  • how could palin take on gore??? she doesnt even know what newspaper she reads!

  • Palin would get destroyed. It would be like watching a puppy trying to cross a busy intersection.

  • If Sarah Palin were to debate Hillary Clinton, we would never hear from Palin ever again.

  • Palin vs. Gore, Palin vs Obama. I would love either one of those.

  • Sarah Palin Being in denial implies that she knows a fact to deny

  • Palin vs. Gore = Dumbo vs. Pinocchio.

  • Haha and Palin also thinks she can take on Watson at Jeopardy.

  • @abutful dude are u retarted canadians don't sound like Sarah palin I would know I am one...

  • Why was Jayar dressed like that? lol

  • If I were Al Gore, I would say "anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Bring it!"

  • were just hairless apes anyway. why should we care about brains? life's too short. whatever we're just beasts of the field

    anti-intelligence we should be more worried about our penises and the magick therein, hunuh. penises put us here. brains didn't exactly;

  • she could lose a debate to a head of lettuce

  • Who would possibly be scared to debate a moron like Palin?

  • If it's a conventional FAIR debate I can't win because I'm a FUCKING IDIOT who can't name any founding fathers.

  • Al gore is on the run, he aint debating anyone...lol :)

  • i would pay to see that shit.

  • Whaaa?!! This buffoon is going to have a scientific debate about climatology? Wait a minute..she is actually suggesting entering a debate on what is only, only, a matter of scientific fact?Its like she said she was going to have a debate on the Big Bang.This is actually a scientific topic.This is a travesty.Well,it won't happen anyway,but just imagining it is enough.She represents ignorance,xenophobia,cynicism and balkanization.In power she could have dealt a death blow to America's credibility.

  • I'm canadian and that bitch has an accent that makes me want to punch her in the face. I don't fucking sound like that and I'm fucking canadian! I don't even know people who sound like that! Maybe I'm too far south... God dammit she's stupid though. I'm glad she's not in my country.

  • Wee Wee'd it up?...F**ked it up?

  • bitch can't spell "debate". look mofos, the planet is warming, its a fact STFU

  • Sarah is stupid.

  • i dont believe in global warming.. but Sara Palin is still an idiot

  • @1Mafioso4 you are an idiot as well

  • @goldstar971 your mother..

  • Palin would want no part of Gore in debate about ANYTHING!!

  • @jermaine550 "I'm not gonna answer that, but I'll tell you about the hard-working Americans pulling up their bootstraps"

  • dumbest almost vice pres vs smartest vice pres. come on

  • Two idiots babbling on about crap they know nothing about.

  • Mrs. Palin: "it depends on the venue...how much will i be paid to get my ass handed to me? you betcha, heck yeah! i'll let al gore nut in my eye for six figures!"

  • she just sucks

  • I think she means "Oui Oui"ed it up, like made it more French. Remember, the French are socialist-nazi-progressive-com­munist-marxist-maoist-fascist-­liberal

  • Sarah Palin debating All Gore is like a gunfight between Elmer Fudd and Rambo.

  • @FuckYouLetMeLogIn what a stalemate?rambo firing millions of rounds against a immortal cartoon character

  • Jeepers creepers, don't get all wee-wee'd up about global warming, you betcha!

  • TROLL ALERT TROLL ALERT.

  • I would pay money to see this debate.

  • 1georg57, I am amazed by your literary acumen. Is this a form of Conservative EBONICS? you know, how right wingers stamp on minorities for their supposed poor English. But guess you can make your own "dialect" and it sounds cool. Misspelling, F***up grammer and trunkated words make your "coments" extremely "dump" . Oh I apologize for using words that are on a basic 9th grade level. U evidence here that you have not gone that far. "my bade dud" JohnnyMEldrige, your right on point.

  • AHHAHHAHHAAHHAA!!!!

    Conservative EBONICS!

    Did you make that up?

  • Palin vs. Gore? I would LOVE to see that.

  • @Spiderweb127 Why? You want to see Palin cry don't you? LMFAO, I'm in!

