Al Gore Delivers Angry Rant Against Anti-Global Warming ‘Pseudo-Scientist’ ‘Bullshit’

audio
» 386 comments

Former Vice President Al Gore‘s crusade to stop man-made climate change hit the road last week as Gore attended the Aspen Institute’s “Networks and Citizenship” media panel to discuss those who do not believe in his cause. In a rage-fueled rant against his detractors, Gore told the audience that much of the anti-global warming rhetoric came from a small group of people “washing back at you the same crap over and over and over again” who had made it unacceptable “to use the goddamn word ‘climate.’”

Gore began by comparing the anti-global warming block to tobacco lobbyists who “succeeded in delaying the implementation of the surgeon general’s report for 40 years… It was evil, evil, evil.” He declined to name names, but gave the impression that a small group of people were benefiting from the debate by paying for alternate and less reliable theories to come out against climate change:

And some of the exact same people — I can go down a list of their names — are involved in this. And so what do they do? They pay pseudo scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message: ‘This climate thing, it’s nonsense. Man-made CO2 doesn’t trap heat. It may be volcanoes.’ Bullshit! ‘It may be sun spots.’ Bullshit! ‘It’s not getting warmer.’ Bullshit!

What seemed to get him angriest, however, was the prospect that those that believed in global warming were outnumbered. “You heard them washing back at you the same crap over and over and over again,” he cried, arguing that there was “no longer a shared reality” from which to begin scientific study and that those that shared his reality were being hindered by the debate. “It’s no longer acceptable in mixed company, meaning bipartisan company, to use the goddamn word ‘climate,’” he railed.

The speech also included some talk on the current fiscal crisis in America, where Gore noted that the country had not been served well by lobbyists paying for public advertising for their causes, and stating that the wide dissemination of the idea that spending and not revenue was the problem had led to the second recession, and that was “absolutely insane.”

     It’s a paper written by a couple of climate skeptics from Alabama that
    manage the radiometer on the Terra satellite. The radiometer measures
    light reflected from the Earth. Their readings show that more heat is
    reflecting from the Earth. Their conclusion is so off it’s embarrassing.
    They conclude that since the Earth is emanating ever more heat, this
    must mean that global warming is not happening. That’s like saying “My
    oven is emanating more heat, therefore it’s not getting hotter.”

    “their conclusion is so off it’s embarrassing”

    wrong, and furthermore that is a bit rich:

    (1) IPCC models have shown poor correlation with actual temperature changes (16% via. GISS Models), and although the models predict warming, warming, warming (hockey schtick), there has been relatively static global temperatures (HadCRUT) for over a decade now (N.B. “hide the decline”). Furthermore, solar activity is predicted by the National Solar Observatory to significantly decline over the next few decades and we may actually end up with a period of cooling (not warming).

    (2) “Mike’s trick” on proxy data fudged out the Medieval Warm Period (~800-1300 AD) and the Little Ice Age (~1400-1850 AD). These are important phenomena which contradict global warming theory. Natural variable (such as solar activity, cloud elevation (Svensmark), ocean current fluxes, and volcanic activity) far outweigh any effects due to human CO2 emissions. 

    (3) Glaciergate: The IPCC stated that the Himalaya glaciers would disappear by 2035. This was an error picked up on review, but was blatantly ignored via. the “pal review” process (the calculation was off by ~300 years)

    (4) By Hansen’s predictions in the late 1980′s, Manhattan should be half underwater by now.

    (5) Please show how CO2 precedes temperature in the paleoclimatology data linked below. Kind of an inconvenient truth for the flawed GHG theory:

    It snows somewhere everyday, that doesn’t counter the reality of Global Warming. The fact that there is no detectable warming since 1995 counters the reality of Global Warming.  The fact that NASA satellites prove that radiated heat is lost back to outerspace than was assumed by Global Warmist “scientists” counters the reality of global warming.  The fact that there is no increase in sea levels counters global warming.  The fact that global warmist “scientists” refuse to provide their raw data, transpose normally warm months to months that should be cooler, use data from non standard and inaccurate weather stations, cherry pick the ring data from trees that support their beliefs while hiding ring data from other nearby trees that does not support their beliefs, conspire to silence scientist who question global warming, rig software algorithms to generate “increases” no matter what numbers were reported those facts call into question the existence of Man Made Global Warming. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_B5344MYI6BXUL36ADKK3JBTPJA GJPinks

    No, because it was proven that quantifiable and measurable claims were not true (he lied) 
    If you claim that increasing CO2 is killing fairies, since I can’t find them, you may be accurate.
    If you claim that global warming is thinning the icepack and killing off the polar bears, I can prove that while in some places the ice pack is thinning, in other places it is increasing and that the number of polar bears is at the highest level ever measured. 
    Why don’t you call for something that will really halt this global warming, throw some virgins in a volcano or maybe throw some women in water and see if they float, you know those are the witches and they cause even more global warming than CO2.

    Quote: “the NASA ERBS and Terra satellite data show that for 25 years and counting, carbon dioxide emissions have directly and indirectly trapped far less heat than alarmist computer models have predicted.”

    It is kind of hard to refute NASA data. And when that data is plugged into the climate models, the anthropogenic global warming phenomenon disappears and the theory no longer explains anything.

    Now, can we begin to address real problems instead of imaginary ones? We have all these highly-trained scientists; can’t we put them to work on something else? Or have they been so thoroughly discredited that they need to get jobs in the restaurant or hospitality industries?

    Gore is a bag of hot air masquerading as a “weather” expert. Global warming is a joke and a hoax. It doesn’t take an appointed judge to tell you that. Go study the Club of Rome. This statement is attributed to that organization: ”In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. In their totality and their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself.”
    Al Gore is a member. Those who have fallen for the hoax are having their behaviour changed by master manipulators, Al Gore being cheif among them.

    In the 70′s it was the impending ice age. Some of the same scientists involved with the global warming fear mongering were the same scientists that said humans would be extinct in 2000 because of cooling. These people will not deal with any stats prior to the industrialized age because it kills their argument. The fact is, the planet has warmed and cooled naturally (sometimes far more extreme) long before humans were around. Greenland used to actually be green.

    Just so it is clear as to who the IPCC is the following is from the splash page on their websi,e; this I offer to you as what they would have you believe their mission to be.

    “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts.”

