  • *facepalm* Global warming is REAL - you can argue the cause all day, who cares - but the evidence that the planet is warming up is virtually slamdunk. Want proof? Go take a trip to Glacier National Park in Montana and just LOOK at what little is left of the actual glaciers.

  • Awaken!

  • That's why you don't develop in flood plains....

  • They pronounce Rainier wrong. They say Ruh-neer when it's supposed to be Ray-nee-ur. XD

  • what a load of BS. (global warming)

  • the glaciers have been receding for hundreds of years....just look at the geology.

    The mountain is going to fall apart because the rock it is made of is weak.

  • When a volcano decides to blow, I doubt that the weight of the snow will convince it to wait. Ill try burying my wife in snow and see if that slows her down.

  • @162Deathnote You don't understand science. A cold year is proof of Global Warming. A hot year is proof of Global Warming. Glaciers receding is proof of Global Warming. Glaciers expanding is proof of Global Warming. Rain is proof of Global Warming. A sunny day is proof of Global Warming. A tree ring past 1900 that shows no Global Warming is proof of Global Warming. My dog just barked which proves Global Warming.

  • Man, don't act like tards. Gilgamesh IS agressive and "loud", but he's also right. The Earth passes through periods of glacial ages and interglacial ages. There last for thousands of years, and currently we are in interglacial ages. We are heading towards the peak of interglacial. The temperature will continue rising then it will start falling again.

    Did we cause this? No. Did we make it faster? Yeah. So some little chages like eko bulbs and shit won't stop us from getting warmer and warmer.

  • we are all fucked my friends.

  • given that, isn't it just a good idea to hedge are bets and promote a culture of living sustainably. promoting green technology will find ways of powering our lives, reduce our dependency on oil (arguably a good thing after the BP disaster), and reduce waste and inefficiency in machines. and all of that will require capital investment which will generate jobs which is great for the economy. and in no way is oil going to disappear overnight so oil economy jobs won't go bye as well. it's win-win.

  • to all global warming deniers, all the data indicates that global temperatures have been trending upward. the world IS GETTING WARMER, no matter which way you twist the numbers. is this because of human activity? any decent scientist will admit that global warming is correlated with human activity. human activity is not definitively causative. however, when you consider all the variables (i.e. volcanic activity, solar activity), human activity is the most likely candidate for global warming.

  • Global warming? I lost faith in Discovery news.

  • @GoSuNiguy another idiot who thinks that global warming is a lie? i just lost more of my faith in the intellect of man kind.

  • @Gilgamesh417

    You make me laugh, go away.

  • @GoSuNiguy sorry reasoned, rational arguments make me laugh. maybe it's you who should go away, you uneducated troll.

  • @Gilgamesh417

    If I'm a troll, you just fell for it. Good day.

  • @GoSuNiguy yup, shame on me for pointing out your idiocy and trying to bring some knowledge and rationality to people

  • @Gilgamesh417

    Too bad I'm a troll as you say I am. You just fell for it again.

  • faith kills, knowledge saves. global warming is faith, think about it. because questioning faith is the only thing that stops idiocy, in my humble opinion. draw your own conclusions; it'll make you smarter...

  • @norske666 have you read all the science papers, looked at all the models and studied the statistical data? have you spent your entire life studying the earth, earned a college degree in a science field and spent several years doing phd and post-doc research? at the very least, you should have read some meta-review papers. if you haven't, then you should shut the hell up and believe the good natured scientists who have spent their lives studying this phenomenon.

  • Round rim glasses, beard, probably drives a swedish car...UGH what a lib

  • @TheSepticYank sounds to me like you are more just distrustful of science and knowledge and stereotyping. ugh, what a moron.

  • Global Warming huh?

    Thats odd that he would say global warming is causing the glaciers to recede, since Mt Rainier has not seen an average monthly record high in any month since 1988. Many of the months average record highs are before 1960, how could that be? I mean there surely is more CO 2 in the stratosphere now than there was 50 or 60 years ago, right?

  • @jjrglobal Our atmopshere is a layer of gas surround the earth. Global Warming is the increase in atmosheric and oceanic temperatures. The term "warming" confuses people but globial warming/climate change/we're killing plant, marine, and other living creatures by way of not looking for alternative fuel sources do people not get?!

  • @jjrglobal you keep on mentioning monthly record high. how about, on average, is there a shifting of the daily temps to the right? monthly high is looking at one slice of time which is, quite frankly, a disingenuous way of looking at the data. for example, in 1988 there could have just month with all temps of 100 and the rest temps is 60 but in 2009 there could be all months of 90. i would still argue that the data indicates a warmer climate w/o a record monthly high. you fucking moron.