  • you see, this is a typical right-winger response. You make no grammatical sense and just allude to facts. please rewrite your commnt so it makes some sense or just keep your fingers off the keyboard, please and thank you

  • Johnny, ur right on point. It is only right wing wackjobs who can mispell and act moronic and it somehow comes across as patriotic. When progressives write articulately, they are accused of being Educational elitists. Fact is there are learned people on both sides of the political spectrum. However, extremists tend to be just like you said man.

  • Fact according to Sarah Palin: The world was created 6,000 years ago by the God of her version of Christianity, Adam and Eve were the 1st people on earth, a guy named Noah built an Ark and placed two of every creature on earth on it to survive the flood that her loving God created to kill every living creature on earth not on the Ark because they didn't believe in him and if you don't teach this as fact to school children you're promoting liberal bias discriminating against poor conservatives.

  • This guy is just another fucking dumb ass liberal trying to look like a big shot making fun of people for saying something odd, i mean I've met 6 year olds more mature than him i mean come on people need to lay off conservatives don't do this EVER we are at least mature about things and deal with logical things instead of someones Canadian dialect COME ON!! get over yourselves

  • i never, ever, EVER ,EVER,EVER, FUCKING EVER, say this, but palin looks bush look like fucking albert einstien. that is saying something if she gets president i want bush back.

  • I think liberal media is biased as well. Everyone is biased, but that doesn't make Sarah Palin any smarter. Infact she just see's worse for not looking at her own biases.

  • @Chooky707 I admit to being quite liberal and I agree. It's impossible to be completely objective, and the left wing is just as biased in just as many news forums as the right wing.

  • @Chooky707 Not so much wrong with bias, it's more if you aren't aware of the bias..

  • @Chooky707 I agree with you like 100% My teacher told me once when I was little that "Everyone is Biased about everything to a degree, the Biased is what makes political world go round, in reality we need Biased!"

  • @Chooky707 The idea of it all being a 'liberal media' is a myth.

  • @Neanderthalcouzin I never said it was all liberal media. But there certainly exists left bias in some news shows. Just as there exist right wing bias in others.

  • @Chooky707 The media is not liberal. Do I really need to explain? You know what? I'm just sick of this crap. Buy into the lies all you want. Just stay ignorant, you moron. I would normally lay out a logical and factually accurate argument, but I have been doing that on YouTube and elsewhere forever, and it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. You are an idiot, and all 15 of your "Thumbs up" voters are too. Just keep watching Fox and keep your head up your ass. I'm done with you.

    Jackass.

  • @xJoeEDangerouslyx I didn't say "The media is liberal." I said the "I think liberal media is biased AS WELL". I am a liberal and the only time I watch Fox is when I need the laughs. Every peice of media is biased in someway. I'm sure if you reread my comment you'll see that you've misread it. Have a nice day :)

  • OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DEAR ALL MY GODS YES!!!!!!

    I'd vote for Al Gore right now if he agreed to humiliate Sarah Palin on live t.v.

  • you know if the republicans want to nominate judy guliani

    or such fine but why nominate this stupid stupid women

  • Are you kidding me?  Sarah would annihilate Al Gore. He would never debate her - he is too chicken.

    Gore has never debated anyone about "global warming" because the facts are not on his side. The earth is not warming. It is a scam in order to redistribute welath and enrich liberals.

    Sarah would unmask Gore as the fraud that he is.

    Sarah Palin vs. Al Gore would be a joke. Al Gore is not in the same league as her intellectually. She is 100 times more intelligent than he is.

  • ? Is this satire?

    How about a scientific debate with a woman who believes dinosaurs walked with human until noah didn't let them on the ark. All happening less than 10,000 years ago.

    ???

  • @Eaglesfaninca Sarah does not believe any of this. She never said that.

    Those are lies spread about her. She has more REAL and TRUE scientific knowledge in her little pinky than Gore has in his whole body. Gore has never debated anyone - I wonder why not. People who believe the earth is warming are the real nuts.

  • you're a joke.

    More lies? Is everyone lieing about her?  Is it all a big conspriacy against her?

    You are a gullible little troll.

  • @Eaglesfaninca Not everybody is lying about Sarah -- just liberals. Al Gore knows nothing about science either. If so he would debate his farcical contention tha the earth is warming.

    You don't need to be versed in science to recognize a Marxist redistributionist scam when you see one.