    Here are some more stated goals that I am sure that they wish you would never see;

    “We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination… So we have to offerup scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts… Eachof us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”- Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports“Unless we announce disasters no one will listen.”- Sir John Houghton, first chairman of IPCCAnd let us not forget about our friends at the UN who every few years have a global summit in hopes of having just one US president sign a treaty which would give up our sovereignity and allow global governance to be ushered into the lives of every citizen of this country….”No matter if the science of global warming is all phony, climate change provides the greatestopportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.“-Christine Stewart, fmr Canadian Minister of the Environment”Nations are in effect ceding portions of their sovereignty to the international community andbeginning to create a new system of international environmental governance as a means of solvingotherwise unmanageable crises.“- Lester Brown, WorldWatch Institute”Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlikeanything the world has ever experienced – a major shift in the priorities of both governments andindividuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift willdemand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated intoindividual and collective decision-making at every level.“- UN Agenda 21Now again, I ask you belivers not only explain the above quotes of the worldwide leaders of the Global Warming movement, but please tell me why I should have no faith in NASA as you people move to further destroy our economy?http://news.yahoo.com/nasa-data-blow-gaping-hold-global-warming-alarmism-192334971.html

    97% of the world’s climate scientists agree that global warming is real and is largely man-made. This is why Gore is upset. He has all the facts on his side, but the gullible right can be persuaded by oil-backed lunatics who are paid to lie, obscure facts, and simply deny what is right in front of them. Al Gore is not a leading climate scientist, but then, you don’t have to listen to him. Listen to the climate scientists.

    1. The Earth is NOT fragile. 2. There was a period of global cooing…until the EPA was created in the early 70′s. 3. Climate is unpredictable (how many times does the weather man get it right?) 4. There is NO way to prove that mankind is the cause of global warming because nature is so unpredictable. 5. Anything that has to be stated allowing for “margins of error” is suspect, and should not dictate policy.

    97% of climate scientists agree that human activity is warming the planet. I don’t care what sort of argument you make, the scientists are trained and have the ability to accurately assess what is actually taking place. If you care to look very deeply at all, you’ll find that the warming deniers are paid for by the oil industry. You are gullible enough to believe that Big Oil isn’t behind this. They are.

    One more thing.  What is the ideal temperature for the earth?  Was it too cool before?  How can we know either way?  As the earth’s temperatures increased gradually from 1950 to 2000 due to natural solar cycles, the number of hurricanes went DOWN by 20% (Sorry guys, it’s a fact – Check out the NOAA site), and more of our planet is now better suited for farming to feed millions more.  If any one of you mindless fear mongers can tell me why fewer hurricanes and more food to feed so many more on this planet is a bad thing, I’m all ears.  Al Gore knows that statistic on the hurricanes (And about the increased food output from farms around the world), yet the cover of his ’Convenient Lie’ DVD shows smokestacks owned by evil corporations, suggesting that they are responsible global warming which then causes MORE hurricanes.  What?  Hey guys… Try thinking for yourselves.  It’s fun.

  • Zengugs

    Yup, and of course, Gore, a politician and former attorney, knows all about the scientific method and has published many legitimate scientific papers.  Plus, Gore has absolutely no skin in the game.  Don’t pay attention to the fact that his assets have increased 50-fold since leaving office.  That’s just irrelevant.

    Kinda can’t get behind a guy who says that science is settled on an issue.  My understanding is that science is never settled on an issue – it just starts accepting that which is never found incorrect and that has no plausible competing hypothesis.  Gore’s problem is that the theories (climate and economic) he’s selling (that would be SELLING) aren’t the only viable theories, and they have serious holes in them.

    Meanwhile, he’s got a promotion machine that’s off the charts, and a lot of people who will accept his position because they feel he should have won the presidential race, playing on his sympathy more than his credibility.

    I’m not sure if anyone here remembers, but Gore also has a really big problem with those who speak out in a manner he does’t like/agree with.  He just thinks it shouldn’t be allowed – see some of his appearances on his Current TV network.  Anyone here remember the PMRC?  I do.  He and Sen Jack Danforth (R-MO) headed that committee in the Senate that sought full on censorship (that’s CENSORSHIP, folks) of the entertainment industry.  It was not about warning labels on records/CDs/etc.  It was about not allowing anything deemed “unacceptable.”  The RIAA came up with the ratings voluntarily to avoid the censorship thing.  Being from Missouri, I promised I’d never vote for either of these guys for anything, and I haven’t (nope, not a huge Bush fan either, remember there were other candidates out there).  Censorship is plain ol’ un-American. Gore’s got history here, man, be careful how far you want to back this guy.

  • schlep

    We sure are egotistical if we believe that in  100 yrs or so we could have ruined the whole planet.  To realize how ridiculous that is doesn’t take a slew of scientists to prove.  It just takes common sense and a little logic.  God is in control, not us.

    Multiple times last week, I challenged people who believe in climate change and think detractors are just wrong to explain how they can claim their belief is actually a scientific fact without having any hard data for any time period long enough to draw any actual scientific conclusions (which have to be based in fact to even be considered scientific). After using the actual definition of science to refute climate change or whatever people call it this month, a funny thing happened each time: No one responded to my argument. They continued to post in the comments and even repeat the same crap. They just realized that there was no way they could deny any of what I said.

    When science is actually on your side, you have facts to back you up. You don’t need to scream “Bullshit!” 20 times. Al Gore’s essential gripe with detractors is that they refuse to buy into the “shared reality” of climate change. There is only reality. I hope more people who are currently members of the Church of Climatology have the strength of character to walk away from contradictions and lies of the climate science priests of the junk science world and Al Gore as each person is forced to confront the fact that the only results of buying into Gore’s “shared reality” has been the consolidation of power and shameless accumulation of wealth by Gore and his political and “scientific” cronies.

    “The fact that there is no detectable warming since 1995 counters the reality of Global Warming.”

    Wrong.  There has been: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Instrumental_Temperature_Record.png

    “The fact that NASA satellites prove that radiated heat is lost back to
    outerspace than was assumed by Global Warmist “scientists” counters the
    reality of global warming.”

    No, it does not.  It might indicate that it is happening slower than we think or it might indicate that carbon emissions have less of an effect than we thought.  It does not indicate global warming isn’t happening.

    “The fact that there is no increase in sea levels counters global warming.”

    Tell that to the people of Tuvalu.  This is also false, by the way.  Sea level is increasing: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=6638

    “The fact that global warmist “scientists” refuse to provide their raw data”

    Yeah, that’s also patently false.  The data is available.  How else would the peer review process exist? 

