Give Me a Break: Global Warming

The globe is warming, but is it really all our fault? And is it true the debate is over? No. What you think you know may not be so. Over the next 100 years, sea levels are expected to rise seven to 24 inches, not 20 feet says the IPCC. Polar bears appear to be doing all right. Right now data from the World Conservation Union and the U.S. Geological Survey show most populations of polar bears are stable or increasing. A real inconvenient truth is that historically carbon dioxide increases came after temperatures rose, usually hundreds of years later. Climate changes, always has, with or without man. Early last century, even without today's huge output of carbon dioxide, the Arctic went through a warming period. Greenland's temperatures rose 50 percent faster in the 1920s and reached higher average temperatures in the 1930s and 1940s than today's temperatures. Some scientists argue the warming might be caused by changes in the sun, or ocean currents, or changes in cloud cover, or other things we don't yet understand. The truth is, that while everyone agrees that the earth has warmed, lots of good scientists don't agree that it's mostly our fault, and don't agree that it's going to be a catastrophe. The debate is not over.

Who cares if it's our fault or not? We're so worried about who's fault it is. Is not dumping pollution in the air a bad thing? whether or not we're warming the climate I don't want to breath shit. And it doesn't take a scientist to show the globe is warming, it takes a thermometer. Whether we are responsible or not the THERMOMETERS say it's getting warmer.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not pollution and Global Warming has nothing to do with pollution. People are confusing Smog, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and the pollutants in car exhaust with the life supporting, essential trace gas in our atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Pollution is already regulated under the Clean Air Act and regulating Carbon Dioxide (CO2) will do absolutely nothing to make the air you breath "cleaner". It has only "warmed" 0.7°C in the last 100 Years.

2500 scientists for global warming vs 30000 scientists against global warming who want to sue al gore. You wan't to talk about consensus?

Australian scientists have found that the section of antarctica they own has grown 24%. Alaska has record snowfall and greenland ice melting has almost completely stopped.Oh wait it's global warming

The debate concerning "Man-made Global Warming" is not over. The majority of US citizens do not believe this. The science is flawed, and there are over 30,000 Scientist (9000+ Ph.D) who argue against this "science". They want to debate the issue, but the secular left leaders promoting this agenda will not participate. The question is do they have the conviction to take their "conclusions" to the battlefield? Because, this is were we will end up if we stop talking.

You're going to tell me a 4 billion year old planet, is being destroyed completely in just the last 200 years by humans? The earth has gone through phases similar to this before. It is ridiculous to think that humans are the sole cause of this current phase.

Global Warming a.k.a The Global Scam!
