  • I wonder how the global warming goons are responding to the ever increasing data that shoves a redhot poker up the arses of all those so called scientists that perpetuated the global warming hoax?

    Seems bad and incorrect data has been found running rampant through the reams of paper produced by said scientists-some of said scientists have admitted to outright fruad since then and to top it all off, there has been no increase outside normal perameters worldwide.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

  • The GOP dont believe in anything that doesnt make the rich richer

  • I want to know a place where I can find peer reviewed sources on this issue.

    Not arguments but peer reviewed papers.

  • global warming is caused by the sun

  • @matchbox555 indeed

  • He fails to see that the global warming industry is the bigger player here, all those "scientists" they like to call themselves while having studied climate most of the time for one or two semesters depend on the money that countries like the US are spending on their studies.

    Since global warming is now like a religion in itself people dont complain spending money on it, and its an endless stream of money for people sitting on their couch preaching about the end of the world. Seems familiar?

  • @mymom1234 I think people like you tend to assume that other people are driven by the same motives and have the same amount of knowledge as you. It's the same with religious arguments about anything scientific; they assume the scientist is only about as sure he's right as they are about their own religious beliefs. What I'm telling you is climatologists are 100% on this and there's no debate. As for the GW industry, get a life. The anti-global warming industry exists for profit's sake only.

  • @at122888

    I think people like you tend to sit on their high horse grouping people in their stereotyped, imaginary and narrow-minded categories while thinking they own some kind of moral superiority.

    Many jobs and money depend on GW. There is noone doubting climate change, only the influence men has in it. If the doubters are right all of them would lose their state-founded jobs. There is a huge lobby for keeping GW a threat, as long as people fear they will be funded.

  • @at122888 p2:

    I cant see where you are from, but we had already two former (left!) environment ministers writing books about GW saying the influence men have on GW is much less than believed. And world renown physicians without any links to some kind of lobby supporting that statement.

    All this is still not meant to imply we can be wasteful with resources again. We have to decrease our need for oil and coal, for different reasons. But driving a bigger car wont end the world earlier.

  • i think this is argumentum ad populum...

  • The problem is that people like Al Gore exaggerate the situation to a degree that people turn away from it entirely instead of finding a middle truth. Yes, the earth is heating up-- our planet has a cycle in which over thousands of years it heats up and cools down over and over again. However, we're making it heat up quite a bit faster than usual. No, this isn't horrible for the /planet/- the planet is adaptable. The planet is fine-- /we're/ fucked.

  • Well said, Bill. All of it true. We need to move away from our dependence on oil. If you can't see that the industrial revolution has caused major damage to our world, you're blind. Millins of factories pumping smoke into the atmosphere and waste into the rivers. It works like this, the days will get hotter and the nights and winters will get colder. We no longer have an ozone layer.

    We need to move on to clean energy, but since the oil companies own government that will never happen.

  • bp is not a british company bill...

  • @Pirate44444 really come on i know ur smarter than that the name of the freakin company is british petroleum *smh*

  • @superPbproductions bp used to stand for british petroleum but it is now an international company, not a british company. Quote: "The name "BP" derives from the initials of one of the company's former legal names, British Petroleum"

    Half the board are American. The company in ownership and operating the rig was transocean, and has an American CEO.

    Obama insisted on calling it British Petroleum (not the company's name) because he wanted to blame it on Europeans. Because he's a massive dick.

  • Climate change is obviously real. The cause is the issue of debate.

  • @ASwiftHippie The only debate is between scientists who use evidence to support their claims and people supported by oil companies with no evidence. They are using the same tactics about global warming as they did for smoking. Some of their experts are the same people.

  • @IrishHermes If you take into account that the sun is becoming increasingly active(so much so that they are concerned for members on the space station) and the fact that our planet's magnetic field is on the declining part of its cycle, it's reasonable to think that there could be causes that have nothing to do with us.

    Not that I'm saying what we're doing to the environment is ok. We should still develop alternative fuels and decrease pollution.

  • @IrishHermes (continued) Also, don't think that I'm saying it isn't because of pollution. I'm sure it's a contributing factor. I was just presenting the other side of the argument. I haven't really studied the subject so don't think that I'm trying to argue any particular point.

  • Huh.. It's very true.