    I absolutely maintian that Sarah Palin is ten times as smart as Gore and would annihnilate him in a debate.

  • Al Gore is NOT a scientist. he is only representing them, my guess is because all of the tv commentator's in America a far right ani-intellectual, anti-science, creationist types. Like you.

    I'll ask again. What does Sarah Palin know about science?

  • @Eaglesfaninca I am not anti-science, anti-intellectual at all. I simply believe that Al Gore is a con man.

    I doubt Sarah knows much more about science than the average person, but she is truthful about what she does know. She does not perpetrate lies about science like Gore does.

    If he is such a great spokesman why does he never answer questions? He will not debate anyone. Hmmm, why is this?

  • AL GORE IS NOT A SCIENTIST. Let the scientists debate these phony commentator's and politicians.

    So you think Global warming is all a BIG conspiracy? That has been going on for over 20 years? WIth THOUSANDS of Scientists? An overwhelming majority of scientists do believe in it.

    So is it a conspiracy or something?

  • @Eaglesfaninca Precisely! I'm glad you have finally seen the light. The scientists are all funded by governments. The scientists are in it for the money. It is a grand conspiracy to redistribute wealth. Thank goodness you now agree.

  • Wow... What about 9/11? Was that a conspiracy to get us into war?

  • The entire media is in on a big conspiracy against Palin too right?

    Is there also an atheistic conpiracy behind the theory of evolution?

  • @Eaglesfaninca This is real progress. You really are starting to see the light. Yes, the media is in on the "global warming" scam. They are ignoring the fact that the earth is actually cooling.

    The media is indeed out to screw Sarah, (probably because she knows the truth about the "global warming" scam ) but it will not work.

    9/11 - no, that was 19 muslims who murdered 3,000 people - no conspiracy involved.

  • Why could that not be a conspriacy also?  Are you saying that nobody makes any money off of war? Redistibuting wealth?

  • So global warming is a conspiracy between the media, Al Gore and all of the scientists worldwide? Who else do you think is involved?

  • And how is it when this so called climate gate was shown in the media, that there was no single e-mail where scientist agree on the conspiracy, where they actually agree on a lie? all you found where some e-mails, were they were concerned about a specific year, which didn't fit into the trend of the last decade - everybody with a science education knows that these figures will occur in complex systems, so the e-mails were legitimate ones. go and learn science instead of watching glenn beck!

  • He's not a scientist, but he has been studying this for 30 years.... I think we can call him an expert. Anyone that has seen Inconvenient Truth will know he knows what he's talking about.

  • He Does have a good understanding, definetely.

    These climate change deniers are amazing...  They are as bad as creationists.

  • Al Gore dosen't do WHAT?

    Find book on enviromental activism written in the last ten years. Read book and note the times Al Gore is mentioned.

    I mean just... just... good God son, why the HELL do you have to make right wingers look so damn stupid!

  • dont put God and hell in the same sentence thank you.

  • You just did! XD

  • @jpav0923 Consider that not one scientific institute of national or international standing in the whole world denies climate change.

    Not a single one.

    The oil lobby and Saudi Arabia were the main groups in Copenhagen posing an opposite view.

    In the USA only the far right are pushing the denial agenda.

    Those who support the oil corps have been duped by conspiracy theory and glossy campaigns.

    NewScientist web site is a good accessible place to search for science's genuine opinion.

  • @Eaglesfaninca I don't need a scientist to tell me it's 20 degrees in South Texas, and it's the second year in a row of record low temps and snowfall. I live here.

  • Do you (or Sarah Palin) know the procedures in researching global warming?

    Do you deny that the iraq war which made Dick Cheney's old company (Haliburton) BILLIONS of Tax Payer dollars is a redistribution of wealth?

  • And that ain't normal partner. The only times there is records of that in either native oral traditons or recorded history or even fossil records has been linked to times of massive climate change.

    Freakishly cold weather some years will mean freakishly hot summer times other years.

    You live in south Texas? My advise to you is to invest in a crate of MRE's and a pair of guard dogs.

