  • Climate change news...

    (Please read before the denier with all the sock puppet accounts censors it)..

    .

    How climate change could be the ruin of Los Angeles

    .

    Few cities are facing the serious environmental double whammy that's most likely in store for Los Angeles. Not only do scientists predict that sea level rise will increase coastal flooding, but rising temperatures could threaten the Sierra Nevada snowpack that provides about a third of L.A.'s drinking water.

    .

    The Atlantic

    24 Feb 2012

  • Climate change "scientists" (and I put scientists in quotes because they're nothing short of political sock puppets) predicted a net loss of 500 billion tons of snow in the Himalayas in the past decade. The actual net amount of loss...

    NOTHING

  • @BlackFox0911 lol

  • he wears the mark well, claiming God yet spouting nothing of Him....... j

  • Thorne/MetO:

    Observations do not show rising temperatures throughout the tropical

    troposphere unless you accept one single study and approach and discount a

    wealth of others. This is just downright dangerous. We need to communicate the

    uncertainty and be honest. Phil, hopefully we can find time to discuss these

    further if necessary [...]

  • Thorne:

    I also think the science is being manipulated to put a political spin on it

    which for all our sakes might not be too clever in the long run.

  • Carter:

    It seems that a few people have a very strong say, and no matter how much

    talking goes on beforehand, the big decisions are made at the eleventh hour by

    a select core group.

  • Fuck Al Gore 

  • Leave it to Glenn Beck to transform a conversation from global warming into collective socialism

  • just in case anybody thought this john coleman character has any authority, we should all remember he has no scientific credentials at all. he has a degree in journalism. he is irrelevant. comparing his answers with those of climate scientists who publish papers in peer reviewed journals is like showing a debate between stephen hawking and uri geller on quantum physics.

  • @towneslives haha just looked him up myself. He says he's "telling us the truth the best he knows it" yet he's nothing but an entrepreneur with a journalism degree.

  • @kschwab14 like david attenborough

  • global warming isnt based just on recent history. its based on dated samples of old CO2 content of the air.. we have more greenhouse effect gases now than then. and we are breaking temperature records recently as well.

  • glen beck + girl +1990s (google search)

  • what I find is funny is just last year people are like "hey did you know global warming wasn't true" and I was like uhhh duh we've been trying to tell you for years and Liberals are too arrogant to see the truth lol until now

  • the reason people are not dying as much now, due to natural disasters, is because maybe idk....... We have better building materials and safer building constructions since the 1920's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not believing in global warming is like still believing the world is flat. it's ridiculous to say the least.

  • @Mando3692 flat earth was a scam to promote gulliver travels..

  • Glenn Beck, scientist. He got his PhD from???

    Can he and Michelle Bachman go hunting with Dick Cheney?

  • (continued)

    give people a sense of entitlement and a culture of 'sitting on your arse and moaning' becomes the norm, due to this, nothing positive ever happens. That's the depressing reality of welfare.

    Yes Europe is richer than America but I don't think it's a nicer place. I think, in much of America, people are happier than most Europeans, their oppurtunites are greater and the culture/society is less uniform and depressing. It's a common leftist view to attribute all that is good and bad to

  • @franklouuu but what is 'quality of life' - it's really just a measure of wealth which I think is a very one-dimensional and single minded way of looking at it. I can tell you for sure, many American people seem like happier, nicer people than many european people, is that not a better measure? Is it then possible that in a poor country there is a higher 'quality of life' than a mega-rich country, If the people are happier then yes, I think there is. Rich, leftist countries, esp. Much of Europe

  • there not alot of evidences when it comes to global warming made by us(i mean humans). BUT!. Theres lots of evidences on how humanity has changed this world for good or for worse(mostly worse). Well we'll all fined out in about 50 years or so.

  • in the 80s we should be in ice age now its all about money fuck all you people and if you want to put me in jail come and get me asshole newark new jersey

  • Bill O'Reilly & Glen Beck < Stephen Colbert Jon Stewart

  • @ShotgunSteve100 - Thank you kind sir! I tip my hat to you. Keep up the good fight! The only way for liberalism to snuff us out is by using slow increments. People like you will keep that from happening. Just please don't give up fighting for what's right

  • Liberals are afraid of Glen Beck because he speaks his mind, something Liberals are trying to get rid of those communist fucks.