    “transpose normally warm months to months that should be cooler, use data
    from non standard and inaccurate weather stations, cherry pick the ring
    data from trees that support their beliefs while hiding ring data from
    other nearby trees that does not support their beliefs, conspire to
    silence scientist who question global warming, rig software algorithms
    to generate “increases” no matter what numbers were reported those facts
    call into question the existence of Man Made Global Warming.”

    I  don’t think the opinion of a Rocket Scientist is necessary.  It is only common sense that man made pollution affects the planet in a destructive way and that it has the potential to destroy the world in time.  How can anyone argue that point.  It is simply common sense.  So why be angry with someone like Al Gore or the scientists who say that we must control air pollution.  Having said that….what can we do about controlling pollution.  Where do we begin?  Can anyone give up their automobile, home heating, hot water and all of the modern day conveniences we take for granted.  Can businesses simply shut down?  When Al Gore tells us what is happening, why not also tell us what to do about it.  He has his home rigged with Solar Energy Panels.  He can afford it.  I can barely afford to pay the mortgage.  So what is the average person supposed to do to improve the situation and our chances for our children to inherit a beautiful planet.  Where do we begin?  How do we go about improving the situation.  Can Al Gore answer that one?  Is he going to give up his jet and stop traveling by air and by car?

    “1. The Earth is NOT fragile.”

    The earth isn’t but life certainly is.  There’s a reason why the thin, perfect distance from the sun we are at is called the ‘Goldilocks zone’.

    “3. Climate is unpredictable (how many times does the weather man get it right?)”

    The weatherman is a meteorologist, not a climatologist.  Day to day weather events are not ‘climate’, they are weather.  Climate is weather measured across long periods of time and our understanding of it depends on trends, not events.

    “4. There is NO way to prove that mankind is the cause of global warming because nature is so unpredictable.”

    Might as well do away with science then.  Since nature is so unpredictable, we can’t prove the causes of natural phenomena, like the aurora borealis or rain.

    “5. Anything that has to be stated allowing for “margins of error” is suspect, and should not dictate policy.”

    Once again, you should probably just do away with science, then.  Let me introduce you to a central part of the scientific method: falsifiability.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

    Quote: “Gore, a politician and former attorney…”  Are you sure he’s a former attorney? He barely managed to get an undergraduate degree, and that probably because he was a senator’s son. He briefly attended Vanderbilt Law School, after briefly attending the Divinity School; but he was jut not a very good student.

    I think he had a lot to gain if the Chicago Climate Exchange had succeeded; I think he had no money invested, his contribution was as a spokesman and huckster. Quoting from Wikipedia: “The effective final CFI position was reached in November 2010 when the carbon credit price per metric ton of CO2 was between 10 and 5 US Cents, down from its highest value of 750 US Cents in May 2008. Trading reached zero monthly volume in February 2010 and remained at zero for the next 9 months when the decision to close the exchange was announced.”

    So no buyers and no sellers — it’s hard to earn money from commissions when there’s not a single trade.

    A quick check of ice core samples from Antartica showed that at one time there was tropical life there – such as, palm trees and other warm climate plants and animals . So clearly ice at the poles is not “normal,” but palm trees are! So by extension, global warming is a good thing. Also, by extension, the ice cores pre-date factories and automobiles, so man is NOT the cause of warming or cooling of the earth.

    Al Gore said this in a rant about the Anti Global warming people:
    “And some of the exact same people — I can go down a list of their names — are involved in this. And so what do they do? They pay pseudo scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message: ‘This climate thing, it’s nonsense. Man-made CO2 doesn’t trap heat. It may be volcanoes.’ Bullshit! ‘It may be sun spots.’ Bullshit! ‘It’s not getting warmer.’ Bullshit!”

    Im no scientist, but i have taken many science classes, and even a 10 year old could tell you that CO2 would NEVER be the problem of “Global Warming”. Why?
    Well, when we breath in OXYGEN, it is converted to CARBON DIOXIDE or CO2 that we expel into the environment. The CO2 then is inhaled my PLANTS who then convert CO2 into OXYGEN in which we breath!

    Who the hell believes this idiot’s bullshit about CO2 causing Global Warming, because i dont. Its basic elementary science! Hes trying to brainwash people into believing in his propaganda, Hopfully people start waking up and see that this Govnt isnt but a bunch of liars and greedy people trying to control everyone to their advantage.

    And FYI, if hes so concerned about the planet, why does he live in a huge multimillion doallr house with 2 of his own jets? and while on the topic, i see he wants to say scientists were paid of by the “non believers” well seeing has he has millions of dollars, how is it that he couldnt have paid anyone off to lie? i mean come on people politicians do it ALL THE TIME!

  • http://commonsensemajority.wordpress.com/ commonsensemajority

    Sorry, this 97% figure is a distortion, and it is revealing that you do not provide the underlying source.

    I believe you are referring to the Doran Survey. This has been debunked.

    - 10,257 scientists were sent a survey
    - 7,054 did not respond
    - 567 responded that they did not believe that man was causing climate change

    - Only 157 were climate scientists

    - The 97% figure was actually based on a small subset of 77 cherry-picked “specialists”, whose details and qualifications were not disclosed (75/77 responded in affirmative, resulting in 97% figure).
    http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2010/12/30/lawrence-solomon-75-climate-scientists-think-humans-contribute-to-global-warming/#ixzz19g02SUhj

    - The questions in the survey were generalised. One key question asked if waming during the 20th century was significant (statistically). Of course it was. However, correlation is not causation. We have been in a natural period of warming ever since the Little Ice Age ended around 1850. The LIA is indisputable, because it is linked with a maunder minimum (1645-1715).

    Climate change is always happening. The vast majority of this is due to natural factors (solar activity, clouds (Svensmark), ocean current fluxes, volcanic activity).
    http://www.biocab.org/Geological_Timescale.jpg

    Unfortunately, those defending the “hockey shtick” have little scientific argument nowadays and resort mainly to the same old tired stuff regarding “consensus”. If you do some research into “Climategate”, you will find that the climate science field was significantly compromised by “pal review”, led by a tightly-knit bunch who were engaged in group-think. Do a little research and start to think for yourself rather than blindly accepting spoon-fed snippets selectively fed to you.