    But, equally so, we do have to bear in mind that it was revealed that some self-confessed, Lefty Eco-Scientists were caught emailing each other and describing global warming as an "opportunity" to bring about a socio-economic change and overthrow capitalism..

    It's the same with any transaction - "buyer beware".

  • I will feel really bad for Maher when the world doesn't come to an end. I think the environment has changed, but the planet goes through these changes. Are we changing because industrialization. I don't know, but we can do better. I do know whatever the problem is it won't be solved simply by raising my taxes. As to the weather forecaster comment. I don't think we should listen to them. I mean a comedian who never accomplished anything in his field has all the answers.

  • @WhiteTrashBarbarian Maher isn't saying that the world is coming to an end so you don't have to feel bad for him about that. Also, he's accomplished quite a lot of you look up his history.

  • @WhiteTrashBarbarian It still isn't safe to just observe it. We NEED to do something just INCASE. The result won't be satifying but it will be hell of a lot better than if we just sat back and let everything go down the shitter because we were lazy.

  • @peronkop Well I'd agree with that accept Al Gore for example has three homes and a private jet. Doesn't that leave a bit of a carbon foot print? And let's face it for most of the people talking about climate shift they want to impose new taxes not new technology that actually works. I want real solutions that work. Never mind that when I was in grade school they said the world would be hell by now. Of course in the 1970's they said we'd be in a new ice age.

  • I agree 100%. People are so fucking ignorant, yet still want to voice their vacuous opinions. This is why Democracy is a fucking failure. In the last election I didn't vote; it was the first time I was eligible, I watched lots of videos and TV programmes about the different parties, but still couldn't make my mind up so I chose not to vote (there seemed to be so little difference that voting was pointless). Idiots told me I was stupid for not voting, but that's fucking stupid.

  • @CowLunch Your vote has no value if you don't know what you're voting for. I know people who couldn't even recognize the leader of the party they voted for! They just vote the same way every time and pay no attention to what's going on.

    Only experts should decide on matters concerning their field.

    As for electing politicians, it is difficult because the surest way to ensure the best interests of the people is to ask them, but they're so ignorant and don't know anything about their own politics

  • Comment removed

  • there are two streams here, of course arguing climate change is not real or just a theory is utterly stupid... it's happening, and it has been happening since earth was formed, ice ages are "climate change" too. but the debate that is wrongly attributed against the climate change is the one with the source or the climate change... a lot of scientist don't believe that "carbon" is the main attributing factor to the climate change, and others, mainly activists believe that carbon is the reason.

  • I don't believe in the penis vagina theory.

  • Right on!

  • Had I been gay, I would have married you, Bill.

  • stupid bullshit -> sun aktivity

  • Who is saying its a hoax? Big corporations that oppose anti polluting measures. Wonder if they'd have an angle on it? But lets ignore all the evidence and say its a hoax. Does anyone really think that you can dump as many toxins as you want into an environment and have NO negative consequences?

  • I love ya, Bill, but you're dead wrong on this one.

    *There is no 'scientific consensus' on man made climate change - its very strongly contested by thousands of highly respected scientists.

    *Meteorology isnt advanced enough to predict the weather 2 weeks out- you cant believe they can predict global weather systems over the course of the next century

    *The history of the earth has been full of climate changes. These things happen on a geological time scale. Glacial periods and warming.

  • Let's see. Who should I believe - climate scientists or people who pretend to understand climate science? Gee, it's so hard to decide.

  • @PoetryHound

    That makes so much fucking sense but yet so few people think like that. I weep for humanity, seriously. People seem to trust rightwing pundits on climate change over climate scientists. Fucking ridiculous.

  • scientists showed that there has been no global warming for a decade so we're not doing too bad against it

  • I love him. HE ROCKS!!!!!

  • this country is being held back by 2 things: 1) the uneducated idiotic 40% of the American red state republicans 2) a pussy media

  • @merajoga but there is this only one republican guy who is better than democrat con-man and war mongrel right wings.....Ron Paul.

  • @tuck295q unfortunately not. He is definitely a breath of fresh air, but he won't accomplish anything. Politics and politicians give the American public the illusion of choice and the illusion of thinking that what they want actually matters. The US government is run by wealthy businessmen who dictate what goes on in the country regardless of who is in charge. You could put jesus in there, and all you are gonna get is a spike in wine prices but Halliburton will continue to post gains.