  • @ShotgunSteve100 afraid of Glenn Beck? Liberals are afraid of his followers because Glenn Beck is an idiot but his followers are just crazy fucks

  • Liberals were the ones that came up with Global Warming scam because they were tired of Mother Nature getting offended. You know those Liberals, fighting for everyone that gets offended. In 5 years Liberals will fight for the rights of Pedophiles because they were "born that way". Fuckers

  • @ShotgunSteve100 Are you an idiot? This isn't a "liberal view". This is a science. These guys in the video are just trying to distort everything. And guys like you think they are right. Ah!

  • It's funny how carbon dioxide-releasing vehicles, animals, and fires have been around for centuries, and yet have only started making "significantly noticeable" changes to the environment within the past 40 years (right about the time that the mental disorder known as liberalism wheedled its way unwelcomed into this country). I do believe that winter is fast approaching. Better bust out the sun tan lotion, huh?

  • @BlackFox0911 "Centuries", as in little over one century?

    And during the last century Earth's population has increased from about 1.8 billion, in the early 20th century, to 7 billion today. On top of that the relative use of fossile-fuels has increased steadily, due to increase in industry and motor-vehicles.

    Oh, and 97% of the scientific community agrees that humans are causing global warming. Nutbags like Glenn Beck has zero say in a matter like this so...

  • @emmoshiggs14 - Al Gore is a politician with no scientific experience. You decide

  • John Coleman is a journalism major with some entertainment experience. You decide.

  • I admit that a reduction in deaths from extreme weather is a fact, but how is that evidence that global warming is a myth? First of all, we are talking about climate, not weather. Secondly, correlation does not imply causation. He's lacking a basic understanding of what global warming is and a basic understanding of statistics. Also, love how they discredit climate scientists for having a secret agenda to get fame and fortune when he's doing the exact same thing with this books and show.

  • @reecespeaces10 I might've purchased his book to have something ridiculous to read while I poop, but I just can't get myself to give my money to this guy.

  • Comment removed

  • The notion that people should have one or two children is a fairly reasonable notion, I think, for industrialized nations. Obviously that isn't the case for the third world where children are labor for what independent farmers are still in business. Climate control regulations and forced population reduction will inhibit the industrialization of the third world, while the "post-industrial economies will continue as they were. I am not for mandating a one child policy, but be responsible.

  • wooow what a dumb person.

  • Comment removed

  • John Coleman doesn't have a degree in Earth Sciences. Nor does Glenn Beck. The earth itself can endure the fluctuations in atmospheric composition, it's the environments and the biota that can't adapt at the same rate of climate change. Whether you choose to believe this or not what harm really could it do to ween ourselves off fossil fuels and reduce our impact on nature.

  • hundreds? what a liar coleman is !

  • Comment removed

  • What pisses me off is that those who protect the environment will suffer no less from the consequences of global warming than those who denial climate change and destroy the planet. Who gives the rights to people like glen beck and John sth in the video and the oil companies behind them to ruin the life of all of us?

  • @SherrySilverW The sad part is that dumb idiots like you are ruining the world for all of us. The earth is CO2 starved. We need more CO2 in the ozone to put the planet back in balance. It is sad looking at all the barren lands and deserts that used to be covered in green forests/jungles long ago back when earth had much more CO2 in the ozone. I want earth to be green again bring back the CO2 =).

  • @Navila1 Talking about dumb idiots I can't think of anyone more than you are :) Look at every sentence you say.

  • @SherrySilverW Only one part of your sentence is correct, the part where you admit you can't think.

  • @Navila1 The correct part is that I admit you are a dumb idiot :)

  • @SherrySilverW which is further proof to your correct statement you can't think. I would be worried if a numb witted mind like yours could understand the higher thoughts of mine.

  • @SherrySilverW No-one, there's no right and wrong, who gives you the right to decide what Glenn Beck can and can't do? Same shit.

  • Comment removed

  • @SherrySilverW Make up your mind... Global warming or climate change?