  • LOL. Good one. I've heard that cold winter/hot sumer theory for years, but I spent the majority of my 47 years in Chicago, and it never really seemed to pan out. Matter of fact, Chicago had a horrible winter last year, barely had a summer to speak of, and is now in the midst of another brutally cold and snowy winter. Looks more like an Ice age than global warming to me, but hey climate change is climate change. Any excuse to raise taxes and take away our freedom will do.

  • How does fighting global warming raise your taxes and take away your freedoms bud?

    Cold winter, summer hot theory... That's not a theory son, that's called a natural cycle. And it's going to get far more extream in the next few years.

    *shrug* don't say you wern't warned.

  • I'm glad to see some people out there who are still right in their mind

  • @johnscck I have lived in chicago for over 39 yrs and have to disagree with you things are warrmer here then when I was a kid also the last 10 yrs was the hottest ever on record, so what dose that have to do with freedom? cause it's not just the lib's telling you what you can do with your body or your mind? freedom ? wtf like the freedom emmit till had?

  • was there ever any debate where sarah palin himuluated anybody than herself? as an idiot you obviously don't understand al gore and for you sarah's folksy shit makes more sense, but believe me in the adult world she is a joke - lets debate foreign policy: I can see russia from my house - brainless zombie!!

  • Where did Sarah Palin study science?

  • Simple, honest question. No need to keep dodging it.

  • Is she still traveling around the US in her 'Sarah-embroidered-presidentia­l-NASA-jacket'? Why isn't she committed instead & chemically adjusted..?

  • Republicans have gone off the deep end...

  • THE TRUTH ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING is this it is happing but not as badly as advertised. the spokes people for this are selling it like the cherchs sold damnnation. it is enivatable but it can be fought. and just like a cherch the ones singing are the ones who sin just as much if not more.

    it is there but it is not bad as advertised. damn the dinosers were victims to it and they had no help at all. imigain ous moving it along just a little quicker.

  • @hollywoodjokerpicalo

    Are you an educated scientist who has spent years furiously studying global climate change? Have you closely followed the research of your colleagues in the field? If not, how can you possibly claim to know the "real truth" about an issue like this? On what do you base your opinions?

    And BTW, the K-T event that killed off the dinosaurs was almost certainly caused by an asteroid impact that sent millions of tons of debris into the atmosphere, not CO2 emissions.

  • I followed what the AiG guys on Penn and teller's bullshit told me. but to be serious it all depends on what side of the news your watching at the time. the dem side has a list of scientist and name brand teams like nasa and a bigger percentege of scientist saying it's true. while on the rep side you see one or 2 scientist saying it's a lie and a list on companys that would bennifit if they prove it dosen't exist. i say lets not polute no mater what the out come and imporve or slefs as human

  • For the most part, I simply discount what the Reps say because they are mostly insane. Seriously, those people are either totally in bed with big business, religious fanatics, racists, or all three. They are all fucking certifiable. They don't believe in science (re: evolution) so why should I give heed to their pet "experts?"

    And just so you don't think I'm just biased, I think the Dems are totally worthless as well. The best thing I can say about them is that they aren't Republicans.

  • soooo true. the dems are diverse so they drag their feet on stuff. good thing global warming is not a race or class issue.  maybe that's why the rep dosen't want to deal with it because they want to have monopoly on fear and the dems are cutting in on there profits.

  • yeah i had a good laugh at the "conference" that recently took place in copenhagen. All the private jets etc. If they truely were concerned and we are in that much danger they would have a "go to meeting" conference on the net and saved 1000 sq miles of icebergs and polar bears they killed off with all that jet fuel...

  • @dmb3428-

    Yeah, that was really something wasn't it?  What a bunch of hypocritical BS that accomplished nothing.

  • Such a debate would maybe give people a good laugh, but it would be pointless. I don't think that Mrs. Palin really has an opinion on important issues. She seems to be too malinformed and unreflective for that.

  • Cenk you gotta work on your Palin impersonation... You got the voice right, but she tends to BUG her eyes out really big when stumped, and she rolls her head like a sassy 13 year old when she thinks she's being clever.

  • It is so deeply satisfying to hear Cenk take Palin to task EVERY TIME SHE DESERVES IT

    UGH.

    It hurts so good!

