John McCain disagrees with you.

@Kasz

The economic havoc levied against the US and UK are not meant to be solutions. They are an example of how some politico desire to use the mass hysteria to push a very political agenda

That's what i'm saying. That's a reason why people would "make up" global warming.

There is plenty of money to be made in anti-global warming legislature.  So both sides would have reasons to fabricate data.

living is overated =)

Oh god no, not more people ignoring science because it doesn't fit what they want.

Sure, the 9/11 is a govt. conspiracy, the moon landing is a fake, there is no evidence whatsoever for evolution and the world is actually cooling. I really do give up arguing on the internet with people who are either just baiting by saying things they don't really believe or who are otherwise merely arguing when they are entirely ignorant of the facts.

Its strange for a culture where you would expect there to be a high level of intelligence (the net) that you can find such absolute stupidity. =\

Edit: At all the people going 'ITS POLITICAL ITS POLITICAL', of course its political as politicians will seize anything they think will help them win but more importantly its economic and even more importantly still its scientific. Read some of the summarized reports from the IPCC or at least some scientific literature before you criticise it blindly simply because it has become a major political issue. 

Global Warming... no, scientist don't call it this anymore.
Climate Change due to Carbon Dioxide emissions... yes. More CO2 in the atmosphere changes the temperature and moisture retention. Pretty simple.

"How can global warming be real if this winter is seeing record cold?"

When a ice cube melts in a glass of water, the water get colder.

In the summer the Earth is closer to the sun and tilted so that the northern hemisphere is facing it, with more CO2 in the atmosphere evaporated water stays up there longer and forms bigger clouds/storms. (Also more water compared to salt in the ocean makes for a bunch of other factors)

Infrared light from the sun is trapped with more CO2, meaning slightly warmer temperatures, melting more polar ice than pre-industrialism.

This is where the glass of ice water comes in, as the ice melts the ocean gets cooler around the northern ice cap. When winter comes the earth goes further away from the sun but the cooler water around the northern ice cap remains and creates harsher winters.

So it just so happens that these changes came about the same time as industrialization? Sure.

Here's an experiment you can do if you don't "believe" in global warming. Park your running gasoline powered car(emissions simulator) in a garage (experimental ecosystem) with the door closed (green house) and see if the biodiversity in the garage is challenged to survive.

Science isn't like religion: even if you don't believe, it still exists.

I've heard people say that the scientists make these outrageous claims just to get more research funding.

 Same reason plumbers will lie to you about your plumbing, mechanics lie about your car, and doctors mislead you about your health. Don't trust professionals. They all have an angle.

But random people on the internet aren't getting paid to tell you about global warming, so you can trust them.

I think no matter what we do, the temperature is going to rise. We need to stop wasting trillions of dollars trying to stop it, and instead spend that money figuring out how we are going to live in a world that is getting warmer.

of course, you can't win votes with reason, so no one is going to make a movie about that.

1) Huh?  How do you know this?

2)Trillions of Dollars? Really?  When?  I am pretty sure trillions of dollars would have bought us all Air powered cars by now.  

3) Huh? 

4) In the US people will be more likely to vote for you if you deny Global Warming and say that Thomas Jefferson walked with the dinosaurs or the US brings democracy to the Middle East.     

Oh noes!!!1 The Global Warming bandwagon faggitz are l1ying noobzors who have teh p0litic@l @g3nd@s!!!!!1

Switching from oil would be a good thing anyways. You know why the U.S. economy is tanking right now? Oil. Energy costs are rising and preventing the economy from going anywhere, which is aggravated by our weak dollar which causes the price of oil to go even higher because we are the world's largest oil consumer.

Even if global warming is a hoax, changing to an inexpensive alternate fuel source will be a good thing. Oil will keep going higher and make other forms of energy cheap in comparison.