  • @merajoga Are you sure that the percentage is that low? I am still convinced that the uneducated American Republicans are closer to about 60% myself, but I haven't looked up stats for that so I wouldn't know for sure anyway. Nice comment though, very true information that too few people understand these days.

  • Humans only contribute roughly 4% of all CO2 emissions on this planet. Global warming is a natural trend that our planet has experienced many times before. We are NOT causing it.

  • Ohh global warming is definitely real.. is it natural? is it man made? that's the real debate.

  • @SandmanJAAE

    That's not a debate either. Earth has gone through many, many warming and cooling eras, this is just another gradual warming trend. Also, scientists have already discovered that all the carbon emissions of our entire species per year are negligible compared to what our planet naturally spews out per year through volcanoes and undersea vents.

  • @drche420 ohh, very informative. thanks for the reply!

  • @SandmanJAAE

    No problem, though Poe's Law applies here. For the record I must point out that humans only contribute roughly 4% of all the CO2 emissions on this planet.

  • Just the title itself made so much sense that I didn't even have to watch the vid.

  • What an awesome guy

  • "and since the topic is science, the non-scientists don't get to vote"

    Excellent advice. Wish Maher would listen to it himself before he runs off at the mouth denying the importance of vaccines.

  • yotube: Lord Monckton Greenpeace subtitled

  • Comment removed

  • Lets suppose we are not adding to global warming..at all..do you think the emissions coming out of the tail pipes of the millions of autos and smoke stacks around the world are made of green beans and tofu....and not poisonous...

  • Argument Ad Popularum. Sort of like "Stephanie Meyer is the greatest writer who ever lived because she sold a lot of books."

  • Global warming has not been proven and it shouldn't be arrogantly paraded as if it were obvious and all unbelievers were stupid. The truth is that no one can predict what our climate is going to be like 50 years from now. What we should really be afraid of is another ice age; something that has had a recurring pattern every 50,000 years or so. Perhaps global warming, if it does exist, will be beneficial and break the cycle of massive galciers coming down from the north destroying all below.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker Your claim is false, and no scientific evidence supports it. Basic logic is all that is needed to understand that human activity directly impacts the environment. But despite that grasp of the obvious, there is compelling CO 2 evidence found in glacial ice cores and tree rings that the earth is warming at an exponentially faster rate, and in a shorter time frame, than in any similar warming phase revealed in this evidence. Explain how rising oceans are "beneficial"?

  • @jjb1310 Which claim? That the Earth has been going through warm periods, like we have now, and cold periods when we have ice ages? Or, that no one can know what the Earth's climate will be like 50 years from now. As to how rising oceans can be benefical is that it is a hell of a lot better than falling oceans do to a lot of the earth's water being captured in massive, continent covering galciers. I'm afraid that you have been sold a bill of goods by leftists who want capitalism to fail.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker Well, no more need to waste time with you. You purposefully obfuscated your own claim that global warming has not been proven by being cloy, and then turned it into a political attack. All you have is a opinion with no evidence to back it up. Keep fooling yourself into thinking you're a "truth seeker". You don't fool me.

  • @jjb1310 Oh, that one. Global warming has NOT been proven. If you disagree, prove it to me. The political attack really wasn't made toward you personally. I said it because politics and making money is what really is behide this lie. The fact is that Enviromentalism has become a religion. Large speeking royalities wait those who placate it. Almost every American school child is taught it to poison their minds against capitalism. The burden of proof is on the hands of those who make the claim.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker Are you serious? You want me to prove to you what you can easily find on the internet? There is a broad consensus among scientists around the world that global warming is fact. They are too numerous to mention, but it really doesn't matter, because your mind is clearly "poisoned" with alarmist fantasies about the climate science community. I'm an older guy, and I'm tired of arguing with irrational people whose heads are full of right wing bullshit.

  • @jjb1310 Yes I am serious. There aren't too many peer reviewed studies directly correlating the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere at high altitudes with the average global temperature change over the last few decades or so on the internet. There is instead only a broad consensus among scientists. I'm only interested in the meteorologist who use weather balloons to study such things. And even if there is a correlation that does not mean proof, just a possiblity.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker I referenced two significant pieces of evidence - polar ice cores and tree rings (both living and fossilized) that contain enough CO2 data to convince most scientists that global warming is real, and you've limited your opinion based only on weather balloon data from meteorologists? What are your scientific credentials to be such a contrarian?