  • I think we need a debate, lets talk about the leaked emails....Lets talk about how gore is heavily invested in the "green" industry.... I would like to have the hardcore fact exposed and not spin . I dont think this is about actually fixing the climate, there's too much money involved.

  • @dmb3428

    Well, you're right, there is too much money involved. However, somehow I really don't believe it's coming from "big green energy." How about Exxon? Shell? BP? Chevron?

    What a terrible world it would be if the "green energy" lobby had its way though. Just imagine the horror; eventually our energy production might come from non-polluting renewable sources rather than the burning of fossil fuels. What a frightening prospect. Smells like more of that "Democrat communism..."

  • our econamy almost failed because these big oil companys were spending too much of there own money. the problem with saving the world is it puts police and paramedics out of work. our system is dependent on there money to pay croked polititions so unless the green people can get some real green to line the pockets of polititions. nothing will be done about it. but who knows maybe some day our presedents might stop bowing to and kissing Saudi kings. so we can get real progress for ourplanet

  • Gore has nothing to win by debating Palin. It's like fighting a 14-year old kid on the bball court, "good job, you beat a kid." And if the kid lands a punch or two: "wow, he really showed you."

  • this would be good because gore never debates and palin would come in with sick good taling points. Gore is a pussy whitch is why I did not vote for him in 2000 and Sarah would look good attacking him. but if Gore changed the talking point Sarah would look real dumb real quick.

  • oh PLEASE - PLEASE DEBATE GORE.... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! I would LOVE to watch Gore hand palin her ass

  • I would like to se Al Gore smash Palin in a debate just to shut her up for the next year

  • If the debate is a "stiff and stupid" debate then wow, that's one hell of a debate.

  • Gore has better things to do.

  • Wow that dumb bitch vs Al Gore that milf wink and you betcha shit wouldn't work on him.

  • this is why the rest of the world laughs at America. We don't accept Science. We refuse science. We deny evolution, and we deny global warming as man made because it is inconvenient for us. Come on. Sarah Palin is all that is wrong with America.

  • do your own research, youll find more scientists and experts saying global warming is a scam or based on faulty science

    dont take my word for it though, look into it yourself :)

  • i don't think you have to worry about any of us taking your word on anything, climate change is real and has been established and supported by pretty much the entire scientific community

  • You mean mass media. Again, do your OWN research, something Americans aren't used to ever having to do, however try it for once.

    You will find it isn't so one sided, there is zero conclusive proof, the charts are always tampered with, recent emails PROVING scientists are exaggerating (and lying in some cases) and there are literally THOUSANDS of scientists protesting against it and calling it a big hoax.

    Not so black and white now, is it? Think for yourselves, people.

  • It saddens me to hear so much of this e-mail hoax crap spreading around people hear the word "trick" and the phrase "hide the decline" and are so stunned they don't bother to look at what the actual content of the emails were, and there aren't literally thousnds of scientists protesting, the truth of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of the scientific community support the scientific evidence supporting man made climate change.

  • @excelinferno123 "research" requires more than 30 minutes on Google, which is exactly where climate change deniers get thier information. Scientists ALWAYS argue, they don't agree100% on ANYTHING, even the theory of gravity.

  • Zombie facts, zombie arguments. You're an idiot, and what you think of as "research", what you think of as "arguments", have already been refuted many times over. It's a shame. It's very unscientific. It may destroy civilisation as we know it. I think that's a bad idea; you may disagree.

  • I assume her idea of a fair debate is showing up in a talking box on the Glenn Beck program.

  • Sarah Palin debating Gore would be what is known as a distraction.

    Instead of having a true debate by two knowledgeable scientists, we have this phony event. Now it becomes socially unacceptable speak against the science of climate change. New taxes are then ushered in on the middle class. The money is then given to the upper class to pretend to fix the invented problem with a bogus, illogical solution of carbon futures trading.

    Also, it'll save the children.. and animals and such.

  • Lord Monckton has offered Al Gore to debate. Al Gore has not responded. Al Gore is a liar and a coward who wants to make money of you gullible sheeps to impose a Carbon tax. The world wont drown without Al Gore, he is not a saviour or a scientist just a lying politician out there to make money.

  • Gore gives all the money he gets from this issue to charity...good try though. If your on Sarah Palin's side good luck to you.

