Sen. John McCain refutes a global warming denier

[Primordialfan1]

Hahahahahaha even some Republicans are not buying the conspiracy nutters!

[MrLittletomdj]

Technology manufactured by greedy energy companies that won't profit from renewable & sustainable (free) energy sources. I don't believe in Global Warming.. but that's by the by. The point is that the government is not in the business of curing problems, they're in the business of profiting from fraudulent fixes like carbon tax.. which is basically just a way of bumping up the price of petrol without the public getting pissy about it.

[Fulmarmusic]

Oh my.. im going to sex wee all over co2.. it's my 3rd favourite molecule... i want more of.. it makes u sexy.. cos u get hard in the penile area, just like a tree...

and trees LOVE co2 :)

only people who don't are occultists and their unbeknown mass followings (you).. Barack Obama means "lightening from heaven" when translated from babylonian words.... "lightening from heaven is also how they describe satan in the bible... im not christian either

[AnthonyPellino]

This man should have been president. If he didn't pick Sarah Palin he would have been golden. He is a great independent.

[Fulmarmusic]

@AnthonyPellino oh yes he should hav been, his agenda for mass illumination and spiritual growth in the area of mechanical arms is a well known and respected fact... imagine babies all taught how to kill another man, w/o thinking about much besides mel gibson or the simpsons... the idea is amazing, imagine how many countries the new american/world empire could crush then @_@

u silly. no thoughts for you self.. :) unless.. unless u r mccain... tuttles mr mccain... tuttles

[AnthonyPellino]

@Fulmarmusic

Maybe if you spoke with correct English and spelling maybe you could get your point across. But no. You sir, failed.

[Fulmarmusic]

@AnthonyPellino Ill fill in the gaps for you, since you lack imagination...... "YOUR BEING FUCKED IN THE ASS"

ty for calling me sir, although I revuke that term since it's full of elitist shite that most people such as your kind self find important

UR NEVER GOING TO BE ELITE

i bid thee a hahahahaha!

HAH

[danco35]

Global Warming is a hoax, McCain is a lying snake in the grass. There is no consensus within the scientists. Over 1000 ice cores have been studied from the same area that Al Gore has claimed that the CO2 levels preceded the rise in the earths tempurature, and they have proven that Al Gore's science is back wards...the tempurature of the earth went up BEFORE the increase in CO2, which dispels the theory.

[IlersichProductions]

@danco35 There's also methane and other gases. Weren't we farming cows back then?

[USAneedsaChange]

@danco35 Just that the temperature comming before actually shows how strong CO2 is in amplifying small forcings. They have studied just what you wrote. Al Gore maybe missed it, but it still shows how important CO2 is. We would not be here without its warming effect and McCain is not lying.

[danco35]

@USAneedsaChange "Just that the temperature comming before actually shows how strong CO2 is in amplifying small forcings."

Are u just making shit up now? Just saying anything to go along with the BS? The science is not settled. The charts used by the "climatologists" (Gore's "hockey Stick") is also proven to be adjusted and false. Pull your head out of your ass and do some research for yourself. Don't be a sheeple.

[USAneedsaChange]

@danco35 No, I am not. They have studied that graph from Vostok you think about. and concluded that relatively small forcings have huge impacts on Earth because of CO2 and other factors which amplify the forcings. Al Gore probably misunderstood it, but the scientists didn't.

The science is settled. No, the "hockey stick" is well done. It has been examined after claims that it was false and was concluded to be correct. I am not a sheeple, I don't believe radio hosts and others.

[Cyberjunkie09]

well done mr mccain. for very few things i salute you, but for this i shall do it just this once. :)

[NocturalRyte]

Left wing kooks will be treating people who deny the fraud of Global Warming like Holocaust Deniers.

[cmfluteguy]

Oh, and what will you idiotic right wing kooks be doing?

Killing something, playing with your bible, or hating more people that you have never met?

[NocturalRyte]

I don't kill, I don't believe in god and I don't hate. But I am not at all surprised you'd miss the mark since liberal kooks are mentally deranged. Back to your padded cell, loon.

[nsewx]

if he wanted a religious nut as his vice p what makes him an expert on anything other then "believing in something".

Does he know for a fact? no one does, so he must be the smartest man in the world..or just another pocket for "green" cash..that's the only green they care about. The earth randomly fluctuates in temperature decade by decade, quit blaming it on cow farts.

[IlersichProductions]

@nsewx CO2 does not come from cow farts.

[GloucesterAdam]

@IlersichProductions no it comes out of the mouths of politicians.