  • @Gilgamesh417

    The figures I looked at, which were the only ones I could find with year to year comparison from 1910 to present, were based on average monthly temperatures, on a per month basis you fuckin moron, not on an annual basis

  • @jjrglobal where's your sources? in addition, have you EVER taken a statistics class EVER in your entire fucking pathetic life you worthless sack of turd? if you have, then you WOULD know that averages are the LEAST robust statistic measure ever and are, generally, insufficient to make any sort of argument. averages cannot give an accurate picture of how temperature is trending if the year range is too high. douche.

  • This is all a crock of shit people... oh and Demonchil2009, the whole 2012 thing is just down right idiotic. The whole fear that the earth will end because the earth, sun and center of the galaxy align is just retarded. Guess what, THAT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR!

  • 2012 people

  • FACT: Glaciers have been receding and growing cyclically for hundreds of years. Recent glacier melting is a consequence of coming out of the very cool period of the Little Ice Age. Ice shelves have been breaking off for centuries. Scientists know of at least 33 periods of glaciers growing and then retreating. Its normal. Besides, glacier's health is dependent as much on precipitation as on temperature.

  • @Balzy73 Im very thankfully that you dispelled some of the global warming hype instead of me

  • Source: Friends of Science Website

  • @Balzy73 "Friends of Science"????

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

    You might as well have said you pulled it out of your ass! I'm amazed how many global warming deniars will go into a tizzy about a government consipiracy, and then take their talking points from a lobby group for oil and coal!

    You guys clown yourselves!

  • @Balzy73 By the way, my group Friends to Uncover Global Conspiracy onClimate Change, admits that GW is real, and that all GW deniars are just dupes of Big Coal. ;)

    You know it's true, cause I have a fancy organization. ;)

  • FACT: The earth is variable. The western Arctic may be getting somewhat warmer, due to unrelated cyclic events in the Pacific Ocean, but the Eastern Arctic and Greenland are getting colder. The small Palmer Peninsula of Antarctica is getting warmer, while the main Antarctic continent is actually cooling. Ice thicknesses are increasing both on Greenland and in Antarctica.

    Sea level monitoring in the Pacific (Tuvalu) and Indian Oceans (Maldives) has shown no sign of any sea level rise.

  • @Balzy73 , Wonder if this is any indication of a possible pole shift or changes within the earth's core?

  • this guy said the same thing like four times

  • I thought ST.Helena was the most badass MT

  • lets not forget that the new sedements are very rich in nutrients for plant life, fish, and other wild life in the surrounding areas and ultimately is good for the country as a whole because animals feed off the animals and move out to get eaten by other animals and so forth. this is a good thing. if ppl cant handle it then ppl need to move where it isn't a problem.

  • more lies from the zionist controled media.

  • was creepy is if rainer does erupt is im freaking screwed cause if i stand on my roof i can see it quite well FML

  • Ahhhh, the good ol days of the 80's before Global Warming. There were no storms, no hurricanes, no floods, no droughts, no tornadoes and the seasonal temperatures were EXACTLY the same from season to season. At least that's how climatologists remember it.

  • @Ian7570 i actually think that that's NOT how climatologists remember it and i think that's how you THINK they remember it. they are more than well aware that those things happen naturally, from year to year. however, statistical data indicates that temperatures have been trending higher. they happily admit in their data that their are peaks and lows but, OVERALL, the data indicates higher temperatures.

  • @Gilgamesh417 Actually most of the raw temperature datasets I've seen show a slight cooling trend. I guess if you trust the scientists to adjust the data with no known methodology then there is definite anthropogenic global warming.

  • @Ian7570 what papers? what data? how long do those data sets reach back? you say all of that but you don't consider that your very data is wrong. also, i trust experts who have devoted their lives to this type of research. not some dumbass who looks at raw data and doesn't realize that without statistical analysis to interpret the data, raw data is next to useless.

  • @Gilgamesh417 What data? Seriously? I guess I mean ALL the temperature data has been adjusted upwards, NASA, GHCN and the CRU. I guess you can make a case saying that we don't know for sure if the CRU data has been adjusted upward since they destroyed the raw data. But I'm sure they use a standard methodology to adjust the data so other scientists can confirm, uhhhh, oh wait, they don't.

    You haven't really studied this that much have you?

  • @Ian7570 have you taken statistics? you can't "adjust" raw data upwards. you normalize it to a reference point which would give you an idea of how much a shift has occured. what proof do you have that they destroyed raw data? a scientist never destroys raw data. the only people who say climatologists destroyed raw data are crazies with conspiracy theories. there is a standard methodology of statistical analysis that's listed in any legit scientific paper. you don't read science papers, do you?

  • @Gilgamesh417 What proof do I have they destroyed raw data? Would their admission be good enough?

    If you want to believe people who have been shown to grossly manipulate data to prove anthropogenic warming then I guess that's your right.

