Why is Global Warming a Hoax?

Question

Some people claim it's not true. I'd like to know why they think this? Proof?

Answer 1

I don't believe that that is what they really believe or know, but rather something they want or choose to think. I also think that there are people out there that will go out of their way to be ignorant. I, for myself, know very well where I stand, and I'm prepared. I won't be caught off guard like them, and maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. Let them be ignorant. Maybe the less ignorant will survive, and take over the earth. And the earth will then become a cleaner and better place to live for the people who respect the earth. People have survived ice ages before. Let's hope that the ones who deserve to live on this globe will be the ones next time. Hey, those republicans out there ought to like that, right. Survival of the fittest , and to h**l with the other guy,  right? Maybe they'll just get their wish this time, and they'll get to taste their own medicine. But, don't be fooled. Mother earth is still boss. Thank God for that. I can think of nothing graeter than our earth, the only thing that's really real. If I had to choose between this man made civilization and Gods good clean and beautiful nature, they can all keep their civilization, and good riddance too. There isn't a thing I'd miss, except my computer. And at least I wouldn't die from stress or a heart attack. We've created a h**l for one another, people s******g each other over, lying and cheating, stealing and committing all kinds of moral wrong doing. people suing each other left and right. people living in constant fear of law suits etc. I wouldn't miss any of it. Think I'll move to Bhutan or something. I've stopped worrying about it, but I preach about things I think matters when I can, but I'm not going to let it destroy me. I think there will always be ignorant, belligerent, and lazy and indifferent people out there. They are not the ones that move mountains. In fact, they rarely become much, nor do they ever do anything great with their useless life. It's not how long you live that counts, but rather how MUCH you live. That's the difference between being ALIVE and dead. I see a lot of dead people walking around out there. I'm pity them.

Answer 2

The planet is BILLIONS of years old.  There have been periods of great heat, great cold, volcanic eruptions, ice ages, meteor impacts, extinctions.

It is all part of the process.  Stressing about it will not keep these natural processes from occurring.  The temperature has gone up ONE DEGREE in the last hundred years, and Al Gore is running around like Chicken Little.

The dinosaurs were around for 60 million years and now they are gone.  Humans will face their own extinction some day, and then new creatures will evolve and rise up.  It would be interesting to be able to see that!  

The planet has BILLIONS of years left to go.. stop stressing.

Answer 3

Man made global warming is a hoax.  The geological history of the earth is plenty of history.

Answer 4

People suggest that global warming is hoax for two main reasons. First, they do not understand science or science theory and second, if they admit that it is true, it will force them to drastically alter their lifestyle.

There are tremendous amounts of scientific evidence that point toward anthropogenic climate change. Is it a fact? No. But the evidence continues to mount in favor of it. Do we know exactly how climate change will play out? No.

But it comes down to this. If the climate change prediction are correct, or even partially correct, it makes a lot of sense to try and do something about it sooner or later.

If they are wrong, what have we lost? Most likely nothing, and we will have gained a more efficient use of natural resources.

Critics often point to he uncertainties in science to "prove" global warming isn't real. This of course is ridiculous. scientist understand and account for uncertainty all the time. If these same standards were applied to drug companies, they wouldn't be multi-billion industries and they would never get a drug on the market. Yet, we seem willing to accept this uncertainty. and people call for more lenient standards all the time. The same is true for GMO's, and everything else that has science as its base.

If this was applied to global warming, we would all be driving on biodiesel and using solar power by decree of law.

Answer 5

noone can determine wether there is any  steady rise in temperature because the temperature of a place depends on various factors such as pollution ,climate , vegetation etc

hence global warmiong is the biggest hoax in history of human development

Answer 6

To have to accept that everything you believed is wrong is a convulsive experience.  Too much to handle.