[IlersichProductions]

@GloucesterAdam it comes from your car and the plant that gives you electricity

[Fulmarmusic]

@IlersichProductions altho a tax on all co2 = an actuial tax on cow farts... and also perhaps a rise in beans and other pulses

not to mention breastmilk, this means yawl momma gonna be taxed too

these politicians are trained liars

only morons believe them

unfortunatly morons are 10 a penny

wake up plz :)

Mccain also thinks u are.. its why he contineusly lies to you

[bassman5588]

I'm not a fan of McCain, but I applaud him for this. At least he believes in science, and knows global warming is real as opposed to his GOP pals, particularly Ron Paul. Glad he gave that denier what he deserved.

[UWrosesdawg]

Go McCain!

[RoyalZebraGirl]

I'm sick of these GLOBAL WARMING TUTUNANA ARGUMENTS!

[ctvwr]

Except that it will affect agriculture and water supplies, change the area of inhabitable land, and cause resource wars over said resources. We are already seeing displacement in some low lying Pacific islands, and much of the conflict in Darfur can be traced to water depletion in Lake Chad due to climate change. It WILL affect us. All of us.

[mike8jones8]

You get some land. Then you create a glass house and put plants into it which in turn traps heat and c02 in which the plants need to thrive. the glass prevents heat from escaping. So if our planet is getting hotter do to getting closer to the galactic center of the universe then it is a stupid notion that cutting down tree's which eat c02 and output oxygen. and pump more and more co2 into the atmosphere the heat will be trapped just like in a green house. It is trapped because hotter temps&co2

[mike8jones8]

If the sun is producing more heat then it is a great idea to produce more green house gasses in order to keep the suns heat in. What a great comment you ignorant fool. Go get a life

[glddraco]

I disagree with McCain on this it's not about addressing it that is beneficial to man kind and America but rather world wide.

[onemoreterm]

Australia is about to embark on the costliest Emmisions Trading Scheme - more expensive than the failed European model, that will bring our economy to it's knees. At last election Australia voted for "Change" resulting in a Rudd Labor Government. PM Rudd signed Kyoto and is selling the ETS as a "Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme". Looks like whichever way America votes, you'll be giving the baby it's bottle. McCain's carbon tax would probably be lower until the big polluters sign up eg. China

[zardozcs]

The off-camera speaker was barely audible but it sounded like he was saying that the climate change is driven by the sun. That is he is saying climate change is real -- caused by the sun. If sun is cause then other planets should be warming as well. Google "planets are warming"

"The corporate stranglehold on the press in the U.S. is one of the key reasons that we read (or see, or hear) so little serious discussion of Climaticide.... Major newspapers are often subsidiaries of large conglomerates, and even when they're not, they depend on them for advertising, hence their unwillingness to tell the truth about global warming.... Throw in the fossil fuel disinformation campaigns, and you can easily see why Americans have such a poor understanding...."

[SteveWrathall]

"Climate Change is real" is a meningless slogan. See my vid- mother earth, global warming denier

[ItsKirt]

Ive spent the last 8 years hearing that our president is an idiot. Here we go again.

[packrat76]

Aren't most of the people we put into office idiots?

[bill127234]

Pay more in taxes and government will pretend to control the weather. Biggest tax scam ever.

Global warming began at the end of the Maunder Minimum in the 1700s and continued at a near uniform rate of 0.5-0.7 C per century until 1998, now it has paused, trending down. There has been no statistically significant increase in mean global surface temperature since 1998. In the past 7 years global temperatures have been falling at an impressive rate equivalent to 0.4 degrees C per decade.

[ecotubeview]

are you a scientist? if not then dont comment on facts you dont understand..

[mtlhabs11]

You have to be a fucking retard to vote for this guy, honestly.

[Zazierx]

I hope those right wing AM radio idiots hear this, Im a democrat but mccain is a smart man and if it wasnt for my disagreement with his policies on war and abortion i would definately vote for him.

[dyamarick]

I would vote for him if it weren't for his policies on climate change. Plenty of data and scientists who can show man-made climate change is not the problem. Ice-caps melting on Mars. You're the idiot. This is a politician.

[glddraco]

You must really hate George Bush as well because he's now saying that global warming is real. Interesting seems like the deniers are losing credibility more and more.

[dyamarick]

Yes, you are correct. I hate the presidents global warming spin. This is a terrible hoax.

[bassman5588]

the deniers have no facts behind them. they think they got God's grace in their soul, and talk like their bigger than everybody, topping their bigheadedness with ignorant rants and hateful threats against those that don't agree with them. Yet in spite of how wrong they are, they have more power and always get their way. it makes me wish i was born in a different time period, when people were smart and there was no bliss in stupidity.