  • It's the same thing with evolution. they manufacture a controversy

  • Lord Monckton is not a scientist. He's a business consultant. He's no more of an expert than Al Gore.

    Most of Monckton's works have been torn apart by scientists and his claims about the Copenhagen summit was a flat-out lie:

    (dot) politifact (dot) com / truth - o - meter / statements /2009 / oct/ 20 / christopher - monckton / british - climate - skeptic - says - copenhagen - treaty - thr/

    Monckton is getting rich off bullshit pseudoscience.

  • Hed be a better candidate to debate Al Gore the pseudoscientist. Palin is a moron with no brain.

  • I agree. But if Gore is a pseudoscientist what does that make Monckton? Though Al Gore has made several big scientific errors Monckton has made even more and his view is little more scientifically accepted than Creationism.

    I don't listen to any of those three when it comes to climate change. I listen to scientists. Neither Gore nor Monckton nor especially Palin are scientists.

  • Yes your right Monckton is no scientist neither is Gore neither are the bought shills that work for IPCC. Do you agree with the fact that the only reason they have brought up the climate issue is for Global Taxation and profit for the Internation Monetary Fund which is a consortium of the big banks.

  • Corporate America has its hands in all sides. Corporations lobby to both not clean up at all (which saves billions) and lobbies in favor of carbon taxes which is very lucrative for energy companies because of the carbon permits trading market and derivatives market.

    Either way they have their hands it in. Much like corporate America has its hands in both parties. Personally I think the idea of the "untax" might be the way to go.

    Still, science is science whether or not it benefits anyone.

  • The argument is simple, man-made climate change is popular because there are big financial interests behind it, if you want to talk purely science then politics and financial interests should be kept seperated from science. There are thousands of scientists that are on either side of the debate, but the majority of scientists that agree are shills so they cannot be trusted.

  • And you base this on what? 97% of climate scientists and 92% of scientists in general are shills because AGW being real could possibly justify carbon taxes? What do you base this conspiracy theory on? Most scientists make little if any money from climate research.

    Your logic is like saying the cold is a conspiracy because it's beneficial to cough medicine companies. Besides, AGW not being real is also lucrative and the carbon tax is not the only solution to the problem.

  • Where did you pull those 97% when there havent even been independent surveys done on what the "consensus" is. the Major sources of CO2 are Natural, Water Vapour is more of a Greenhouse gas than CO2. Scientists making little money of Climate research supporting big finance is also a lie. It doesnt make sense to Tax humans on emmiting carbon dioxide. Its all been revealed as a big scam by Climategate.

  • news (dot) mongabay (dot) com / 2009 / 0122 - climate (dot) html

    Yes, water vapor has more power than CO2 as a GHG. More water vapor is going into the atmosphere as a result of warming:

    (dot) skepticalscience (dot) com / water - vapor - greenhouse - gas (dot) htm

  • The reason most scientists support AGW is because there is no other source known that could possibly be causing the buildup of CO2 and other GHGs.

  • Furtheremore the AGW doesnt even make sense. The globe has actually been cooling for the last decade not Warming.

  • No it hasn't. You're mistaking La Nina for global temperatures:

    (dot) skepticalscience (dot) com / global - cooling (dot) htm

    Please, if the earth were cooling what would be causing the cooling? This is exactly why the anti-AGW view is not mainstream science. The scientific data almost completely contradicts it and many of the people who are "critics" of AGW don't even grasp some of the basics of climate science.

  • Exactly my point, you have self contradicted yourself right here. There is nothing ANTHRPOGENIC about Global Warming or Global Cooling it is the Earth's and Sun's Natural Cycles that determines the Earth's tempreture. Not some cows farting in the farm or some very small emmissions of CarbonDioxide to the 0.38% total CO2 level in the Earths atmosphere.

  • You've misunderstood. I said the La Nina cycle is responsible for the low oceanic temperatures. Atmospheric temperatures have not dropped:

    (dot) skepticalscience (dot) com / 1934 - hottest -year-on - record (dot) htm

    "Sun's Natural Cycles"

    At not point in earth's post-Cambrian history has CO2 ppm levels jumped 120 ppm in 140 years like it has in the past 200 years. Natural climate change does not happen nearly this fast. The sun stopped being a relevant source of global warming in the 50s.

