Why hasn't the global warming scam gone away yet?

Question

With all the supposed proof dwindling away and the Earth's temperatures dropping; why is this scam still in existence?

Answer 1

Because it's a fact that we've destroyed our earth. The earth will heal itself when we're all gone. The fortunate part is that now that there is public awareness, we can extend our stay.

Answer 2

Wow, you are ignorant.  "Global warming" itself may not seem like a threat, but the climate is still changing.  There is a graph based on scientific fact called the Hockey Stick Curve.  It goes back thousands of years using actual record when available and estimated data when it is not.  The estimated data is found because of the variation in temperature between the Earth's surface and underground.  The sun heats up the surface and how long it takes deeper areas to warm determines climates chang.  When all of this data is plotted, it is evident that climate change does occur naturally.  For example, the Earth did have an ice age and thaw from it.  However, there is quite a spike (like the blade in a hockey stick) ironically when the Industrial Revolution occurred.  Coincidence?  I think not.  Even if it is a coincidence, should we still abuse our planet like we have been?

Answer 3

Hahahahaha...this is so funny!Right im 17 and I know its obviously just a scam!Like if people actually cared about the environment(like me) they would actually go any look this stuff up off of people that actually know whats going on, and not just people who claim the earths climate is changing all cause of humans and CO2 emissions etc..!

The one thing I hate about when your having a dicussion with somebody about this is when they completely dimiss your opinion,even though it is actually true!Like the majority of people who answered this question before me..

I just think that it is typical that something like this happened,like ok i do care about the environment alot and think that you should help it,eh recycling etc but people going arnd going on about global warming annoys me as they obviously know nothing about it..!!!

This is just a classic example of how humans, yet again, are been decepted my other humans..like Hitler leading on the germans..religions...etcs...

..people mostly just accept what they are been taught or told and that is how crazy scams like this come about!

(phew, glad to get that off of my chest!ha)

Answer 4

Too much money to be made.

But we should all be very concerned about our childrens future and what we are leaving them.

Answer 5

Um....because it's REAL - duh!

Yea, the polar ice caps are melting and the water levels are rising because the earth is DROPPING in temperature, uh-huh!

Answer 6

It sits nicely along the Religion Scam doesn't it.

Only one important difference, the former has fact to base ones opinion and beliefs upon.

Whatever one believes with respect to mans contribution to polluting the skies and earth, we are on borrowed time until a major catastrophe bellows the inner earths gases into the skies and from which there will be no return.

I'd like to know the percentage of pollutant a major volcanic eruption would discharge.

Answer 7

Public Education

Answer 8

Because global warming is REAL!!! Why would Al Gore be spending millions of dollars to make a documentary about something that is fake!? Global warming is a real problem with real solutions!! It isn't  a scam, its reality and you are obviously in denial severely!!!

Answer 9

I had to dig pretty deep to find a good answer to that one in my research.  I'd share it with you in a New York minute if I thought you had an open mind.  I don't like walking into closed doors.

That said, I'll toss you 5 of my favorite sites.  I have about 25 favorite sites, and have examined them fairly well, including the links.

It's not a scam.  It's not a hoax.

This is your life.  By the way, as of today, the world population was 6,665,179,329.  That's a lot of lives to risk, on the off chance that you're wrong.  In the next few decades, that number will rise substantially.

If you look hard enough, you'll probably find the answers to your questions on one of the sites below.  If not, there's 20 more excellent sites where those came from.

We're all  in this together, kiddo.

Answer 10

Their working over time to come up with a new and better scam.

Answer 11

K, you don't beleive it? Fine.

But dont judge OTHER peoples REAL SCIENCE PROVEN opinions because you think your right.

Answer 12

It has not gone away because the media still runs it daily. People don't think for themselves they believe what they are told without questioning anything. It take real wisdom to think for yourself and do some investigation on your own. People who believe will, years from now, tell all their friends how they never believed it and how those who did were fools.

The AWG myth will end soon enough, now if we could stop liberalism (ie.socialism) that would make the world a better place.

Answer 13

i think the experts would disagree with you on that.

BTW this is my favroute quote of yours.

"Funny, I wish I could extend this question but Ethanol was supposed to be all that... Apparently it is not. Of course the plants that produce it absorb CO2 but it burns and exhausts CO2, right? So, what is the primary product of fermentation? You got it again... CO2... So, alarmists with their BIO FUELS are actually putting more carbon in the atmosphere than fossil fuels. Seriously, do the math....."

think before you type or at least learn how to balance equashions. CO2 in equals CO2 out. there is no magic way to make matter.

edit 2

first learn to balance equashions before ranting.

6(CO2)+6(H2O) => C6H12O6

C6H12O6    ====>   2(CH3CH2OH)      +        2(CO2)

2CH3CH2OH + O2 => 4(CO2)+ 6(H2O)

net effect zero CO2 released. ie you can not create matter.  again you seem to lack basic scientific skills.

