Why would people make up something like global warming?

Question

I am not saying global warming is true or isn;t to be honest with you i dont know. But if it is not true and the 700 000 scientists who have claimed its true and also celebs. What would people actualy gain? the first thing is taxes. But then again if tax money is all goverments want then why are they urging people to not use cars and such ?

Lastly the earths tempretures are rising because that is a fact! So if it is not because pf something that we are doing then what are the other therories as to why?

Answer 1

They are making money on Global Warming. Simple, brilliant, genius! Look at Al Gore he made millions already.

Answer 2

Psst, because they are Bolsheviks and they hope to stay in the Dole-Q!

"No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits.... Climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world."

Christine Stewart, Minister of the Environment of Canada

Answer 3

Global warming is probably a fact.  I believe that it is a cycle that the earth experiences for some reason.  The cause of the cycle is what everyone is trying to use as a vehicle to promote their own agenda to reach their desired goal.  Al is using it to cultivate followers (young, liberal, mislead, "Environmental Flower Children" needing a cause ) that will support his next venture into politics and power. Capitalist are using it to gain support for their plans to develop energy sources that they are in the "cat bird seat" to profit from future development of alternative energy sources. Environmentalist are those who have been duped into supporting the agenda of the Capitalist who have ulterior motives of unbelievable wealth. Those 700,000 scientist that you mention are correct in their reports that the earth is in a warming cycle.   Some are  investing in companies that will make them rich when they are able to capture a piece of the energy supply that they hope to steal from the fossil fuel empire.  The fossil fuel empire is taking all they can get before the competition gets any further.  Been to the service station lately to fill up the car ? Uncle Sam kinda likes what's going on because freight( Distribution of goods) is going to move off of the damaged, dangerous and overused highway system and back onto the railroads to enable that industry to rebuild and repair the rail system. You and I are going to supply the labor and money to accomplish all of this for every one that is in line to get very, very wealthy.

Answer 4

Global temps have risen over the last few decades--

skeptics don't believe humans can affect global temperatures-- (they do believe the temps have risen about .5 degrees ).

Now some of us also are concerned about the ground station temp data--- and await more satellite data.

Answer 5

because the government wants our money and we pay for there lobster when u donate to "global warming" so, dont donate to the myth global warming!

Answer 6

They wouldn't.  Global warming is scientific fact.

Even conservatives know that:

"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"

"National Review (the most prestigious conservative magazine) published a cover story calling on conservatives to shake off denial and get into the climate policy debate"

"Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader) 'It is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air.  We really need to do something on fossil fuels.”

"I believe there is now more than enough evidence of climate change to warrant an immediate and comprehensive - but considered - response. Anyone who disagrees is, in my view, still in denial."

Ford Motor Company CEO William Clay Ford, Jr.

"The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now."

James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.

Answer 7

If you ask people why they don't believe in man made global warming in scientific terms they will either try to change the subject to politics or provide some half-baked pseudo theory which has been rejected already by the great majority of climate science experts.

The truth is that nothing has been found to account for the warming other than CO2. There is a tiny chance that there is some heretofore unknown factor causing it that eludes science. But the only people who insist this are typically science illiterate, anti-intellectual, or politically committed to preventing government regulation of any kind even if they have to endorse lies to do it.

Answer 8

We all share a certain anxiety about our own death.  We all deal with it in different ways.  Some people go to church, volunteer, pray, study, raise a family, travel, etc.

Sometimes if people that don't feel fulfilled from any of the standard activities of life described above, they start to think that they have wasted their lives, and desperately search for something, anything that will make sure they are not forgotten when they die.  "It's not MY life that's in danger - it's the earth!"

I think making up something like global warming is done exactly because a person thinks their own personal life is wasted or meaningless.

Answer 9

because the people who continually deny are usually the ones who would lose the most money to combat the effects and reduce their impact on global warming.  Those who oppose are usually conservatives who care for their pocketbooks and little else.  If global warming were accepted then drastic measures to reduce the amount of carbon would have to be taken and that costs corporations a ton of money to comply with new regulations and re-work how they operate.

Answer 10

Maybe they're doing it because they want to save the earth? Some politicians do it for votes, some do it because whether or not it's true, we're abusing the very place we have to live. You can't deny that.

There is a theory circulating that the warming of the earth in the past has always corresponded with solar flares or something like that, or that this happens at times in the earth's history. Whether it's because of people or not is irrelevant, we shouldn't be mucking it up regardless.

edit: You're right, I don't think anybody would just make up something like global warming. The rising tempurature is a fact we can't ignore no matter why it is.

EDIT:

The Earths' temperature has not risen at all since 1998 or 1999 depending on the data you look at.