  • @jjb1310 Because in order to be a greenhouse gas it has to be high in the atmosphere or else there will be no reflection of sunlight striking it from below. I'm not claiming that there isn't more CO2 around than there used to be. I'm only claiming that it is not affecting the global temperture in a significent way. If you look at the amount of warming made because of a increase CO2 in the air at current levels, then you will find that it is a very poor greenhouse gas.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker

    Please explain something to me. How can a person with a bachelors degree in computer science - which suggests SOME FORM of critical thinking ability - think that even though you profess no level of expertise in the subject at hand - you've managed to outwit a whole scientific community with years and years of research in anthropogenic warming. "CO2 IS ACTUALLY A VERY POOR GREENHOUSE GAS, THOSE SCIENTISTS FORGOT; THEY SHOULD HAVE ASKED ME HUR HUR" Jesus

  • @kekemankek I came to the opinion that CO2 was a poor gashouse gas from data that showed that it has climbed by about 40% since the beginning of the last century, and that this has made at most about only a one degree Fahrenheit increase in temperture because of its maximum limits in its ablility to reflect sunlight. If the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere doubled it would only have a maximum ability to make the global temperature increase about two degrees Fahrenheit. If I am wrong, correct me.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker You're making me think back to my undergraduate days so i'm a little rusty, but from the sounds of it you're looking at the data too simplisticly. First of all, a 2 degree Fahernhiet increase is actually quite a big deal. Second you must also consider the net effect of additional positive feedbacks - as well as the net reduction of negative feedbacks, since that's where the real muscle of global climate change is.

    You have to look at the Earth as a whole.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker

    "I came to the opinion that CO2 was a poor gashouse gas "

    wow .... all by yourself or did you have "help" there ?

  • @mindwis3 Maybe you have had a little help being indoctrinated in the climate is heating up due to man made greenhouse gases club and we've got to "save the planet!"

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker

    "man made greenhouse gases club and we've got to "save the planet!"

    Well Ryan, there's no need to "save the planet" since the planet will survive any climate change just fine...

    it's more a question of caring whether people and animals after us won't suffer from our abuse, obviously you are one of the " don't cares" .. in which case you should be a man about that stop living in denial.

  • @mindwis3 I care very deeply that mankind exists as long as possible, which could be almost forever, if our technology ever lets us to move to other planets around younger stars. "Save the planet" are not my words. I know that the Earth will survive after we're gone. But they are the words of Enviromentalist who want to see all of mankinds progress stopped because they hate Capitalism and its resulting wide range of

    incomes. I don't think CO2, in anything near its current abundance, is abusive.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker well yes, but in the meantime while we're still planning a colony on the moon and a manned mission to mars this is a issue.

  • @TheBaldchipmunk We have been in space for about 60 years now. I'm talking about when we'll have been in space for more than 60 million years. We only have another 500 million years before the sun gets to hot for us to survive on the surface. There's nothing wrong with thinking about stuff no matter how far it is in the future. I was bought up with Star Trek on TV, what can I say?

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker

    Oh and also, I'm a fourth year meteorology student, you don't know what the FUCK you're talking about. Sincerely. I've had one course in computer science, but I don't go around shouting "OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING SUCKS YOU PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND" on random videos. I try to keep my mouth shut about things I don't know about.

    Man, you people scare me. The commonman arguments against AWS genuinely share the level of stupid with anti-evolution arguments.

  • @kekemankek I've been doing a little resreach myself, and I've changed my opinion but you still won't like it. It is an uncontestible fact that the Earth has warmed since the beginning of the last century. But, it's probably his nothing to do with man made emisions of CO2. The current temperture of the world is probably less than it was during the midieval warm period, when there were no man made gases at all. Just so I'll know, could you tell me what the hell AWS is. BTW I'm an atheist.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker

    You obviously aren't a truth seeker. Someone interested in the truth would have already come to the conclusion that global warming is happening. Read a book, or visit a webpage. For fucks' sake, you're on the internet. How inept could you be?