    I love how people whine “The climate is changing, global warming…” blah-blah-blah! Obviously the climate is changing. It always has, the climate, the atmosphere, the air we breath, We’ll just have to adapt to what’s changing. Think back to a few million years ago. Plant life started producing more oxygen as waste, back then oxygen was a toxic gas, and lethal to animal life, they adapted, now oxygen is the 2nd most abundant gas in the air. Whatever happens to the planet, we’ll adapt. And if we can’t adapt well, we’re fucked. Plain, simple.

    And yet, your argument is dependent on a single study.

    Blips in data are still data nonetheless and still must be considered when making conclusions.  If you want to be scientifically honest, you don’t simply write off data as ‘anecdotal’ just because it doesn’t jive with your previously-held conclusion.

    I don’t know that anyone has all the answers with regard to global warming.  But to suggest that it doesn’t exist at all is just putting your head into the sand.  Just look at the earth’s temperature records and the proof is there, With that part of the problem is many don’t understand that even small average temperature increases have more impact than most people realize. 

    If you really don’t believe that our earth is getting warmer how do YOU explain the fact that  our glaciers are melting  and not being replaced at faster and faster rates.  In the 1800′s Glacier National Park had over 150 glaciers.  Now there are less than 50.  Just where do you think those glaciers went if they didn’t melt?  As as far as I know, heat is what causes them to melt.  Do some research on what’s happening in Alaska, too.

    Correlation is not causation. The warming has been largely natural further to the Little Ice Age that ended ~1850. A large % of the natural contribution can be observed via. solar activity and associated irradiance (see link below, esp. regarding the “maunder minimum” and “modern maximum”):

    Most people I talk to that deny climate change tend to be religious people who already have a view on how the Earth will end.  When I point out the number of scientists saying that climate change is for real and humans are contributing to it, I get the response that God is in charge of the planet. I guess the point is that many of the people in denial about it aren’t even looking at the science.  Their objection is faith based.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JUKR6IKFXUU4BHGOMHVDXJ6TEQ Ken

    Whether one likes Gore or not, he musters some impressive facts and figures and no one can deny he has access to some of the top climate scientists in the world.   The problem I have with those who don’t believe what he says is that it seems more emotional than factual.  Some of the emotion directed against his efforts seems to be because he is a liberal Democrat– so a lot of the rhetoric against him is less directed to the climate than to his politics.   Unfortunately not wanting something to be true is not the same as its being false.   Fortunately, wanting something to be true also does not make it true.   This is where the science comes in.   What does the science say?   

    People in Virginia Beach and the Maldive Islands are seeing the ocean rise;  people in Joplin, MO and Alabama and the Southwest and the heartland are seeing more extremes of weather.   That could simply be the weather cycle of the earth. But does it make sense to insist that human beings have no impact upon the climate?  The oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Alaska have had an impact upon the environment.  Vehicle emissions created what used to be regarded as among the worst smog in the world in Los Angeles, and when these were limited, the smog levels decreased.   Does it really make sense to contend that human beings have no effect on this climate, or a negligible effect?   

    There may be some scientists who say that this is true, that we humans on earth have as much effect on the climate and environment as a flea on the back of an elephant.   But the majority disagree.  And more to the point, they have reasons for disagreeing.   If we are going to challenge Gore and these climate scientists, we ought to do it by marshaling facts.   Those who ignore the facts and arguments based on them could be right, but they are less likely to be right.   There were probably people who said that diseases were natural and that scientists who claimed they were born by viruses and bacteria and microoganisms were being inane, because “everyone knows” that God punishes humanity by sending disease.   But it turned out that scientists were right and many of us who write here in these comments have either been saved by the discoveries of science ourselves or have loved ones and friends who have been saved.   

    Whether we argue against Gore and the climate scientists who support him or whether we argue for him, we ought to have our facts straight.   Otherwise, we are just arguing from prejudice.

    I cant believe so many people as so ignorant of how we as humans effect this world. We will be the end of life on this world as we know it. The sun will always effect this planet, but its effect is compounded by our neglect. No government wants thier people to know the real extent of the damage. It would be bad for bussiness. God forbid we put more effort in saving our world instead of making money. imo ~ they think the ship is sinking, and they cant stop it, so lets just ride it down to the bottom and party all the way.

  • Leslielandberg

    This is the wikipedia intro on global warming.  This information is not disputed.

    Global warming is the continuing rise in the average
    temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. Global warming is caused
    by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting from human activities such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels.[2][3]
    This finding is recognized by the national science academies of all the
    major industrialized countries and is not disputed by any scientific
    body of national or international standing.[4][5][A]

    The instrumental temperature record shows that the average global surface temperature increased by 0.74 °C (1.33 °F) during the 20th century.[6] Climate model projections are summarized in the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
    (IPCC). They indicate that during the 21st century the global surface
    temperature is likely to rise a further 1.5 to 1.9 °C (2.7 to 3.4 °F)
    for their lowest emissions scenario and 3.4 to 6.1 °C (6.1 to 11 °F) for their highest.[7] The ranges of these estimates arise from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations.[8][9]

    An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, and a probable expansion of subtropical deserts.[10] Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects of the warming include more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events including heatwaves, droughts and heavy rainfall events, species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes, and changes in agricultural yields.
    Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the
    globe, though the nature of these regional changes is uncertain.[11]
    In a 4 °C world, the limits for human adaptation are likely to be
    exceeded in many parts of the world, while the limits for adaptation for
    natural systems would largely be exceeded throughout the world. Hence,
    the ecosystem services upon which human livelihoods depend would not be
    preserved.[12]

    Proposed responses to global warming include mitigation to reduce emissions, adaptation to the effects of global warming, and geoengineering
    to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere or reflect incoming
    solar radiation back to space. The main international mitigation effort
    is the Kyoto Protocol, which seeks to stabilize greenhouse gas concentration to prevent a “dangerous anthropogenic interference”.[13] As of May 2010, 192 states had ratified the protocol.[14] The only members of the UNFCCC that were asked to sign the treaty but have not yet ratified it are the USA and Afghanistan.

    Have you ever thought there is more than one way to look at every issue. We do need to change our ways but we cannot change everthing that has taken years to become a common thing and just do a 180. As with most issues if everyone would be open minded and work together with change of anything and try to see the good of both sides, we as Americans could change the world for the better.  Just one persons thoughts.