  • The oceans contain 37,400 billion tons (GT) of suspended carbon, land biomass has 2000-3000 GT. The atmosphere contains 720 billion tons of CO2 and humans contribute only 6 GT. The oceans, land and atmosphere exchange CO2 continuously so the additional load by humans is incredibly small. A small shift in the balance between oceans and air would cause a much more severe rise than anything we could produce."

  • Of course the ocean has more. Water absorbs CO2 faster than air.

    "so the additional load by humans is incredibly small"

    The majority of the CO2 you're talking about was put out by humans.

    (dot) skepticalscience (dot) com / human - co2 - smaller - than - natural - emissions (dot) htm

  • Millions of years ago the level of Carbon Dioxide was 20 times as high as it is today thats why the flora and vegetation was much diverse, places that are deserts today were lush green rainforests, as the plants sucked all the CO2 from the atmosphere due to their abundance it lead to their own extinction.

  • We already know the reason for why CO2 levels were higher 20 million years ago:

    (dot) skepticalscience (dot) com / CO2 - has - been - higher - in - the - past (dot) html

    Volcanism was several times higher than it is today and the earth's orbit around the sun was different. Not so today. Even then the CO2 levels did not rise 120 ppm in less than 200 years. The CO2 levels have been steady at around 300 ppm (usually lower) for the past 20 million years.

  • Talking about CO2 levels and their effects on plant means little for humans. CO2 is good for plants (even though in too high levels CO2 can cause acidosis for plants) but bad for humans and animals and bad for the polar caps. CO2 is a GHG that acts like a blanket for the earth's atmosphere and makes the planet warmer than it needs to be to sustain current non-plant lifeforms and of course raises ocean levels by polar melting.

  • Humans and animals rely on plants for their existance you moron. The CO2 level on Earth has never reached the concentrations your talking about due to the existance of natural sinks and the carbon cycle. Even if the doomsday your talking about does come about becuase of the 0.38% trace amount of CO2 the plants will just counter that by taking up more CO2 and they'll growing faster and bigge using up more CO2 which will bring the CO2 levels back to an equilibrium.

  • In case you didn't know humans have chopped down 50% of the world's forests since 1800. Thus decreasing the earth's ability to compensate for rapidly rising CO2 levels.

    "the CO2 level on Earth has never reached the concentrations your talking about"

    You just said CO2 levels were higher in the past. Before calling me a moron you might want to keep track of your posts. Lol.

  • Humans and animals do indeed rely on plants but humans and animals won't be around to eat the plants if they're killed off by flooding and extreme weather due to rapid heating. A 2 degree Celsius rise in the global temperature average is enough to melt the polar caps and put most coastal areas underwater.

  • Ok then your original statement "Talking about CO2 levels and their effects on plant means little for humans." has been clearly refuted. The polar Caps have always existed for millions of years even when the Earths CO2 levels were 20 times higher than present. There has never been this major flood due to melting Ice of the poles in millions of years. These are scare tactics used by Al Gore so you can rally behind the Hoax and give his Carbon business a bigger profit.

  • "has been clearly refuted"

    Lol, by what? I simply said humans won't be around to eat the plants if they're drowned. This isn't an argument about global warming affecting plants, it's about how it affects polar caps.

    And when CO2 levels were higher 20 million years ago oceanic levels were much higher and the caps were smaller.

  • Even if the sea level rises its measured in cms and years so no humans would drown as a result of sea level rise because it would happen very slowly. Its not like a flash flood that Al Gore has made you to beleive.

  • "it would happen very slowly"

    It's happening now:

    The American southern coastline and the Caribbean have also had quite a bit of flooding this past decade.

    And it's not happening nearly as slowly as you would want it to either. I didn't say shit about Al Gore. I don't even listen to him.

  • Is she smarter than 5th grader?

  • Hot air from Al Gore is the primary cause of global warming. Why would Sarah feed such a belching smokestack? She wants to see a reduction in greenhouse gas, not an increase.

  • Shinkiang, where did you get the idea that Sarah Palin wants to see a "reduction in greenhouse gas"? Do you realize who you're talking about? That woman would never EVER support any measure that might reduce greenhouse gases.