[blindbrick]

You are wrong, the deniers have all the empirical facts behind them. the only thing the global warming activists have is a self made computer model. and they dont want to give other scientists the code of that model so that it can be evaluated.

[bassman5588]

your empirical facts are hysterical claims from thirty years ago, a bogus petition from a neo-con think tank, junk science and science taken out of context, and unproven claims like the so called crack in the arctic sea floor. And those computer models have been proven accurate over and over again. They showed what would happen if a hurricane hit New Orleans, and it turned out worse than predicted. we don't give this stuff to you deniers for good reason. you won't behave yourselves.

[kurtilein3]

i agree with mccain here, but i still think that he is an asshole and will majorly fuck up the united states, his oppinion is backwards/medieval/immoral on many different topics. he has the capacity of being worse and doing more damage than george w. bush.

[FrustratedRanter]

Anyone who believes that science is a consensus is a FOOL...science is hard raw factual data that can only lead to two conclusions...1-The Hypothesis is right, and 2-The data is inconclusive and needs further study/evaluation. If science was a consensus then the Earth would still be thought of as flat, the sun would rotate about the Earth, etc, etc, etc. Science is NOT A CONSENSUS NOR A RELIGION...ASS HOLE!!!!! And people want him as President?!?!?!?!?!

[kurtilein3]

frustratedranter: your comment goes into the right direction, i think i know what you want to say and i agree, but you are wrong.

science consists of scientific publications that need to pass the process of peer review. then scientists will try to falsify those publications, if the publications survive, they are part of science.

and then it is in fact the consensus of the scientific community (only real scientists, experts) that decides if a specific publications is accepted science or not.

[kurtilein3]

... continued

this scientific consensus needs to be based on the philosophy of science (the scientific method), and is STRICTLY limited to scientists working in this field. scientists decide if they agree or disagree based on facts and evidence and reason and logic, their default position is always skeptical. the scientific consensus is investigated and reported by scientific studies that get published as scientific publications.

this is a special kind of consensus. double-checked, filtered.

[FrustratedRanter]

The thing is that I don't deny that the climate is changing, hell the climate on all the planets are changing...even Pluto is "heating up" The thing is that WE are not having that much of an effect as they say we are, if even at all. I do believe that finding new energy sources is essential, but they never talk about some of the technologies to fix this. I personally have tested a device that puts out more energy than I had to put in appx 12 times the amount. Science says that can't happen!

[kurtilein3]

this is your misconception, you are simply wrong / mistaken.

the evidence that we caused global warming is just as good as the evidence that supports the theory of evolution, or the theory of general relativity. this is solid science.

please take the time to read two wikipedia-articles: ``scientific consensus´´ will give you the background, and the article ``scientific oppinion on climate change´´ will open your eyes.

educate yourself.

[carterfu]

listen i'm a republican who dislikes every candidate besides mccain, he is the only one who can get american respected again from his views like he wants to stop torrture to global wariming

[BPRoyChannel]

If the next president has to be a republican, it should definitely be John McCain.

[kunkle187]

emmissions are bad for our bodies and should be changed for certain reasons, however the debate is not over as to the ligitimacy of the global warming issue. science supports the theroy, or rather fact that fluctuations in the sun itself and the axis of the earth, which is not constant,are the cause of the warming trend. the temperature of the earth flucuates. just because politicians and corporate fascist scientists say different doesn't make it so.

[kurtilein3]

kunkle187: you are either ignorant about the topic and bought into a lie, or you are deliberately misleading people.

your statement is simply wrong, the opposite is the case. your comment also displays a lot of ignorance about what a scientific consensus is, please research the topic. wikipedia is a great source of information on scientific consensus and global warming/climate change consensus.

educate yourself, and please do not spread ignorance again, you are misleading people.

[kenjr79]

McCain really is amazing. I think he's the most honest guy in Washington, and I know I'll get blasted for that. His words here kinda go against the people who say he'll be another oil tycoon president. I think Senator McCain really wants to try and solve problems and not just go round and round like is usually done.

[Bossanovawitcha]

McCain is a true patriot. Its sad he's being so slandered by his own party, and will likely have his hopes in 2008 crushed just like they were in 2000 by corporate masterminds and the religious right.

[joebonk]

some climate creationist got pwnt. i didnt know mccain was so smart on this issue. the debate really is over. now we just have to figure out how to mitigate the effects