    And 98% of the worlds climate so called scientists go along with the 2% ONLY so they do not get censured and criticized by the few idiots who pull the strings in that vile and crooked little world.   They have seen the data, the real and the cooked and they know the truth,  and that REALLY pisses off Gore.  You see,  Gore needs warming for his income.  No warming and lots of taxpayer grants go away.  Greedy scientists cant have that, so they make sure the data tells the story they need, which has no bearing on reality.

    Researchers lied about sea levels rising
    June 20, 2011 ·
    We’ve always thought it odd that the scientists who are officially responsible for measuring sea levels around the world are located a mile high in Colorado. We took it as a sign of their very real fear that sea levels are rising.The University of Colorado’s Sea Level Research Group is supposed to be an impartial scientific organization dedicated to the search for truth. Turns out that they consider truth to be a subjective matter. Al Gore’s oceanfront Montecito estate: Sea levels aren’t rising, but the bullshit is getting deeperFox News reports the Rocky Mountain mayhem:“Gatekeepers of our sea level data are manufacturing a fictitious sea level rise that is not occurring,” said James M. Taylor, a lawyer who focuses on environmental issues for the Heartland Institute.
    Steve Nerem, the director of the widely relied-upon research center, told FoxNews.com that his group added the 0.3 millimeters per year to the actual sea level measurements because land masses, still rebounding from the ice age, are rising and increasing the amount of water that oceans can hold.
    “We have to account for the fact that the ocean basins are actually getting slightly bigger… water volume is expanding,” he said, a phenomenon they call glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA).
    Taylor calls it tomfoolery.
    “There really is no reason to do this other than to advance a political agenda,” he said.Apparently the University of Colorado is conducting its research based on a scientific principle known as “Making crap up as you go.”Climate scientist John Christy, a professor at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, said that the amount of water in the ocean and sea level were two different things.
    “To me… sea level rise is what’s measured against the actual coast,” he told FoxNews.com. “That’s what tells us the impact of rising oceans.”
    Taylor agreed.
    “Many global warming alarmists say that vast stretches of coastline are going to be swallowed up by the sea. Well, that means we should be talking about sea level, not about global water volume.”Al Gore warned us that sea levels would rise twenty feet in the next hundred years. That is far scarier than saying the ocean is going to get twenty feet deeper in the next hundred years.Bottom line: If the facts don’t prove your theory, change the facts.

    “The fact that there is no increase in sea levels counters global warming.”

    You cant be serious with that crap……go ask a long time beach house owner if the oceans aren’t rising …..lol your an idiot

  • Sov_sage

    This “97% of scientists” claim is so misleading and fraudulent that it is embarrassing that they use it. The 97% statistic is based on only 79 climatologists, and those participating were self-selected.
    The study was fairly simple. It had a large database of earth
    scientists, and sent them an invitation to participate in their study.
    If they accepted, then they took an online survey. The survey asked two
    primary questions:

    1. When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that
    mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained
    relatively constant?
    2. Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?This is the widely quoted survey. One irreleveant question and one that is phrased so vaguely that it’s a joke.

    The analysis from a 2010 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found a 97% consensus among climate researchers regarding anthropogenic climate change.  The co-authors of the paper, led by graduate student Bill Anderegg of Stanford University, tapped online lists of scientists who have signed statements in support or opposition to the main findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), namely, that the planet is warming and humans are largely responsible. They categorized the scientists as either “convinced” or “unconvinced” and then analyzed the groups for the number of papers they had published which included the word “climate” in a Google scholar search. “Unconvinced” scientists comprised only 2% of the top 50 researchers ranked by number of climate publications and 3% of the top 100. Among scientists with 20 or more papers on climate, the so-called convinced group had an average of 172 citations for their top paper compared with 105 for the unconvinced.

    Here’s a clip from Wikipedia citing the paper:

    A 2010 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences analysed “1,372 climate researchers and their publication and citation data to show that (i) 97–98% of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field support the tenets of ACC outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and (ii) the relative climate expertise and scientific prominence of the researchers unconvinced of ACC are substantially below that of the convinced researchers”.

    The 2010 paper is not definitive proof that ACC or human induced global warming is an earth shattering inevitability but it (and several others like it) should raise serious concern and is definitely difficult to ignore – no matter what holes/flaws you poke at it or try to climb into.

    Observable and scientific evidence abounds all around us that global warming is real and that humans are responsible in large part for recent variances in climate warming in the last several decades. This is not to say that it can’t be refuted – but the preponderence of the evidence is clear to most climate scientists and to not take action to try to prevent or slow down the rate of change or warming is just foolish.

I agree that he tried to make money off all of us and has failed for the most part. Do I have a PhD or anything else, no, only God given common sense. I worked outside for over 30 years and watched the axles of the earth shift for years. The earth itself has changed, not man made, unless you want to think that the weight of the people has caused the shift. Like an island flipping up side down. NOT!
    I watched the sun set over the years and noticed the position and used Common sense to understand what was happening. Get ouside and watch nature, learn something besides what someone else tells you to think. Use your own brain, figure it out, there is no reason to be mad or try to be fancy about any of it. This earth is going to do what it always does. Ganjaking4201016, if your ashamed, may God lead you to wisdom someday, but the way I see it, it won’t be today.

    if the poles are melting, why hasnt sea levels risen ?  there are icemelts everytime the seasons change and the freeze thaw cycle continues on. If global warming is true and the polar ice caps have been melting off ,it would show, coastal areas would be flooding. Coastal areas are not flooding , carbon molecules donot trap heat, they never have and never will no matter how many tests and studies they do, to try to prove it does . You never hear anything about global warming especially 3 yrs ago when we had a cool summer , i could sure use some of that global warming in the winter .

    3) Scientists who would become pariahs within their own peer group if they submitted data that disputes AGW

    …. then the percentage will drop below 50% who truly believe that the science is fact. Way below 50%.

    “Big Oil” is behind the “Deniers”? (and the word “Deniers” is a deliberate and shameless slur equating them with Holocaust deniers). Can you provide evidence of that?

    Who’s behind the Alarmists? Big Government? Big Al? They get their money from *somewhere*. A lot of money.