  • @hearv888 Tell us the difference if you can.

  • @SherrySilverW how much are u spending to help the environment?

  • @Xiofang What do you mean by "spending" to help the environment?

  • @SherrySilverW how much money are you donating to conservation groups and time spent doing com service?

  • @Xiofang Probably more than you thought I would do to "help the environment". I do climate policy analysis as a career.

  • @SherrySilverW The oil companies aren't behind global warming myths... if anything they benefit from global warming and they would recieve a portion of the carbon tax that is being pushed, if oil becomes something that is looked down upon countries wont drill for it as much then its price will become even higher

  • Global warming 'confirmed' by independent study 21 October 2011 BBC

    "The Berkeley Earth Project has used new methods and some new data, but finds the same warming trend seen by groups such as the UK Met Office and Nasa.

    The project received funds from sources that back organisations lobbying against action on climate change".

  • i've got some time and a camera why don't ya stop by ;)

  • Global Warming is a scam. I hate Glen Beck but it is true global warming is completely made up. Idiots stop believing everything the government says please.

  • @kingyisthebest5 "The government" wasn't even talking about climate change before scientists and activists brought it to their attention after years of consistent pressure.

  • Tell a lie long enough, scream a lie loud enough, and annoy people long enough, and even YOU will start to believe what you would never openly acknowledge is a lie whose only purpose is to capitalize on people's fear and gullibility. Nobody (with a brain, that is) believes this puréed garbage that is being shoved down our throats. We know that animals have produced CO2 longer than cars have been around and that the Earth has never burned up

  • @BlackFox0911

    If about 95% of the scientific community are without a brain then we are really in trouble

  • @BlackFox0911 Of course, because animals still live wild, and respirate at levels within that scale of that adaptive realm. Humans have pushed outside of the adaptive realm of the wild, and now, via our industriousness, release CO2 at levels HUGELY outside the geologic timescale at which ecosystems operate: now the climate-biosphere system can't keep up and still maintain equilibrium, but it will eventually balance, and those balances of energy will be the storms of our grandchildren.

  • South Park summed it up nicely. Al Gore was going around America, startling people by jumping out of bushes dressed as what he called "ManBearPig" and then telling the now frightened people that ManBearPig had to be stopped immediately. That is, until somebody said, "he's just mad because he lost the election, so he's going around scaring people with something that he made up and that doesn't even SOUND real"

  • And it was Ronald Reagan who said "Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction!"

  • I AM EVERY DUMBASS ON THE PLANET, I HATE AN OPPOSING OPINION AND WILL SHUT IT OUT AND CRAWL BACK INTO MY HOLE.

  • @STON3SL1VEMU5IC  I don't understand, I kill it.

  • oh god sakes! Your facts are stupid Beck, wat is so bloody wrong with the idea of global warning? y must people rally against it, wats so wrong with caring a little more about the earth, planting more trees and investing more into enviro friendly energy programs.

  • @elfchick9 What is so wrong about destroying capitalism for a lie? What is so wrong about spending 15 trillion dollars for a lie? What is so wrong about implimenting worldwide socialism on man for a lie? What is so wrong about destoying man's only hope for freedom and condeming man to a 1000 years of socialist slavery? Hitler's 1000 year reich is alive and well thanks to the lies of the left. Vote every dem out in 2012! Your life depends on it!!!!!

  • @dbohnenkamper lol u can always tell a shit debater when they bring in extreme events of history like Hitler to back up their arguments. capitalism isn't going to be destroyed due to better more environmental based energy programs and changing peoples views on wat damage we are having on our earth. my life isn't going to depend whether republican or democrats are voted in....i'm australian so i dont really care.

  • @elfchick9 the majority of people who "believe" in man caused warming (al la CO2) are not Nazi although most are violent and would like to jail people with opposing viewpoints. I think the green ideology is more like the Taliban because greenies are horrible debaters and would rather just kill you.

  • @GreenChurchReject that is one of the most ridiculous and insane things i have ever heard, how dare u say something so untrue and fearfulled. its comments like that which creates fear and worry among the general population and is the reason y we cant have reasonable debates over something of great importance. and its those comments which are similar to the taliban cos they resort to fear to get their way

  • @GreenChurchReject Peer reviewed source for your statement or are you spouting opinion again?