Answer 7

I just finished this book by Micheal Crichton called 'State of Fear' and its all about Global Warming and both sides. He put a lot of footnotes in it with scientific proof. It was a really good book, U should read it. It'll tell u about how the government puts fear in their citizens to become safer and more aware of the world (like 9/11 and Global Warming)

Answer 8

Several reasons:  The first is attack the proponents:  since liberals like Al Gore are offering the global warming arguement, it must be a hoax since all they want to do is make a bigger government.  Second: how could little old us do such a thing to the big old earth?  Thats Rush Limbaugh.  Third: I never froze my *** so much as I did last week.  Gross global changes do not rule out unusual cold snaps.  Then there are the "everything is a conspiracy" believers who think Hollywood has faked all the pictures you see or the aliens are pointing heat rays at us and we are all doomed anyway.

Answer 9

i believe its minimal or possibly, not true at all. several scientists and climatologists also believe its not true.  look at the climate history we have and the data from ice cores, etc. global warming and cooling is natural and cylical.  much of the hype is done for political and other self serving reasons.

Answer 10

ONCE AGAIN....

Global Warming MEANS "World Wide Warming!" It is ONLY A Political Term = NOT based in Real Science!

The EARTH is covered by "Three Quarters WATER!" Basic Science, it takes ONE-Btu to raise One Cubic Centimeter ONE Degree Centigrade!

HOW many "Gazillion Cubic Centimeters are there ONLY on the Surface of Planet Earth COVERED by 3/4 Water?"

HOW many Btu's would it take TO RAISE THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE ONE DEGREE?

DO THE MATH!

And, were are the Million TEMPERATURE MEASURING SITES on the Many Oceans THAT TELL US THAT THE OCEAN TEMPERATURES ARE RISING? Not!

Oh yes, POLAR temperatures have varied LESS Than one degree in the past 100-Years. Noticed I said VARIED, = NOT RISEN!

Thanks, RR

Answer 11

Global warming is not a hoax. But there are way too many assumptions that have gone into the calculations that are just that assumptions. Proving global warming is in the most miniscule details and there is not enough data to prove or disprove it. Certainly burning fossil fules for centuries may have had some effect on the environment. But that doesn't mean that the predictions of the coming disasters are anywhere near correct. Take the number one spokes person for it Al Gore. If he really believed in the dangers of gloobal warming why would his carbon footprint be hundreds of times as large as the rest of us.  I am an engineer and from the conversations I have had with scientifically trained people the basic question seems to be if we can't predict the weather with great accuracy a week ahead of time, how good can we be at predicting it in a century?

Answer 12

the planet itself warms and cool over a period of time.

all global warming is doing is speed up the process.

Answer 13

For those who are truly interested, here is a good lecture, that explains the bad science and politics behind global warming.

http://www.fcpp.org/main/media_file_wm.p...



I also suggest that people also view the power point simultaneously.  

Watch the lecture, and see if his concerns have been answered to your satisfaction by the supporters, then decide for yourself.  Only then can one claim to have made an educated decision.

Personally, supporters fail to answer my concerns.  They keep harping the same point; all of the experts believe it (which is pure propaganda)  then you should believe it to.  So there is no need to question the science.

Answer 14

The theory of man-made global warming is false.  Rather than just giving evidence proving that global warming is based on misrepresented evidence I will directly address the points made by global warming scientists.  If you do not plan on reading my post (I know it is long) I would ask you to watch this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=...  this video makes many of the points I will be making.  Now I will list the points that global warming scientists make: 1. CO2 causes an increase in global temperature. 2.  The IPCC has produced a report on the issue.  3. Computer models predict what we are saying.  4. There is a scientific consensus on the issue/all major scientists agree on man-made global warming/the only people who disagree are paid by the oil companies.  5. Major Politicians, CEO’s, scientists, etc agree.  6.  Even if there is a chance that global warming is real we should do everything we can, it can’t hurt.