    There is no Global Warming!  Just like Y2K and the global freezing claims in the 1960′s and 70′s were.  Global Warming is being used to generate fear and panic. Those behind this movement are using it to control people’s lives and for financial gain.  As Al Gore selling Carbon Credits to offset carbon dioxide emissions and greatly enriching him. (What is a carbon credit?)
    There are not many individuals, groups, or organizations willing to stand up against this fraud that is being perpetuated for fear of being persecuted, harassed, and ostracized by those who support global warming within the scientific and other communities. But fortunately, a few have decided to do the right thing and take a stand against this evil, proving just how unscientifically founded global warming is and exposing those who are behind it.
    There are more than 650 leading scientists have joined a body of dissenting scientists (Al Gore call them all pseudo scientists)– labeling them variously a lie, a hoax and part of a “new religion.”
    One of the” pseudo scientists to pretend to be scientists”, Dr. Roy Spencer, that has his work peer reviewed, has written:
    “With new data collected from NASA’s Terra satellite, which established ecological model has been proven inaccurate. Hypotheses based on the satellite’s findings show that planet Earth actually releases heat into space, more than it retains it. The higher efficiency of releasing energy outside of Earth contradicts former forecasts of climate change.”
    In other words: the model that Global Warmers use for their predictions are incorrect (a lie!).

    Al Gore…. what a joke! The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!! He preaches that all of us need to work on reducing our carbon foot print and he just continues to increase his with bigger houses, bigger cars and flying all over the world in his private jet…yeah he sets an example everyone should work to achieve. We need media pollution control.

  • green lantern

    Let’s see. Al Gore is a owner in the company that will sell carbon credits. So if we buy into the cabon credit sytem and make him richer, our polution issues will be resolved?? Al Gore also took two planes and 8 SUVs to the climate summit a few years back. I do not believe he is worreid about polution. Just his pocket book.

    Will all of you “intelligencia” care to read the very recent report issued by NASA? The fact is  that they launched 2 Earth Satellites over 10 years ago PRECISELY to MONITER THE SO CALLED “CLIMATE WARMING” caused by carbon dioxide. These satellites are still up there and functioning properly. The findings
    so far, after 10 years of reporting has shown that there is NO correlation between man made carbon emission and temperate change! If you not too busy being another” GENIUS” Al GORE, take the time to look it up. It is all over the web. Now THAT’s Why Angry AL is pissed off!!! There goes his multimillion dollar HOAX!

    Agreed. And Gore has a right to be angry. He has been personally attacked for his fight to get this information to the people. I do not personally think he is conducting himself as he should but at least someone like Al Gore is spreading the word. The sad thing is this is not, nor should it have ever been a political thing. This is not about money. These scientists who have been studying and giving their lives for this are not making money on their findings. Bush’s regime had a noted scientist declared insane in order to keep him from speaking out when he was in office. Things that make you go hmmmmm. This is not about Al Gore. This is about our planet in a state of emergency and the damn politicians are trying to keep the information from getting to the people. PERIOD! I, for one, am glad that Gore has the guts to stand up and say, even angrily and with swearing, that this is WRONG!!!  It is time to listen before it is too late and stop judging the messenger. THE MESSAGE IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT! WE ALL NEED TO SAVE THIS PLANET. NOT JUST AL GORE!!!

    Kate said she is convinced that the earth is warming because of all the glaciers melting…Kate, did you think that maybe that warmer ocean currents might have something to do with them melting…why is the oceans warming up…well, the sun still packs a punch and if I remember my science, suns get hotter as they age and eventually go super-nova before exploding or burning out/and or collapse in on themselves…, our sun been around for at least 6 billion plus years, but I’m think it’s safe to say you won’t be around for any of that…the oceans may also be heating up though volcanic activity near the surface, but underwater (ring of fire)…in any case, Al Gore has not got one penny of my money…unless it was taken from tax-dollars I’ve paid..for all of you who want to put money in his pocket, continue to pay to see him speak, buy his books and DVD’s…he really going to need it to pay for rising energy costs for his mansion in Nashville and $$$$$ for the divorce settlement…lets not forget all the jet fuel consumption for his private jet to fly him to all his speeches…and the carbon credits he claims to use to offset his carbon footprint…comes from a company he owns…huuuummmm, should would like to see the books on that claim…what scares me is not “global warming” but Al Gore and his cult followers actually believes it…hook, line, and sinker…

    Hmm, I believe that the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have nothing to do with it.  If you look at the history of the world’s temperature over the last ? million years, you will see cyclic temperature variations.

    More.  In the 1700′s the Hudson River froze over.  In the 1800′s it didn’t.  Too early for Industrial Revolution heat.  The Earth will get warmer for a while, then it will get colder.  Just cyclic temperatures from the past repeating.  With no knowledge, assume the same.  Of course, there is always the problem of the Earth’s Core.  That could change things.  But humans are pretty wimpy in causing change.  

    Some think humans are adding to the temperature change.  Maybe.  Not causing, but adding to it.  That’s a possibility to be checked.  Or we could listen to a very smart politician, who listens to attention-seeking scientists.  

    Attention-seeking scientists.  Reminds me of Kirlian photography.   Some people can find it.  Other’s say it’s stupid.  I say, duh, static electricity.  Yes, there’s something there; no, it’s not interesting. 

  • Dps

    the US is polluting the air the water and yes adding to global warming. People are getting rich the money they can see and feel. Global warming is a lot more subtle but no less real.The people that can best effect alternative energy sources just want to get their greedy little hands on the last drop of oil the nugget of coal the last cubic foot of gas before they sink one dime into clean energy.It’s not that Al is wrong ,he just can’t sell it.Look how many people tried to say we weren’t putting a hole in the atmosphere when we were recklessly dumping refrigerants.I took one brave and brillant woman scientist to prove to everyone that if we kept it up we would create an unrepairable hole that would increase all on it’s own and without an atmosphere we would all burn up.So now it is illegal to use that type of refrigerant all over the world

  • Dps

    oh you are quite the expert say something else that let’s everyone know you have an IQ a little higher than your shoe size

  • Shestarre

    Now this is one stupid human. Global warming does not mean it is getting hotter. Why don’t dumbasses actually do some research before you go showing off your stupidity. Global warming is about climate change. That means all the climate, not whether or not it is hot or cold. Gosh what a bunch of dweebs you are. You attack instead of getting facts. And it is not all about liberals. I, among many others, am conservative, so stop insulting the conservatives who happen to be informed. See, that is the difference between you and me. I spent lots and lots of time learning about this and getting informed. You, obviously have been listening to a bunch of mouths that know nothing and spew forth stupidity. GET THE FACTS JACK! Then come back here and prove your point. I dare you!

    Want some facts?  There are many but I will give you a few hints not too far over your heads so you will hopefully understand.