  • @drche420 Well, maybe something worked because after doing a little more research I now believe that there has been some global warming. It's just not because you think it is. I don't believe the internet much about global warming because all of you guys think there has been an increase in CO2 by man. The reason I have the attitude I do is that I have seen climate nuts indoctrinating little school childern that they must "Save the planet!" That is what sacres me.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker its pretty clear that mankind is having an effect on its environment.

    Sure the fact is that climate change DOES occur in cycles all the time trhough geologic history warm , cold, warm cold etc. That is definitely true.

    The fact is that we are in a warming trend over the past century, but they take that into account with the existance of other geological "warming" periods that simply do no increase this dramatically this fast 'naturally'.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker If this current climate change was occuring over the course of 500-1000 years? then it would be defensible to say we are merely seeing another natural part of the cycle. With an average global change of more than 2 degrees in under a century? no way jose.

    Such a "small" change of only a degree, keep in mind that is an average over the planet....keep in mind, all ice needs in order to melt is a little to go from 32 degree ice to 33 degree water.

  • @OkamsRazer calm down. as I see it, RyanTheTruthSeeker is a troll (I know the kind, I sometimes play one too).

    one of the first give aways was that he turned the table from global warming to a coming ice age. and now, he has conceded that there is global warming, just not man made.

    the way to defuse the issue is, should we not reduce the use of co2 producing fuels (coal, and oil), as these sources are limited, and getting harder to mine, and how should we prepare for the warming

  • @eyallev The reason I'm so skeptical about these claims is that they are directed at CO2 specifically. CO2 and water are the outcome of prefect hydrocarbin combustion. To make producing CO2 a bad thing you must say that all fossil fuel burning is a bad thing. The reason I feel so strongly about this is that our childern are being indoctrinated in this false belief at an age when they have little critical thinking skills to question it. I am not a troll! I have believed everything I've said.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker ok, than let's see if this makes you think:

    fossil fuel was created by millions of years, where plants obsorved the energy of the sun, and trapped that into the form of hydrocarbons, which than got removed from the carbon cycle.

    by burning these fuels today, we realse that trapped energy, and the carbon that was removed from the cycle MUCH FASTER than the plants today can undo it (and we are also reducing the number of plants today).

    that is the source of the danger.

  • @eyallev sorry but totally wrong, by burning fossils fuels we transduce Chemical Energy into mechanical energy.and thermal energy. That has nothing to do with the so called Global Warming balony caused by evil carbon dioxide, which of course is a scam.

  • @RancheroBFT granted, the actual heat from the burning of the fuels may not be all that great in the grand sceam of things, but regardless, this process increases the "active" carbon mass, carbon that took many MANY years to get pulled out of the enveroment.

    the fact that the enveroment is changing, and heating, and becoming more violent is undesputed, right?

    so the only question here is is it our fualt/can we undo (or at least slow) it?

    call me an optimist, but I say yes, and you?

  • @eyallev Not really undisputed, no. And like the Global Cooling scare, man-made Global Warming is just another fraud.

    And even if it was, so what? Would you be willing to give up heating your home or driving a car just because of 1 higher avg. temps? It's way better to live with it instead of trying to fight it, so not me. Environmentalists are control freaks, you better get that in your head. They wanna boss you around, that's basically it. Most egocentric assholes that exist.

  • @RancheroBFT Manmade global warming is no fraud, but it is a smaller contributor to the global warming issue than most. Because of the expulsion of harmful gasses from all the vehicles of the world, the Ozone layer has depleted in certain locations and that is allowing not only more heat to come through, but more harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation. Is it something to be feared in droves, no, but it should be kept in check.

  • @Shadow07Warrior1989 If they'd just keep it in check it'd be fine, but the extent of exaggeration on Global Warming makes it a fraud. It's being used as an excuse to restrict rights, wealth, tax us and control us, that is the only purpose.

    I am never going to put up with that, no one should. No matter how warm it gets on planet fucking earth.

  • @eyallev I actually think there may be some truth to what you are saying. But I'm not convinced that the bruning of fossil fuel is bringing about a change in global temperture as large as you are implying or that there aren't other factors invovled. But I don't think it's worth destroying our whole economy about. Besides, there's nothing we can do about it anyway. If we stop burning fossil fuels, China and India certainly won't. And why do we need to preach all this to little school childern?