1.  This is the main point made by global warming scientists. Data does in fact show that temperature and CO2 are correlated, however the nature of the correlation has been overlooked.  Global warming scientists say that an increase of CO2 causes global temperatures to rise, but this is not the case; a rise in global temperatures causes a rise in CO2.  Using the same graph featured in “An Inconvenient Truth”, (the graph where Al Gore goes up on the cherry picker, the data from the ice core), the graph clearly shows a lag in CO2 as compared to global temperature.  Temperature starts to go up 800 years before CO2 begins to rise.  This happens because of the oceans.  CO2 released by natural or man-made sources is mostly absorbed into the ocean, when the global temperature raises it gradually increases the ocean temperature which releases CO2 and other gasses into the atmosphere.  Also most of the warming occurred before 1940 when industrialization was not as great.  One would believe that if global warming is tied to CO2 it would accelerate in the post WWII period, but it didn’t.  The globe actually cooled for 4 decades after WWII, when industrialization was the greatest.  Now take a look at our atmosphere as it relates to greenhouse gasses.  CO2 makes up .03% of our atmosphere, a very small amount of our atmosphere.  Other greenhouse gasses like water vapor make up 1-4% of the atmosphere.  Now take a look at where CO2 comes from, all human activity combined produces 6.5Gt of CO2 per year.  Volcanoes alone match that number.  All animals combined (meaning respiration, decomposition, etc) produce 150Gt of CO2.  So humans produce a very small amount of CO2 which itself makes up a very small amount of our atmosphere.  Water vapor is acknowledged to be the major greenhouse gas, and all of that is produced via evaporation (i.e. naturally).  

I know some of you may be thinking “ha, he acknowledges the greenhouse effect.”  To you I ask you to read a science textbook, the greenhouse effect is real and plays a very important role in maintaining a livable temperature on the earth.  Global warming scientists cite the greenhouse effect via our emission CO2 as the source of global warming.  They are disproved by their own words.  As I said before the greenhouse effect is real and causes heat to become trapped in the troposphere which warms the earth.  So if human emission of CO2 is to be blamed we would expect the troposphere to be warming and thus increasing the surface temperature (the temperature cited on global warming graphs) of the earth but look for yourself: http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/temperature... the troposphere is actually cooling, only the surface temperature is rising.  This warming is not due to the greenhouse effect it is due to the sun.

It makes sense, the sun is the ultimate source of all of our energy.  Studies have shown that the effect of sunspots much more closely correlates to the rise in temperatures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sunsp... http://www.livescience.com/environment/0...

http://web.dmi.dk/solar-terrestrial/spac...

http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/...

The other planets in our solar system are also warming. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/ma...

http://www.heartland.org/Article.cfm?art...

All this data points to the sun as the source for our current warming, and what about those ice core studies?  http://www.lavoisier.com.au/papers/artic...

Here are the results of the ice core studies they show a very cyclic effect in regard to global temperatures.  The global warming crowd also argues that weather disturbances will become more likely but the actual numbers show no increase.  Oh and the glaciers, they have retreated and advanced every year since the earth began, they melt in the summer and build up in the winter.

2.  The IPCC, http://www.ipcc.ch/, is the main source of data for those in support of global warming, and has been very controversial.  In a prior report a graph, the so called “hockey stick” graph, was shown to be forged.  A reprint of the report had to be issued but the damage was done.  The fake graph was the main point made in the report, all data rested on its accuracy.  When an independent review took place the data used to make the graph was shown to be made up, that’s a fact even the IPCC admitted the fraud.  Now allegations have been made that the IPCC has censored the report and refused to take scientists names off the contributors list.  Contributing scientists have alleged that their passages, which were critical of man-made global warming, were taken out of the report.  15 passages in all are alleged to have been cut from the report.  Scientists have also said that their names are on the contributors list even though they left the committee after finding their objections to global warming were ignored.  These scientists left the committee but the IPCC refused to take their names off the contributors list so that they can claim all major scientists agree with them.  The IPCC is a heavily partisan committee that went into session fully knowing that their report would be in favor of global warming, any scientist who disagreed was censored.