    What is causing our climate change is the depletion of the ozone layer. Anyone know what that is?
    Come back and tell me. Then after you learn about that, find out what is causing the depletion. I’m dying to tell you but I would rather you educate yourselves first. Has anyone even heard about how the iceburgs are melting at both polars? Do you know what this means for our oceans and how it will affect our coastal cities? Some communities in Alaska, have already fallen, whole communities, people who had lived there for centuries, have lost their ancestral homes. The polar bear is losing its home. They are drowning because their ice caps that they are used to fishing off of are disappearing. Sea Lions, Walrusses, Penguins and many other sealife are losing their homes too.

    Parts of Antartica broke off and floated all the way to the New Zealand waters just this past year. Caused by liberals? Duh! GET THE FACTS!!! Get informed. Don’t make stupid statements and keep it a political thing. THIS IS OUR PLANET PEOPLE!!! Do you give a sh*t?  Maybe swearing and freaking out is the only way to get people’s attention that we need to do something to save our planet and it will take ALL of us, not Al Gore, not the liberals, not the scientists, but ALL of us.

    Get the facts. Stop accusing. Listen and the Speak out!!! Insult me all you want. I could care less if a bunch of useless morons with no facts throws sticks at me and I bet Al Gore doesn’t either. But if we don’t want the Atlantic seaboard underwater by 2020 we better start doing something now. I don’t know about you but that is in MY lifetime and I give a sh*t.

    Get the facts Jack. You obviously do not know about a whole village in North Alaska that fell apart due to climate change. These people had lived there for 200 years and lost their ancestral homes. polar bears are losing their habitats as well as other sealife. You guys just open your mouth and remove all doubt.

    “The strategy of people with a political agenda to avoid this issue is to say there is so much to study way upstream here that we can’t even being to discuss impacts and response strategies,” says Piltz. “There’s too much uncertainty. It’s not the climate scientists that are saying that, it’s the lawyers and politicians.” This is from NASA scientist

    Go ask the people of Newtok, Alaska, who lost their ancestral homes due to global warming just recently and had to relocate and they will tell you what they think.

    The 340 residents of Newtok, Alaska will soon be among the first “climate refugees” in the United States. Global warming has battered the tiny coastal town: As average yearly temperatures rise, coastal ice shelves melt as does the permafrost on which the town sits.  The Ninglick River has overtaken the town as the ground level simultaneously sinks [Backpacker blog]. As a result, the town’s scattered buildings are connected by a network of boardwalks across the mud.
    With the forces of nature arrayed against them, the townspeople have now voted to relocate their town to a new site nine miles inland, on higher ground by the river. “We are seeing the erosion, flooding and sinking of our village right now,” said Stanley Tom, a Yup’ik Eskimo and tribal administrator for the Newtok Traditional Council…. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has estimated that moving Newtok could cost $130 million. Twenty-six other Alaskan villages are in immediate danger, with an additional 60 considered under threat in the next decade, according to the corps [CNN].
    Architects have already designed an evacuation shelter to be built at the site of the new town, and the U.S. military will build a temporary road to the shelter locale this summer. The shelter will have wood-heated steam baths, a gravity-fed sewer system and a permafrost-chilled cellar. Construction of the 8,500-square-foot shelter could begin next year…. The shelter, designed like a huge Quonset hut with a boxy wing on one side, will be a critical step for residents looking for a way to leave their village [The Arctic Sounder].
    The townspeople’s decision illustrates global warming’s impact on people living near the Arctic. While the  Yup’ik Eskimos of Newtok were making their decision, the first Indigenous Peoples’ Global Summit was taking place in Anchorage, Alaska, with representatives from 80 nations on hand to discuss how global warming is affecting their communities. Indigenous people are among those contributing least to the worsening problem of greenhouse gases and climate change, said Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, president of the United Nations General Assembly. However, he said they are the first to feel the impacts of climate change

    I actually saw this! Comprendo? This is as real as it gets folks! They are survivors of this. NOT SCIENTISTS, NOT LIBERALS, NOT AL GORE! Once again, stupidity talks with no facts. You people love to point fingers to conspiracies, Al Gore making millions, scientists hoaxes, liberals, but in all you leave out the facts. There are people losing their villages in Alaska, polar bears and other sealife losing their ice caps.

    Other countries leaders are actually heading the warning because there is no political agenda to keep the information from reaching them correctly.

    The newly elected president of the Maldives, the island chain south of India, says his country must start saving up money to buy a new homeland, in case global warming causes sea levels to rise so much that the waves submerge the archipelago entirely. Says Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed: “We can do nothing to stop climate change on our own and so we have to buy land elsewhere. It’s an insurance policy for the worst possible outcome…. We do not want to leave the Maldives, but we also do not want to be climate refugees living in tents for decades,” he said [The Guardian].
    The Maldives are the lowest-lying nation on the planet: most of the islands are only a few feet above sea level, and the highest point, in the capital city of Malé, is about seven feet above sea level. But the white sandy beaches are a major tourist attraction bringing in billions of dollars every year…. Mr Nasheed’s plan is to create a “sovereign wealth fund” using tourism revenues to buy land so that future generations will have somewhere to rebuild their lives if they have to leave. He wants somewhere within the region, where the culture is similar – possibly India or Sri Lanka [BBC News]. However, Nasheed also mentioned Australia as a possibility, because of the vast swaths of unoccupied land on that continent.
    Sea levels around the Maldives have already risen about eight inches over the last century, and the United Nations has warned that the ocean may rise an additional two feet by 2100 as a result of global warming. Government officials have warned that even small increases in the future could force many of the 300,000 islanders to flee. Environmentalists say the issue raises the question of what rights citizens have if their homeland no longer exists. “It’s an unprecedented wake-up call,” said [climate change activist] Tom Picken…. “The Maldives is left to fend for itself. It is a victim of climate change caused by rich countries” [The Guardian].
    The government isn’t planning to abandon the islands precipitously; a spokesman says the nation will seek international help to strengthen the natural barriers of the Maldives’ coral reefs, and to create artificial sections of reef as a buffer against rising seas. It has also pledged to introduce solar power and seek foreign investment in other alternative energy technologies. But like the previous government, Mr Nasheed has no plans to cut the polluting long-haul flights on which tourism depends. Instead, his Maldivian Democratic party says it will introduce corporate taxation in the industry as part of a raft of fiscal reforms [Financial Times].