  • Oh my god, I would give ANYTHING to see Al Gore debate Palin.

  • @ig249 It would be like Muhammed Ali in his prime fighting Don Knotts.

  • Al Gore cannot be proven wrong. He is above everyone, especially when he got the nobel corruption prize. Everyone who dissagrees with Al gore, which are 31000 scientists, are wrong, and Al Gore is the holder of infinite knowledge. Period.

  • Al Gore is not being sued by anyone. What you're referring to is a petition which was signed in 1998 (11 FUCKING YEARS AGO) that he should be sued. To this date nothing has ever come of it.

    The vast majority of the people who signed the petition were people like college grad kids with Bachelor's Degrees (lol), business consultants, economists, amateurs, self-proclaimed "experts" from right-wing thinktanks and scientists in unrelated fields (there were less than 1,000 of the last type). LMAO.

  • Sarah Palin wants to deny, deny, deny. +The idea that she might have justify (and can't) her lunatic ravings?  She'd get nail - You Betcha

  • definition of climate : the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years. so bigchris sports you are not incorrect

  • pt 1/2

    no he is incorrect, you even gave a definition and still don't realize the difference, climate is the generalization and composition of many weather events, weather is a specific occurence in a geographic region, example, one can ask what is the weather like outside? to which someone may reply it is 10 degrees celsius and raining. an innaproppriate answer would be would be "we experience sub-zero temperatures and 10-30 cm of snowfall during the decmber here in ontario"

  • Global warming is a big scam it's about money and u idiot ass liberals are behind it. I live in Lake Charles, LA and in my life it snowed once but the last 2 yrs it has snowed each yr global warming? Crazy how that shit works huh and anyway when has Al gore debated anyone on this topic never. He scared he bust out charts and has no idea wut it means so buy you a hybrid I'll drive a gas hog and keep spending all your money lookin like an idiot.

  • Weather is not the same thing as climate.

  • Dont even bother lol

  • People who don't believe in global warming and climate change don't understand complex phenomena. They are terrified of both science and of having to consider that the worl might not be the way they want it, or that there might be bigger concerns than making money and believing we are still living in the '50's.

  • people who can't argue the science of always fall back on the mainstays of bringing up other peoples belief systems like they know what they are and lump them all together.

  • pt 2/2

    also two snow falls in two years in LA doesn't disprove human influenced climate change, or even offer a rebuttal, if we were to adopt this method of logic if we found two instances of rainfall when it should be snow, I certainly advocate that this was evidence for global warming

  • It is better to keep your mouth closed and have people think you a fool then to open it and remove all doubt.

  • continued............ But again, an increase in CO2 only shortens the distance radiation travels, which does nothing significant to increase the temperature. And there is no explanation of how the supposed temperature increase at the top of the troposphere, which is very cold, can produce heat at ground level. And since this is also known, some climatologists revert back to the near-earth analysis. They can't figure out where it is happening, but it has to be happening, god said so.

  • There is no scientifically valid mechanism for carbon dioxide creating global warming, because CO2 absorbs the limited radiation available to it in about ten meters. An increase in CO2 only shortens the distance, which is not an increase in temperature. Since scientists know this, a fake mechanism is contrived for the top of the troposphere based on thin spectrum shoulders.

  • ya your right it was all made up then the top scientists all peer reviewed these contrived models and approved its a big scam and conspiracy those damn scientists trying to get research grants are hurting the poor oil/ dirty energy companies.

    God I feel so for anyone who believes anything on this level of stupidity.

  • two words bimbo moron you would have to be a hell of a chick to be called that.She is like Pee wee hermin and the circus sideshow all together.

  • Palin would stop the debate once Al Gore mentioned something she didn't understand something, such as atoms and molecules.

  • @mexicanpants I don't doubt the sincerity of your have faith in the Gore and Strong religion. After all, these people are wealthy and intelligent enough to hire the best communication and image-making gun-slingers in the West. At least they are no fools in that way. What I have particular objections to is the way in which they have been successful in trashing the scientific method and dragging huge parts of 'educated' classes to the medieval art of ex cathedra fear. There be no science here.