  • @Ian7570 you fucking moron, if you actually read the entire statement, you'd see that the data they did dump was insignificant.

    The research unit has deleted less than 5 percent of its original station data from its database because the stations had several discontinuities or were affected by urbanization trends, Jones said.

    nice job researching your sources fucktard. and yes, i will choose to not let one isolated incident affect the other breadth of research for climate change.

  • @Gilgamesh417 Lol,..you argue like my 12 year old niece...2+2 is 5 see..1, 2, 3,...uh...you're a fucktard!

    They destroyed their raw data so you have NO way of knowing from what their ADJUSTED temperature was adjusted from. "Oh, but the data is still out there, we just can't tell you how we adjusted the numbers or what numbers we actually adjusted. But hey, big deal. I mean, it's just numbers right. Trust us. We wouldn't lie...except for the times we lied. But we're telling the truth now."

  • @Ian7570 all i see is a douchebag harping on one half-truth. 1. if you look at their WHOLE statement, they've been recording data since the 1980s and some of the data points are contaminated by urbanization, pollution, etc. of course you throw that away. i work in a lab and i wouldn't include cell culture data that's been contaminated by bacteria, you fucking moron. 2. technical limitations at the time reduced storage capacity. 3. <5% of total data was removed = insignificant.

  • @Ian7570 should they have removed the data? if they had the money or capacity, probably not. were they justified? undoubtably. in addition, you fail to address the fact that this is one incident and you are generalizing it to the entire field and to all climate scientists. you are the one arguing like a 12 year old moron. arguing from a point of ignorance and fear and paranoia. i can see its pointless to argue with a person who has the logical reasoning capacity of a sack of rocks.

  • @Gilgamesh417 Hey SFB (shit for brains), if you want to believe people who have lied to you and have tried to deceive you go ahead. I know you probably don't have the intellectual capacity to ask this question so I will ask it for you

    "Why were they trying to deceive me if anthropogenic global warming is an indisputable fact?"

    "Duh I better get to higher ground...ahhhhduhhhhhhh... the sea level is going to swamp my house! It's a fact, ahduuuhhhhhhh"

    ROFL!

  • @Gilgamesh417 "You are getting sleepy..tree ring data is reliable to +-0.5 degrees for 10,000 years until you get to to the 1900's when it becomes completely unreliable so you have to use adjusted temperature readings...the medieval warming period and little ice age never happened...C02 causes an increase in temperature even though historical records show it's the other way around...when I count to 3 you will wake up and know anthropogenic global warming is a fact."

    Duhduhduhmass!

  • @Ian7570 are you fucking retarded? no one is denying that the earth cycles through periods of heat and warmth. cycles that last thousands of years. the current warming trend is unnatural in that it is accelerated. it's entirely possible that this warming is part of a natural cycle. but a warming that happens so quickly that 40% of reptile species will be extinct in 20 to 50 years? that the earths oceans are acidifying too fast for fish species to adapt? yea, i don't think so you freaking nut.

  • LIES, LIES, LIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Balzy73 how is it lies when you can go there and see it?

  • @FixedByDoc because global warm is lies

  • @weightSndrumS so because you think global warming is a lie then the fact that the glacier on the mtn retreating is also a lie even though you can see it and it has been measured regularly to prove it is shrinking. hmm yep science is a lie in fantasy land.

  • @FixedByDoc its more random that that retard, its alot colder in other areas too, and i doubt that the "both extremes" theory is true either

  • @jl112894 my point is that the glacier is receding & you can see / measure it doing so. his point was that it is not receding because global warming is a lie. regardless if global warming is a lie or not the glacier is still receding. but you cant convince ppl when they only hear but not listen. but what do i know im just a specialist on natural disasters with 22 licenses & certifications in the field.

  • @FixedByDoc your hairline is receding. al gore is garbage. global warming is a communist ploy to tax more people to give their money to lazy perverts like the greeks. just admit it and at least be honest with yourself.

  • 0:14 credibility lost. a whistle blower showed an inconvenient truth used "cooked science" aka lies aka bs. this event is called climate-gates. now only silly lemmings believe that global warming is an impending threat.

  • I got global warming in my *&%# lol

  • more from Bear Grylls please!

  • wow over these years people still think there isnt a such thing as global warming...?

    WOW

  • @underxstars ikr

  • @underxstars the sun controls the earths weather. since mt. penitubo erupted in 1991, the earths temp has dropped 1.2 degrees. global warming is a 40 year long hoax designed to let the nwo tax the air.

  • 2rd

  • ahaha .D

  • wtf is up with all these pricks using MACS....

  • Come on guys he's cereal!

  • if it erupts it will be due to haarp. global warming is a hoax.

  • @solomonkane23 and you're a moron. any questions?

  • @HisForgottenSolitude hahahhaa
