It happens because so many schools (high school & college) are funded through left wing collaborations and then must teach only one view. If a teacher doesn't go along and tries to teach the opposite (of what the left wants to be taught) then that teacher is disciplined and/or fired. This isn't just for global warming, it also occurs in many other subjects too. So, for many people they believe it because it is the only way that they have been taught. Liberals don't want people to think on their own. They want them to just think/do/believe anything they say even if there is plenty of proof to the contrary....

Answer 9

Because it's been scientifically proven, and not by Gore.

EVERY major scientific organization says global warming is real and mostly caused by us.  It's hardly a "50-50" split among scientists.

Why is it deniers are always the ones to bring up Gore?  What he says or does has NOTHING to do with the proven fact of global warming.

Answer 10

Because most people are grossly uneducated and ill-informed.  They'll buy just about anything.  And they love to be frightened.

Answer 11

How can one man perpetrate a wold wide phenomenon like the "myth " of global warming?  How can one man start world wide governmental change on the way that emissions are produced and controlled? How can one man be responsible for government policy on greenhouse gases? The answer is, he couldn't. The issue was around long before anyone knew who Al Gore was. The problem has just become so bad that it is just now getting recognition.

The polar bears and penguins know the truth, if there is no global warming then how do you explain the melting of the polar ice? How do you explain the worldwide shift in climate?

Oh, by the way, that BIG hole in the ozone layer didn't get there by itself! Do some research.

Answer 12

Even if global warming isn't what's happening, it can't be good to be putting so much junk into the atmosphere.  I don't see anything wrong with "going green".

Answer 13

Gore & Company have done a masterful job of manipulating the politics and media avenues of s-called 'Man-Did-It' global warming.  Most Americans believe anything they read or hear from the media.  That movie for which Gore was the narrator was genius in its ability to side-step the truth and sell countless millions of naive viewers on the coming doom of global warming.

Unfortunately, our media has very few REAL journalists anymore.  They are only concerned with viewership and the advertising revenues associated with it, and they will 'pimp' for anything that will bring in big $$$.

The really sad thing is that Gore & Co. are brainwashing our young children with what amounts to nothing more than his selfish, scientific baseless agenda.

Answer 14

I do believe that going green and talking about environmental is great for marketing strategies and mixes. I am a marketing student, myself. I cannot say that I believe or do not believe in Global Warming- I am mixed on this subject and have no real knowledge about it scientifically. What I can say is that I absolutely detest the way certain individuals treat the planet! I think, putting Al Gore and his subject of GW aside, that we must do something to help preserve our planet. We are making oil companies rich, because we drive the wrong cars. We make electricity companies rich by wasting energy. PLUS, people simply do not care for recycling in most countries. I am a US citizen and I moved to Germany about 2 yrs ago. I hated their recycling system and energy saving techniques, but believe me THEY WORK and save people money. Let's not be ignorant. Perhaps, GW doesn't exist, but pollution and poverty does. I hope you make the right decisions. Do not be afraid to educate yourself about making these changes either.  

Answer 15

So which one don't you believe?   First you say there is no global warming, then you say there is no man-made climate change, thus admitting there might be global warming that is not caused by humans.    

I would guess people believe in global warming because when Glacier bay was first sailed by, there was no bay there; it was full of glaciers.    Glacier park in Montana used to have over 100 glaciers in it, now it has less than 20 and will have none within another 25 years.

Answer 16

Yes, it's a scam.  Al Gore is using it to manipulate the masses and they are flocking sheepishly to him as planned.  The idea of scientists agreeing with global warming is weird.  I think that as in any other walk of life science has it's corrupt side.  The scientific organizations that officially back global warming get far more money than those who don't.  Some, like the IPCC are set up by organizations that tell them what results are expected.