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker we are not. we are trying to convince the parents to make a move, and like with most ad's it's best to direct it at the kids, because they motivate thier parents better.

    and "going green" is not about "going back to the stone age", it's about realizing that the earth has limited resources, and it's better to use renewable ones, than non renewable ones".

    and if we do things right, the UN (for example) could pass sanctions aginst countries that hurt the enveroment.

  • @eyallev I think using childern to spread propaganda to their parents is NAZI-like and I condemn you for it. I realize that one day we will no longer have any fossil fuels, but I believe that will be a realatively long time from now. In the future we will be forced to use other types energy sources. The UN is filled with third world countries that would target the US first while having no limitations on themsleves. I think we should get out of the UN altogether and kick them out of our country.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker yes, when you disagree with something, call it nazi-like, and that way you'll win.

    alot of things are being pushed on the parents vie thier kids. be it to save water, or road safty.

    you think that one day we will have no more fossil fuels? that that has already come.

    yes, we still have some, but it has already very dangourse to reach it (heard of the bp oil spill?). we no longer have easy to reach oil sources.

  • @eyallev I am not trying to win the conversation by calling what you are doing is NAZIest. I'm calling what you are doing NAZIest because that indoctrinacating chlidern on a idea that is beyond their ability to oppose so that they can spread the idea to their parents IS NAZI-like. We have no fossil fuels? Damn, I filled up my car up a couple of days ago, and I won't get to do it again! The BP oil spill was caused by bad management, not because of the inherent risk of what they were doing.

  • Comment removed

  • @BadIdeaBearCub The UN makes us victims only if we pay attention to them. We should throw the UN out of our country because the majority of their deligates are anti-American. They are worthless to us, and should be unwelcome. The third world countries that rail against us are being paid by us to run their show. If the United States did not host the UN from the beginning, there whould be no UN. What you wrote made no sense. I guess you just had to find some way of putting down Israel.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker I meant hydrocarbon. I'm a little dyslexic and I have to use the dictionary a lot.

  • @jjb1310 Sorry to disappoint but, Global Warming is not a FACT. What is a fact is we´re going through a Climate Change, now that is 100% scientifically proven and no one can argue or deny it. What´s the difference? Global Warming states that the climate is getting hotter and that it has an anthropogenic origin. That´s why it´s a lie. Climate shifts have always happened, way before man was around and temperatures are changing, some places get hotter others cold. Google East Anglia Emails.

  • @ig521987 global warming and climeta change is the same thing but with an other word

  • @deathwatch1980 Global Warming does involve a Climate Change. But what if I told you the climate change we´re going through has a tendency to make the climate colder, would the term Global Warming still be valid? The difference however, is not centered on whether the climate is changing but the reason why it´s changing. Global Warming says it´s due to man´s activity, industrialization and so on. There is enough reliable scientific data to deny that, that´s what Climate Change is about.

  • @ig521987 as unlikely as i think that is (the reliable data) i`ll agree too disagree with you on that. but i have too say the last oh 10 or so years i had shorter and warmer winters and longer and warmer summers then i can remember

  • @deathwatch1980 Well, I´m south american. Our summers are getting far hotter and our winters are getting way way colder, autumn? it's a thing of the past it seems. That´s the thing, extreme weather. Just skim over the East Anglia emails, it´s really all there, the manipulations to the data, made up statistics, threats, everything.

  • @ig521987 right the east anglia thing that was debunged a few months laters by almost everyone

  • Comment removed

  • @ig521987 What are your credentials and evidence to claim that global warming is a lie. Nothing you posted here contradicts the data that global warming is fact and that this latest accelerated cycle is directly attributable to human activity.

  • @RyanTheTruthSeeker You mean the continual right-wing, non-factual, non-college educated claim of climate change being false? We know, the climate scientists have to factually prove their case with scientific evidence, and the deniers prove their side by saying "it doesn't exist because we say so" LOL Gravity is only a theory, but my guess is that if u go to the top of your house and jump off, their is not going to be a debate whether or not you will fall to the ground.

  • @bigge525 I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I did particularly well in Physics. I don't like it when people use the word theory right after the words "is only." My guess is that if you jump off your house you will accelerate towards the ground at 9.8 meters per second per second.

