So 99% of the scientific community says it is caused by CO2, and 1% disagree, and you would prefer to listen to them?
Whatever floats your boat.

Actually more than 1/2 do not believe it…..65% are of the belief that the occurances are NOT man made…only 35% are the ones that make the claim…BUT….as they get the most preess and the others are shouted down as not being politically correct…they are the ones laughing all the way to the bank as they and Al Gore make obscene profits off it….

Great post. From your post, this has always been a key point in proof that most scientists do not believe in Global Warming.
“Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical.” – Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson
That’s it right there. The scientists who still “agree” with it are most likely afraid to say what they think is truly the case. Scientists work for the government and also receive money from the government to operate. Since most politicians have bought into this new AGENDA, how can these scientists go against the system without ruining their funding? They can’t.
Global Warming or “Climate Change” (they had to even change the term because the earth has been cooling), is only an elitist liberal agenda.
Here’s my strongest argument against it. You see Al Gore, and many other people that fly around in jets, ride around in SUV’s and use tons of energy every year. When they are asked about it, they say that they “OFFSET” it all by buying carbon offsets. That should be a red flag with blaring alarms sounding once you here the word “BUY”.
So what do the common people do? What if you have to drive alot for your job every year? You’re expected to buy carbon offsets. So if you can’t afford to buy them, you are FORCED to change your lifestyle, which may mean you can’t take those two vacations which involve flying across the country.
Watch this video, even his supporters are hypocrites (the guy behind the camera points out where the metro station is located!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESxvY1tQH…
See, only the people that are not wealthy do not have to change their lifestyle. If Al Gore and the rest of his penguin army were really serious about Climate Change, they’d change their lifestyles….you know sacrifice….just like the rest of us are expected to do. Let him take the subway, or bike around town instead of riding in his SUV or Limo. Let him walk everywhere, no matter how far.
It is absurd. The contradiction of the whole thing is that they want YOU to change your lifestyle when they don’t have to do so. That is completely arrogant and elitist. It’s proof that these elite liberals want two classes of people. They want all the decision makers, then all the masses that do all the work, shoulder to shoulder in the rice paddies, walking everywhere and growing our own food in our driveways where our cars used to be. Herd us all into mass transit so they can keep better track of our movements. ABSURD.
Here’s another video where they show how hypocritical these people like Al Gore really are in day to day life. These bunch of saps.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8yf7ea4D…
Note: If you are one of these drones that thinks Fox News is just all a lie, look up the numbers they give you in this video. Then you can do your gorilla math to make it work for you.

While I don’t know whether or not global warming is a real phenomenon caused by human release of CO2 (I will go with whatever the majority of scientists support), It’s obvious that “carbon credits” and the “green movement” are little more than scams. There are no set standards for carbon credits so virtually anyone can sucker you out of money in the name of green guilt.
Penn & Teller liken the sale of carbon credits to indulgences by the Catholic Church – pay for your environmental “sins” and avoid feeling guilty for causing the death of the planet. Going “green” seems to be an expensive trend in the housing market that is costly and not necessarily helpful to the environment. Is it really more beneficial to use reconstituted granite than full slabs in a counter top? What about all of the extra machinery and power needed to grind pieces of rock together and meld them into a sheet as opposed to merely cutting them out of the ground ?
Also note that Al Gore uses far more electricity to power his homes than the average American and PAYS HIMSELF through his own carbon credit company to pay for the supposed environmental harm from his energy use….I sense a scam!
Penn & Teller on Carbon Credits :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAu68OsFg…
Acidblonde: I’m a painter. I worked temporarily as a sales representative for a KIA Autosport to earn money for grad school next year. There is no public transportation near my home and gas prices just to get to work were equal to 50% of my paycheck. It was one reason I left my job. Gore would raise gas prices to $8 a gallon if he had his way.
Note that I did not criticize the idea of global warming (I’m not a scientist) but the “green movement” which screams “scam” to most skeptical people. There’s no unified oversight to tell consumers just how much of their technological carbon causes global warming and nothing to back up the idea that planting a tree will stop it…in fact most carbon comes from naturally decaying plant matter.
So who am I going to believe ? Al Gore who collects money from people for his own “carbon credit” company while using 10x the power of the average Joe ? Or my own lying eyes ?

the 1930′s was the hottest decade on record and there were less cars on the road and less people putting their “carbon footprint” on the Earth.
This year may be the coldest in 7 years. (we have to wait for the end of the year to make the final conclusion)
I also would like to point out that warmer temperatures are more dangerous than cooler temperatures, More people die of cold-related deaths than heat related ones. Flu, bronchitis, common colds, and heart attacks are more likely to occur in colder temps. Not to mention that colder temps kill crops more than hot temps which can cause catastrophic shortages of food.

If we continue down the path that the Chicken Littles of the global warming debate would have us go, then we would all revert back to caveman days when we walked or ran everywhere we went with little or no influence on the planet.
I’ll start listening to the morons when I hear them start to embtace atomic power as a viable alternative to fossel fuel.

You don’t have to be a scientist to see what is happening. All you have to do is look at the environment.
All over the world glaciers have melted, lakes have disappeared. I live in the Great Lakes, our shoreline has moved more than 500 feet as the water is receding. The fish have nowhere to spawn. The streams don’t have sufficient water for the fish to swim up.
Vast stands of trees just die from the lack of water. That is for everyone to see from the roadside. Even the trees that get enough water, they are burnt and dead at the top from the heat and sun.
You will find every excuse to maintain your lifestyle. Just pure GREED.
WHAT FOOLS YOU ARE.

with respect to your question and the information you have provided here,i am not a scientist,but i can see vast changes in seasons that are undeniable to everyone,for me global warming is a reality,time holds the answer to this question

I’m open-minded about the issue, however I think that there’s a distinct possibility that many scientists will always say whatever gets them more funding and shut up if they disagree. This doesn’t make the Global Warming sceptics right, however the fact is that it’s convenient for politicians to encourage fear of global warming so that they can exert more control over the gullible masses. Anything which promotes fear is something politicians love, as it means the politicians can be seen to be ‘doing something about it’.
So many scientists probably go along just because it’s convenient to do so.

I’d say it’s about time the mainstream media starts covering both sides of this issue, not just continue the fear-mongering they are currently practicing.
It’s too bad “green” has become a very profitable industry.
