It would actually make biblical sense if you ask me. But that's a whole other topic.

guess what 30 years ago it was a "consensous" that we were headed for an ice age. where did that go.

and there has been scandal after scandal of scientist conspiring, lying, and massaging numbers, and falsely reporting numbers, that i really cant take anything they say seriously.

also, in order for us to fix and reverse course from the global warming they preach about, we would have to completely shut down our economy, revert back to pre-industrial revolution, kill 100's of millions of people, if not billions. we would have to go into a stone age to reverse course. so theres no point, we are all doomed, may as well make the best of it.

 

anyway, in 5, 10, 20, 50 years from now when the earth is still perfectly normal, and global warming still hasnt attacked us, we will all be laughing (at least i will) at this rediculous hysteria. but according to al gore we only have 3 years 276 days before the earth turns into a frying pan. we will see whos right.

Let me guess. You watch fox news....or wait, wait.. you read drudge report.

Oh yes, how could I have been so blind to the one or two sources that are telling the complete truth, right under my very nose!??

And no, we wouldn't have to kill billions of people. There is already work in action to change what's going on. This involves solar power, wind energy, tidal energy (guess who's also against these alternative energies), and lots of other changes. Each change is a slice of the pie, a pie that solves the problem. However, people who are against global warming conspiracies are also against every one of these solutions.

^Can you stop assuming things? If he thinks scientists are politically biased, why don't you ask him why, just ask him to explain his PoV. Avoid putting people in political boxes it really doesn't help in understanding either way...

Anybody who points to the cyclic changes in climate that occur naturally as a grounds for dismissing the notion of human driven climate change is grossly misinformed on the subject. The change that has occurred in the planet's climate over the past century is far too great to be accounted for by the natural cycle that the geological records indicate. The level of ignorance displayed by some people is truly saddening, we are dismantling an entire planet for a pile of trinkets and garbage. Once the sulphur being placed in the atmosphere by China's use of coal starts to be settle then we will see a much greater rise in global temperatures, only then may the masses take action. At this point it is far too late to combat climate change though. Oh well, at least humanity will get what it deserves.


please go ahead, live in a hut, and use your on feces to grow you food (though the gasses you give off by doing so will polute the earth)

 

i will continue to live the 1st world live style that i have grown accustomed to and deserve. i will drive my truck because i like it, i will by as big of a house as necessary. i will be my cheap and rather tastey in organic food, i will continue to use plastic bags because it is convienient.

i will live a happy life with with the luxuries that an American citizen should have. i will die living on a planet that will be in virtually the same condition as when i was born. and the alarmist will come and go, and will get ridiculed over and over as they are proved wrong time and time again.

hows that ice age going for you? err its now global warming... er climate change... err

I don't know what's worse, the childish, self-centered entitlement complex or the arrogant and dismissive tone. You are a disgustingly ignorant and abrasive individual.

The scientific evidence says yes, global warming is anthropogenic.

The campaign against it is essentially funded by people who have a financial interest in nothing being done to stop pollution.

i watch and read all news sources, that includes fox from time to time, i try to get my news from every where and see how networks and sites are reporting suff.

my turn.. let me guess you get your news from msnbc... or wait, wait... John Stewart.

as for the bolded... the democrats. yes the dems, its usually always them that, are stiking down proposals to have green energy. cant have swinds farms miles off the coast... might abscure peoples views. cant have solar fields in the middle of the desert. 

furthermore if you believe those are the solutions, you are sorely naive and mistaken, those arent at all practical or effiecient. they are an incredible waste of time and energy. Something that is clean that should be used, that greenies hate for some reason in Nuclear power. we should be investing in this, but again regulations keep us from doing so.