    According to one recent study reported in the Guardian, there are now 8,500 former servicemen in prison, making up almost 10% of the prison population. Armed services personnel may dress in "green" but they aren't environmentalists as you suggest.

    Judging by your past comments your statement better fits you especially you..."would like to jail people with opposing viewpoints"

  • @dbohnenkamper You misunderstood me! If the left is allowed to destroy capitalism as is their goal then mankind will slip into 1000's of years of socialists slavery....just as Hitler dreamed of...you on the left are never more than a generation away from your goals

  • @dbohnenkamper Stop being divided and conquered! The left are capitalists too (George Soros? Warren Buffet? Bill Gates?) And Hitler's goal was to DESTROY THE SOCIALISTS, so Hitler had no such dream of "socialists slavery." And, if the left is "never more than a generation away from your goals" then why have so many generations gone by without these nefarious goals being born out. You're being played like a fiddle by those that would divide our country.

  • @hyaenidae National SOCIALISTS Dumb fuk!

  • @dbohnenkamper Nice. You run around YouTube telling people the liberal mantra is "hate, not debate," and then engage in this grade school name calling. You're such a transparent hypocrite, it's laughable.

    Yes, the Nazi Party is the National Socialists Worker's Party. So? Read Hitler's speech at the Reichstag, 1933. Obviously, you're an ignorant troglodyte android from Hell, that thrives off meaningless platitudes, spouted without any regard to historical context.

  • @hyaenidae Hate not Debate! The lefties label, global Warming skeptics "Deniers" , lefties can't wait to call someone a "racist" etc....NATIONAL SOCIALISM...obummer NATIONALIZED THE CAR CO'S HE NATIONALIZED THE STUDENT LOANS , He socialized HealthCare! So I am a Denier, racist,android from Hell.....You are a Big-Brother enabler. I an an individualist. You are a group think zombie. You want me in a re-education camp. camp counselers will strangely be dissappearing if you put me in a camp

  • @dbohnenkamper Now you're just ranting. I've never called you a racist, and no one wants you in a re-education camp. It's called "the marketplace of ideas," upon which the Republic was founded. Deal with it.

  • @dbohnenkamper You're showing your disdain for facts again. Obama hasn't "nationalised" the car companies. The feds bought 60% of ONE company's, GM's, stock; GM is now the biggest car company in the world AGAIN, and the stock is being sold at market value at a profit to the Treasury; GM has repaid nearly its entire loan. Federal Student Loans started under Lyndon Johnson in 1965; that program has enabled millions of Americans to get degrees, the economic value of which is incalculable.

  • @hyaenidae Obama ignored bankruptcy laws settled for over 100 years and gave the unions GM and Chrysler stock and ignored the bondholders who are supposed to be first in line....look it up...then chairman obama called the bondholders greedy. He gave their stock to the unions!

  • @hyaenidae hate not debate....."I am showing my disdain for "facts"....."now I am just ranting"..HATE NOT DEBATE.....Obama Nationalized Student Loans in his socialized health care plan....look it up.....Go watch Milton Freedman's video where he destroys Phil Donahue

  • @dbohnenkamper You're showing your disdain for facts again. Obama hasn't "nationalised" the car companies. The feds bought 60% of ONE company's, GM's, stock; GM is now the biggest car company in the world AGAIN, the stock is being sold at market value at a profit to the Treasury; GM has repaid nearly its entire loan. Federal Student Loans started under Lyndon Johnson in 1965; that program has enabled millions of Americans to get degrees, the economic value of which is incalculable.

  • @hyaenidae Hitler wanted to destroy Communists not socialists....Hitler wanted to destroy Jews. Hitler was a dictator/like Stalin, Chaves, Castro etc.........I did not mean hitler wanted a 1000 years of "socialist slavery". I meant that Socialism will accomplish Hitler's goal of a 1000 years of human slavery if they are allowed to accomplish their goals.

  • @dbohnenkamper But wait!! You're constantly conflating the two yourself! Your line is always "socialist/communist/democrat/­liberal". So they're different to prove one point, but the same to prove another? You can't have it both ways.