3.  Computer models are predictions; they are based on hundreds of assumptions.  If even one assumption is wrong the whole model is incorrect.  Every computer model is based off the assumption that man is the main cause of global warming, which if you’ve read the above paragraphs, should be questioned.  Another disparity occurs in the amount of CO2 released, most models have two times the amount of CO2 being released than is actually seen.  You may wonder why these programmers are being so bold with their outrageous assumptions; the fact is these models predict the climate 50 to 100 years from now.  These programmers will be retired or dead before their models can be proven accurate or inaccurate.

4. This is the most blatant lie made by the global warming crowd; there is no scientific consensus on this issue.  Here are the names of over 17,000 scientists who disagree.  http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm  This lie of scientific consensus is purely propaganda meant to make you believe without evidence.  Consider for a second, what does scientific consensus mean?  This may sound silly but imagine that all the scientific community got together and decided that humans can fly unassisted, does this mean it’s true, no.  Science is not politics, issues are not voted on, and truth is not based on which outcome is most accepted, if it was we would be the center of the universe not to mention the earth would be flat.  Those were the scientific consensus of the time, but experimentation has proved them to be wrong.

5.  A recent poll has shown that only 8% of the population believes that global warming is not man-made.  Everyone else believes global warming is man-made and this will affect the world either in this generation or sometime soon.  This accounts for the support of politicians and CEO’s.  Politicians see their constituents believe global warming and the politician jumps on the global warming band-wagon to get votes.  CEO’s and presidents of corporations also see the poll data and try and get customers by pledging their support.  Price differences between stores are often not that great, so leaders of these corporations want to gain customers based on “morals.”  Scientists love the global warming hype; more and more funding is being poured into various institutions for scientists to use.  Scientists find applying for grants easier with this increase in money.  Scientists can get media face time and get studies published before moving on to their real interests.  You may wonder why so many ordinary people believe in global warming even though all the evidence disagrees.  The fact is global warming dissenters are ignored.  The media airs only stories in support of global warming; many people don’t even know that there is a legitimate opposition to global warming.  And the claim that the only people who disagree with global warming are paid by oil companies is unfounded, its mudslinging.  That claim is just as founded as the claim that all those in support of global warming are paid by the major environmental conservation companies.  

The global cooling scare can show where this is current scare will take us.  If you don’t remember this scare I’ll explain.  In 1974 scientists were convinced that the globe was cooling so fast that we would soon enter a new ice age.  The media portrayed it as fact, committees were put together and came out with the global cooling conclusion, a scientific consensus was called.  Ordinary people were scared that the world would end and what happened?  We now have global warming a 180 from the ice age we were supposed to enter.  Global warming is the exact same scare as global cooling.  You’d think that people would have acknowledged global climate cycles by now.  

6.  This claim has been made more popular recently; it’s called the preventative principle.  This may seem to be the end all global warming argument.  However this statement just conveys ignorance.  You, in your rich country in your house or apartment and on your computer, will not be affected by the precautionary principle.  These changes to alternate energy would apply worldwide, and it is a fact that these energy options are currently much more expensive than coal and oil.  Take Africa for example, a continent made up of mainly third world countries.  How do you expect the poorest people in the world to ignore their coal and gas resources in favor of very expensive alternate energies?  They can not afford it but the UN via the IPCC expects them to switch over.  Also the US alone spends over 4 billion dollars on global warming research, that money could be much better used to promote any number of charity programs.  

If you read my post or watched the video you should at least have been prompted to take a fresh look at global warming as an unproven theory.  It is no lie I do not believe in man-made global warming, my purpose in writing this is not to completely convince you global warming is false.  I wrote this to wake people up from blindly following the global warming crowd.  I urge you to look at global warming and take in consideration arguments made by scientists who oppose global warming.  Your time, vote, money, and liberties are being taken in the name of global warming.

Answer 15

There is no proof. All they have is a lot of money given to them by the car industry so they won't have to pay the scientist and the factories to remake all cars to follow government protocol.