Answer 14

well the answer is that there is alot of stuff that contributes to global warming that has nothing to do with man anyways, like volcanos and ocean currents, alot of different factors.

if you go back even a few hundred years you will see how there were pretty amazing climate events directly related only to natural ocurrances, even in the north american continent, there was recently (a hundred, two hundred) years ago a "year with no summer"  

go back even farther, look at the evidence and there has always been pretty dramatic climactic shifts, either long term or short term, the shift is to either a cooler or a warmer climate, and the entire environment changes, and then changes back again.  

however, the media and so forth will have it's bias, but read any high school textbook and you will see how while burning fossil fuels and so forth is certainly not helping our planet, there are much greater forces in play unrelated to our actions.

so we should treat nature with respect, do no further harm, but be prepared for change.

the only immutable aspect of our planet is CHANGE.

Answer 15

It hasn't gone away because people were told to believe in something and they obeyed. Don't get me wrong, I love the environment, I love conservation efforts and renewable enerygy, but I think it's sick how these people who claim to be scientists can scare you into believing something that has been proven not to be real.

Answer 16

I think the reason that some people mistakenly  think it is a myth, and that continues to go around, is politically the Republicans, and mainly the Bush administration, has tried lying to portray it's a myth is only because they have created some of the problems and basically done nothing to fix it. They have fired and removed their own scientists for reporting the dangers of it, and to go farther to try and cover it up they discredited Al Gore's work on it, which is not a political issue, except for the truth which is this is real it's happening and Bush administration has done NOTHING to help and more to hurt the situation. Don't choose to be an idiot on this, watch The national geographic channel, and you will be enlightened.

Answer 17

b/c some people arent taking it seriously

YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ISN'T A JOKE THERE'S A REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE DOING ALL THIS ..TO YOU WORKING LABOR. THIS HAS BEEN ON THE NEWS AND EVERYWHERE, EEVERN STORES WHY WOULD YOU THINK ITS A SCAM IF YOU THINNK ITS A F**** SCAM GO HIDE IN A BOX AND NEVER COME OUT CHANCES ARE WELL ALL BE DEAD BY THE TIME YOU GET A FRECIAN BOX BECUASE PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE IDIOTS AND ONLY CARE ABOUT THEM SELVES AND NOT ANYONE ELSE AKA YOUR FAMILY, AND FREIDNS (OH WAIT YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY FRIENDS) BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE THOUGHTFUL ARE TAKING A RISK.. AT TRYING TO  SURVIVE

Answer 18

It comes from the Joseph Goebbels line of thinking "when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous."

  Now, many are risking looking ridiculous, and their only option is to keep saying it.  With repetion, more people are believing it.  

  It's Orwellian, if everyone believes it, it must be true, in spite of the facts.  

  In 1984, I thought Orwell was a loon.  Now I understand the year was not relevant, because once you have submitted to the lies, it could be any year they tell you it is and I see how feverishly people are working to rewrite history, even yesterday.

Answer 19

I have no doubt that it IS happening, but we are still wasting trillions of dollars on researching a stupid, harmless (and actually slightly helpful) little thing that is 95% naturally caused anyway.

Answer 20

It has not gone away because the ones perpetrating the lie are still making millions off the pigeons! Until the pigeons become wise and stop falling for it then they will continue to steal their money! I hate it that these scam artists have made it so I am going to have to buy their stupid florescent lights!!!

Answer 21

The minions have to have a cause or they lives would have no purpose.

Answer 22

Pyramids are still around and pyramids are illegal. Global warming promises easy money, it's a huge growth industry, and even hardcore environmentsalists will not poo that away.

Al Gore pays his own company the penalty he must pay if he wants to pollute. And a lot of others pay Al Gore's company to be able to pollute too.

As they say in the Gogfather "nothing personal - it's just business. And if you're not getting, you're a universal donor. Then someone other than you knows where you need to spend your money.

Did you actually think this stupidity,  so irrational they can't describe its symptions because hot and cold and rain and drought are all bad signs and definate proof they are right, is about science. How can they know when its over? How can they know it has even began?

Answer 23

Because environmentalism is not based on reason, it is a religious cult.  Like all religious fanatics, these cultists choose to ignore reality when it conflicts with the tenets of their faith.

As for that infamous "hockey stick" graph, that was exposed as a fraud by researchers at the University of Toronto a couple of years ago.  They took the computer model used to produce the graph, substituted the temperature input with various sets of random numbers and got the same graph every time.

Answer 24

It hasn't gone away because there is still money to be made and the scammers can smell it.

They wont stop until they can no longer convince the gullible class to spend other peoples money to solve the non-existant problem that is AGW.

They will stop pushing the theory when there is no more money to be made off it and not a minute sooner.

Answer 25

It might not be a scam!

Answer 26

because it isn't a scam, unfortunately.

if you really look into it instead of ignoring it, you will realize that there is no possible way that global warming IS NOT happening.

it is.

i do realize that people are making a lot of money off of it..

but wont turning off your lights when you leave a room save YOU money?

wont saving water help YOU out?