    And yes, it was the Communists HItler vowed to destroy ... after he co-opted the National Socialists and turned it into a fascist dictatorship. Because as you know, Communism is a derivative of and a transitory political phase to true Socialism.

  • @hyaenidae and in comminism you are dead if you question it. Is that the kind of world you want to live in hyaenidae?

    Where you and me typing results in murder?

    socialism is a failure....look at Europe today . Communism is a failure look at the Soviet Union and the 100 million murders. Capitalism has given man freedom! And only for a short period of time the rest of man's history is Tryant rulers murdering their subjects who live like hobbits while the ruling elites thrive. You favor this!

  • @dbohnenkamper Show me where I've said I favor this.

  • @hyaenidae In fact, I'll make it easy: show where I've simply implied that I favor this.

  • @dbohnenkamper "socialism is a failure....look at Europe today"

    Better quality of life than the USA?

  • @franklouuu nore freedom better healthcare social sercerity and housing join any political group you like yes better

  • @dbohnenkamper Solving the climate change puzzle wil most certainly NOT destroy capitalism. Your idea of capitalism must be a weak, anemic joke if you think it can be destroyed by environmental regulation. In fact, solving the puzzle of climate change will strengthen, broaden, and deepen our economy, not destroy it.

  • @hyaenidae It is the goal of the left to destroy capitalism.......the solution to global warming is to destroy capitalism. My point is my my my what a total coincidence! Not! Does Scientific method ring a bell? And it is not "climate change" it is global warming....fucking Big-Brother puppet! You on the left do not get to define the language of global warming!

  • @dbohnenkamper  That logic is based upon a highly debatable assumption, and on top of that reeks to high heaven of the oldest fallacy in the book: post hoc ad hoc. You're not making any sense.

    Solve this one for me. Since 1970, the Clean Air Act has reduced toxic and health-threatening air pollution by 60 percent (American Lung Assn.) while our economy has grown more than 200 percent (google "gdp").

    Where did these "capitalism destroying" regulations go wrong? Not enough hippies?

  • @hyaenidae Not one scientist says that man can not pollute his enviroment. Pollution is not Earth's climate. The trick these EPA socialists/marxists/communists­/liberals/dem use is this ....they find a geological location that has energy potential.....then some graduate student does a paper on say a simple flower.....the graduate then studies the common flower or clover and low and behold he discovers a slight generic differense.....he sues the EPA.....

  • @hyaenidae Then magically the grad student and the EPA "settle" their suit agreeing to place the unique clover on the endangered species list. The judge has no choice but to accept their "settlement"......I say congress should void all EPA premedidated endangered species. Premedidated meaning if a known commodity exists before the suit!  Congess should decide not liberal activists.

  • @dbohnenkamper There are so many straw man assumptions in this little scenario. What tripe. Show me one provable, evidence-based example where this is true and not just right-wing conspiracy garbage.

    You think that graduate students are automatically activists, and that they collude with the EPA to premeditatively shutter potential energy extraction sites. You're proving you haven't even an elementary interest in how these agencies even operate, let alone their function and history.

  • @dbohnenkamper And you still haven't answer my question, which is based in fact, not little scenarios I make up on YT. Answer me this before you take another step: Since 1970, the Clean Air Act has reduced toxic and health-threatening air pollution by 60 percent (American Lung Assn.) while our economy has grown more than 200 percent (google "gdp").

    Here is evidence that your conspiracy theory of the grand EPA-Grad Student-Marxist axis of evil falls apart. Rebuttals must have evidence.

  • @dbohnenkamper Actually, it was the minority opinion scientists who posited the term "climate change" as it reflects the true nature of the change: some areas heat up, others cool off, the whole system changes, and who's to say it will end up in a warmer planet after the energy balances have completed? It's a more accurate description, posited by those you might actually agree with, so stop frothing at the mouth.

  • @hyaenidae you are right Climate will change...soon it will get cold in US but In Australia it will get warmer.....then in spring it will get warmer in US...while other areas might experience Monsoons........ALL DRIVEN BY THE SUN! All normal.....Answer me this .......what is the perfect "climate "? At what date was the climate at equallibriam? At what date will liberals/socialist/communists/­democrats/ecoterrorists stablize the climate. Global Warming is science.....Political Science.