  • @jjb1310 Your right. 98% of the climate scientists (you know, the people with actual education on that exact subject) outside of the United States claiming it is real and producing thousands of factual studies and evidence on climate change is no evidence "because we say so." LOL The other 2% of scientists who are nearly all NOT climatologists and get all their funding from the energy companies doing the most damage are the one's with the real "because I say so" evidence.. LOL

  • Sorry Bill... look into it a little deeper. AGW is bogus and has shown to be corrupted science.

  • Bill maher

    mainstream news for the sheeple

  • idiots believe what they want to believe, and expect others to believe it too.

  • This could be said about Creationists too!

  • Yeah, you use the argumentum ad numerum to prove your point, but couldnt one use that to say that because scientists say it, it must be true?

    Not saying I think global warming is a hoax, but I do strongly believe that scientists are overstating the isssue to get funding. Most of the enviornmental scientists are on government payroll afterall so they are just as much of liars as the actual politicians.

    Take the politics out of global warming and maybe more people would listen.

  • Shame that people still don't believe in climate change. How can you possibly not believe in the overwhelming consensus of scientists? Idiots.

  • @ProtestantsRUs It's not an overwhelming consensus.  It's being politicized and driven by a political agenda. There are MANY scientists who disagree. An absolutist, dogmatic 'settled' science argument is always propoganda.

  • I don't think he saw the news about the UEA covering up data that proved cooling

  • Why do they applaud after every sentence like a bunch of dicks?

  • @BigkKinny Because every sentence Bill says is the truth

  • @r70stunna Doesn't mean you have to applaud like he's some sort of magician pulling rabbits out his ass.He isn't saying anything the audience doesn't already agree with.

    "Republicans are stupid" *Standing ovation* Really?

  • @BigkKinny Its a studio audience dude. Im sure there is a light that comes on and tells the audience when to laugh, gasp, cry and all that shit. Bill is awesome though.

  • @r70stunna Just a bunch of brainless followers I guess then.Seems like he likes the applause, like he's some weird cult leader. I like maher, but not everything he says is applause worthy, regardless of what some sign tells you.

  • I can understand why we should be abit more responisble for the enviroment we live in, but the planet goes through "NATURAL" warming cycles throughout it's history.

    Now as humans we have the means to slow this process down, but like it or not the planet will keep consantly changing if we like it or not.

  • Any person who has taken an Environmental science course understands both the natural warming of the earth and how humans have added to the global warming. The earth is in a warming phase, which is being ACCELERATED by what humans are adding to the environment, resulting in higher highs and lower lows. Lets not continue to be such an ignorant country- take a fucking environmental course before you act like you know everything. Fox News or Glenn Beck does not= college level Environmental course.

  • @DreamTheater013 My point exactly.

  • @DreamTheater013

    What would be very inconvenient is that if all these 30,000 scientists were allowed to show (for the first time) in a world wide debate how stupid we were to believe, your science course would be dead, and all the 100,000s of people would be out of a job based on lies to the public.

    In the words of the great Einstein..."if something doesnt feel right one must first analyse what persons or entities benefit from fraud". The entities that are benefiting like everything these days is government. Next thing you will have to pay a tax that you pay to put out your first bin containing cardboard etc and then another tax for your other bin which contains your general rubbish...OH NO...U do that already!!! Lol

  • @DreamTheater013

    There is one basic thing that you should have learned in science as a child that should stand with you today.. Humans exhale carbon dioxide ie., CO2 and they inhale oxygen. What inhales CO2? Plants. Plants inhale CO2 and exhale oxygen. So basically the main fundamentals of these two elements permits survival of the human species and plants, trees etc.

    If you agree with this formula, then you have no reason to be touting such rubbish here.

  • @DreamTheater013

    Guess what the real reason behind the Global Warming hoax is? It isnt what you think and you certainly wont be told it in no science course by indoctrinated muppets in college. Here are links to what its all about.

  • @DreamTheater013

    The overall impact that people have on global warming is not yet known. Of course we are adding to the effect, but it is not yet known whether our contribution is negligible or extreme. Therefore, you can't say people are causing global warming. Not saying you are, just making a distinction.

  • Why is it that many people are unable to tell the difference between a problem and a proposed solution to the problem?

    I don't like a carbon tax either, but I am rational enough to understand that it's fucking stupid to deny the existence of a problem because you don't like the proposed solution.