  • @dbohnenkamper The most recent period between glaciations has been relatively stable: about the last 12,000 years. That's relative stability, not absolute stability. The climate by its very nature is never in total equilibrium; I'm talking about the stabilization of the current disruptions in the global carbon and nitrogen cycles since the Holocene epoch re-balancing. Our activities cannot destroy the Earth, but they can make it a lot less habitable, and no one wants that.

  • Here is the fact:  Man can not change one summer thunderstorm. Man can not change 1/1000th of one summer thunderstorm.

  • @dbohnenkamper What does that have to do with the price of apples?

  • The only people ignorant and gullible enough to fall for this oil company horseshit are Americans. You ignorant dozy barbarians.

  • @nilbud but the wise nilbud who gets his news from state controlled big brother knows all, compared to Americans that are free to free think. Hey nilbud Big-Brother sucks....Big Brother lies....BIG BROTHER IS NOT COOL! GROUP THINK IS NOT COOL! Freedom is cool. Free thinking is cool. Individualism is cool......Look how they got you brainwashed! Big Oil is bad...Big Corps are bad but Big Government is good....Big Unions are good.....Big Govt never shows political preference and is fair.

  • Comment removed

  • Lets see, a political group that wants to end capitalism(socialists,liberals­,marxists,communists,democrats­) backs and finances a "scientific" cause whose only cure is the end to evil capitalism. No conflict of interest there. Vote every dem out in 2012 (just like 2011, 11 months ago)! Your life depends on it!

  • @dbohnenkamper You're so stupid it's hilarious. Your fear and ignorance are a tribute to slavery.

  • @nilbud big shock from a lib scum .....I am stupid....no facts just attack! HATE NOT DEBATE IS THE MANTRA OF THE LEFT......

  • @nilbud We are liberal group think robots....our leaders are so smart they can predict not just weather but climate too and let me check my numbers again....yes they are correct ....unless capitalism is completely dismantled the world will end, seas will rise 20 feet and temps will rise ....let me check my numbers again...yes, temps will rise 10 degrees and the world will end if we do not shut down capitalism and install marxism, communism, liberalism, and douchebagism. Group think rules man!

  • @dbohnenkamper We are conservative group think robots....our leaders are so smart they can predict not just warfare, but economics too and let me check my numbers again....yes they are correct ....unless liberalism is completely dismantled the world will end, capitalism will be destroyed and Hitler will rise ....let me check my numbers again...yes, the Third Reich marches and the world will end if we do not shut down liberalism, neo-conservativism and zombie-ism. Group think rules man!

  • @dbohnenkamper That "prophecy" is equal parts ignorance and hyper-paranoia. And this from someone who talks about the scientific method as if you give a flying crap about objective reasoning, which it's evident that you don't based on your statements here. You're transparent.

  • Reading comments on this video are like asking grade schoolers about the theory of relativity. if you aren't researching global warming before stating your opinions you should probably keep it to your selves.

  • "Deaths per year from extreme weather are down 95% since 1920."

    What the hell does that have to do with global warming? Of course it's down 95% percent thanks to improved infrastructure, a greater ability to predict storms and improved early warning systems. Talk about cherry picking your facts.

  • @imjtblanton your totaly right. Anyone with a brain should be able to realize that. It sickens me that people here that, dont think about what those facts mean, and call global warming a scam. Right wing brainless scumbags

  • @deefeesh Wow, I wasn't trying to say that. Thanks for agreeing with me, but I'm not trying to call anyone a brainless scumbag. People who don't believe in Global Warming aren't stupid I just disagree with them.

  • @deefeesh Oh and it's "YOU'RE totally right" not your. And "It sickens me that people HEAR that" not here. Proofread before calling an entire group of people brainless.

  • I Just can't belive how much stupidity is broadcasted on television these days. It is a proven fact that gases like CO2 are capable of absorbing and re-emitt infrared radiation that contributes to a rise in temperature in a sistem where these gases are present. Humans have been emiting these substances to the atmosfere in colossal quantities for the last 300 years and although the earth has some mechanisms to prevent global warming they are simply not enough due to this huge amounts.

  • @TheDragons4ever True. Earth's various systems are extremely adaptable and flexible, but largely on the geologic scale at which they operate, not at our "fast" human scale at which civilization operates. It's too much for the systems to handle in such short a time.

  • global warming is a myth its actually climate change all it is doing is shifting a few degrees

  • I'm so glad to hear this because people need to realize how silly it is to be told that our activities has increased the overall CO2 concentration of the atmosphere. How small do you think the atmosphere is?... It would be like dumping salt into the ocean, it will take massive quantities of salt to cause any significant change. In addition, we were also told that early earth was covered in CO2, and the temperature didn't rise out of control, it actually decreased dramatically when life began.

  • @ogpwr Just before the industrial age, atmospheric CO2 was about 278 parts per million (ppm) in concentration. In 1979 it was at 330 ppm. Today it's around 391 ppm. (esrl noaa gov) Since 1751, roughly 315 billion tons of carbon have been released to the atmosphere from human activity. The volume of Earth's atmosphere is about 1.08 billion cubic miles. So, we've increased the concentration of over a billion cubic miles of volume by 110 ppm in about 150 years. It's clear we've increased it.

  • @hyaenidae point well taken. I still don't see why increase in temperature isn't a natural phenomenon, especially since we're entering a solar maximum.

  • @ogpwr The reasoning is that we've been through many solar maxima in recent history; they occur every 9 to 14 years. For the past 100 years, the observations of solar maxima don't show any correlation with the increase in surface temperatures during that time; that is, their numbers don't match up in a statistically significant way. However, the increase in global atmospheric CO2 concentrations do show a correlation with the increase in surface temperatures: why CO2 is the main culprit.

  • My boy Glenn Truth

  • @Nightversion

    Right. Because we ALL know Al Gore is a LOT more credible than Glenn Beck. I mean, it's not as if humans don't exhale CO2 naturally. Hey! Wait a minute! Now THERE'S an idea. If global warming activists are REALLY concerned about the planet, they should start holding their breath for a looooooooooong time

  • @BlackFox0911

    And you wonder why no one bothers to talk to deniers anymore. They simply can't be counted on to say anything worth debating.

  • I bet he is a friendless lonely man

  • @titololgt

    He knows alot of people from drug and alcohol rehab.

  • Green cultists you mad?

  • Wow, didn't he just broadcast his ignorance of both the history of our planet, and the nature and concept of science as a whole. And if you're going to pretend to argue scientifically, you should at least go easy on the polemic vocabulary.

    Old men failing to keep up with the world. It's hard to adapt to new information that conflicts with one's world view. Much easier to come up with a conspiracy that is by nature irrefutable.

    Reality doesn't care either way.

  • john Coleman, wheres your phd, oh? you dont have one? shut up

    VERY scientific, Mr. Founder of The Weather Channel to come with a hypothesis that I'm sure you haven't tested and THEN, without doing so, accept it as fact.. How do you KNOW that the reasons you gave that could influence said Ph.D's were cooking and "massing their data" to jump on a financially lucrative bandwagon?

    It sounds like you are just rationalizing your biased perspective.

    Beck is obviously NOT biased just so he can sell books and get attention. Beck is a SHOWMAN and a entertainer, but just because people listen to him does not mean that he is correct! Getting attention and being correct are two separate things.

    It is irrational thinking that if man can have an influence on the environment, it can only be a POSITIVE influence and an intention influence, and a negative influence (intentional or not) can never happen.

  • I am always amused by these "religiously-motivated" naysayers who would insist that global warming is the product of a New World Order, or corrupt big business interests. I am an atheist, yet I notice that Revelations prophesises that in the "end days" man shall be brought to curse god because the world becomes very, very hot. So, whatever, apparently even the bible would have it that we ARE all going to burn ~ smogged, or sun-fried! So ~ what the fuck does it matter to these christian dicks?

  • And where did you go to school Glen? How many scientific papers have you published? I ask you, who is more the fool? The fool(gb) or the fools that follow him?