    Climate Change is real, and human activity is the primary driver. That's a plain fact.

    Now, deciding what to do about it, if anything, is another issue completely.

  • @kshackleton The planet being through a hotter period is a plain fact, but human activity being the primary driver is most certainly not. I won't discard the hypothesis but there are no convincing arguments to prove so.

    The real problem I have with environmental issues is the unnecessary and incredibly overdone use of resources. That, though, appears to aways be seen in a 'economical' point of view.

  • @kshackleton

    plain fact that humans are primal driver? plz evidence anything

  • @kshackleton

    how come co2 didnt saying that co2 changed most of the atmosphere in 20th century.is just rly interesting..temperature raised for about 0.5C in last 140y and most of temperature rising accoured in the earliest decades of 20th cenutry-between 1905 and 1940 when industrial production was relativly small after 1940 as industry expanned the world cooled ..

  • @kshackleton and taxing the people and not using that money for anything connected to that problem is the big issue i mean if they were forcing out hybrid cars or i dunno anything that would be safer insted of some filters than i wouldnt have a problem with it but the way it stands now... i do

  • @kshackleton so what do you suggest? spend billions of dollars in taxpayer money to stop NATURE?? I cant think of anything more absurd

  • @ThirdEyeMessenger

    We spend billions every year now to stop nature....it's called MEDICINE.

  • @kshackleton so you agree with the billions we spend on PHARMA?? that is the most wasteful spending there is.

  • @ThirdEyeMessenger

    No, my point is that spending money to stop nature is not necessarily absurd.

  • @kshackleton i would argue that you cannot stop nature, and if you try, it will likely do more damage than good to the natural progression of life.

  • @ThirdEyeMessenger

    If you feel that way, burn your house down, take off your clothes, and walk into the woods and live by eating leaves and bugs. Humans have been trying to control nature ever since we figured out how to start a fire.

    The idea that NATURAL = GOOD is nonsense. Lots of natural stuff is deadly, and lots of artificial stuff helps us.

  • @kshackleton your talking about spending billions of dollars (thats wat it would take, go big or go home) when we are 16+trillion dollars in debt? not very wise monetary policy.

  • @ThirdEyeMessenger

    What I originally started saying is that people seem to stupid to distinguish between a demonstrated issue and a proposed response to that issue. AGW is a plain fact by all the evidence that we have. What we decide to do about that is a completely separate and distinct subject of discussion. My acceptance of AGW does not mean that I accept, necessarily, any proposed solution so far.

  • if so many scientists have proven climate change is caused by human activiy and if this is a threat to human survival why haven't the governments enacted and enforced strict laws to change human behavior?

  • @mrnoodleisdead

    because people are stupid, and don't want to believe it.

    The top reason people, including government agents, want to deny it is religion. God gave us this planet so we can do whatever we want with it. God will either stop something bad happening, or will rapture the good people away before it does, so who gives a fuck what we do.

  • Human driven or not, what I get from this is that we cannot afford to be a one planet species. We've got a lot of eggs in one basket.

  • The planet heats up and cools down naturally, the climate changes just like the landscape has changed over time. Bill is wrong on this i'm afraid.

  • global temp. changes have been going on since the world was created, paying a carbon tax is just stupid!

  • Anybody else notice that Maher condemned (rightly) an appeal to population fallacy and then continued on by arguing on the basis of consensus?

    Anyway, I agree that more people need to take global warming seriously.

  • You are completely and utterly wrong, the previous high CO2 levels are scientifically justified by the short spiked duration, this link by actual SCIENTISTS prove you wrong. Global warming is happening, 95% of actual scientists agree. Logic best served to stupid. google this and click on first link. "Does high levels of CO2 in the past contradict the warming effect"

  • Bill Maher should listen to his own advice and leave the science up to the scientists to debate (yes, despite what you've been propagandized to believe it is still a 50/50 debate among climatologists whether current climate change is actually anthropogenic)....this issue must not get politicized...especially at the federal or UN level!!!! If this happens, the science all but flies out the window!!!!!!

  • @mikek241

    50/50? That's does not even qualify as wrong.

  • @kshackleton I never said if it was right or wrong, I simply pointed out that the debate is far from settled, despite the accelerated agenda currently being pushed by the political/environmentalist establishment to reduce everyone's "carbon-footprint".