    Quit judging and bashing. Get the facts and help save the planet. It takes ALL of us!

    Now Now keep saying it may help you after the GOP has made us a 3rd world country. The entire idea that  we can do whatever we want pollute whatever we want and it will have no impact is ludicrous. Although I believe factory farming and deforestation have a more adverse effect on the planet than driving a Hummer. It’s ideologues with their strict adherence to a philosophy that greed is the best element of a person that will cause our planet to be unlivable and with closest “Goldilocks” planet 350,000 years a way traveling at the speed if voyager, we should try to make this one sustain us as long as possible. If that means turning down the thermostat, insulating better, car pooling or mass transit, cfl lights, recycling ,etc. than as a people we should be able to make these sacrifices otherwise if as the GOP says “we can’t, it’s too hard, it will hurt my billionaire butt buddies” we truly don’t deserve this planet

    Little Al, it is time to pick up your toys and go to your room.  It is understood that you are upset because of the news that many of the reports on: Global Cooling, then Global Warming, and now Global Climate Change came out to show the the scientists on your “pro” side were altering the figures for numerous reasons, least of which is the ability to obtain grants.  Let us not forget that if the reports that support your “Carbon Tax Credit” fraud scheme, which is primarily setup to ‘Feather Your Own Nest”.  You are so obvious it is incredible, but I give you credit, you have been able to fool some of the people some of the time!  The American finally got you number and you had to move to England so you could prompte you fraud over there.  By the way, I have been in the banking and financial arena for 50 years and when I say that you are a FRAUD, I go back to the saying that: “IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK, QUACKS LIKE A DUCK, AND WALKS LIKE A DUCK, IT MUST BE A DUCK!”

    Al Gore Lies About NAFTA while Ross Perot Warned us against it on Larry King

    Al Gore is trying
    to hype up the warming bs to new levels, intended, naturally, to scare
    the panties off the sheeple, and force them to allow us to continue to
    pay for the right to breath the freaking air. I’d like to put my carbon
    footprint on Al’s globalist-puppet posterior, but alas, I am a pacifist,
    even to that degree. Please share this site with your Greenish friends,
    as they want so badly to believe this crap that they ignore science, in
    order to follow the fear pipers down the trail to further enslavement
    of the masses.

    The world is  4.5 billion years old and we’re basing climate change on 100 years of data!  That is BS.

  • Snake5875

    ice ages, with polar core samples, fossilized trees,etc. we have 4.5 billion years of data that we have been collecting and analyzing

  • Snake5875

    you  watch to much faux news and read books by idiots
     Al Gore was pivotal in pushing Mosaic which brought about the WWW without which we would be still be on a text only internet. Right wing sociopaths that have a single goal of making money no matter what it does to the planet have an agenda also, to turn the USA into a giant toilet bowl. To say we have no impact on this ecosystem no matter what we do and immediately attack anyone who says we should act intelligently and be good stewards of this planet says a lot more about the attacker than the person being attacked. It is our duty to control the sources of all pollution, clean up what we can, and make having a thriving planet our number one priority. If not we don’t deserve this planet and will get the slow painful extinction we ran so blindly into.

    By the way, I just paiid $21.87 for an i P a d 2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $657 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, BidsFirst.com

    97% of the world’s climate scientists wouldn’t be climate scientists if they didn’t agree with global warming.

    97% of used-car salesmen agree that they have just the right car for you.

    I don’t watch television. I’m not right wing, I’m an atheist politically.  I never said we don’t impact our ecosystem, don’t ASSume and try to put words in my mouth. Al Gore is a poor little rich boy who owns most of the stock in Occidental Petroleum and pollutes the environment more than you or I, and wants to make money off of sheeple who buy his misinformation.

    Al Gore is despicable money grubbing liar; pure and simple. We were saved from this blowharded wastrel  by Bush, who wasn’t perfect, and then we end up with this charlatan Obama. The epitome of hypocrisy par excellence’ in both cases.

    One of the major prolonged of climate change admitted that his finds were spurious. Gore used him over and over again to support fallacious positions that have made him a multiple-millionaire who carbon footprint is many times larger than the average citizen who cannot fly corporate jets as he does.

    Gore is one of  people who knows how you are supposed to act hence “an inconvenient truth” but would rather others did most of sacrificing which doesn’t make global cyclic climate change a fraud it only makes him a hypocrite that would rather pay another to reduce their carbon footprint so it reduces his. Scientist have known about greenhouse gases for decades so it wasn’t Gore  who thought of it he is just trying to get others less. I think he is probably not the best spokesman but if anyone can change our current way of energy creation and usage I would welcome it as remaining on the road we are on now is the road to ruin just as Helium is running out so will oil and all non renewable resources and the sooner we face it and change the way we live the better.

    I am pleased to see that a lot of the people posting here are at least skeptical about global warming. Not a lot of blind sheeple on this page. I’ve followed the topic in the news from day one and I’ve heard a few presentations by important skeptics. I haven’t seen anyone here mention the news that the team who reported on the deaths of polar bears is now being investigated with some early incriminating details released. One of the peer reviewers was one of the scientists’ girlfriends for instance.

    The U.N. with Agenda 21 and the U.S. government have really taken this thing too far with very little proof that earth is warming, or that it’s anthropogenic. Fear mongering and sensationalism is an easy way for governments to expand and careers to blossom.

    Al Gore is such a stoopid liar, I’ve heard the tape, and the main things he’s concerned about are the changing tide of evidence and support. But I can even just read his words and tell that he is lying. It’s bullshit! it’s bullshit! it’s bullshit! There go his millions of dollars invested in carbon credit trading and green technologies, all wilting brown on the vine!

    There are youtube videos of him saying many different times that the most recent of the “climategate” emails were ten years old, a very blatant lie because it’s easily seen that the most recent were only a few months old. He shakes his head no while saying it on every occasion,  a commonly reported self-conscious acknowledgement when someone is lying. If he were going to tell the same freaking lie over, and over, and over, you’d think he would have learned to make it look credible!

    97%, really?    Did you know that 84% of all statistics are made up including the one I just used.  35,000 Scientist, Doctorates, other levels of education signed a petition stating that they doubt that global warming is man made.  Most historian believe that the short (300 years) warming period during the middle ages was warmer than modern level and man’s carbon footprint was almost invisable.

    4. There is NO way to prove that mankind is the cause of global warming because nature is so unpredictable.

    Hard to believe a person nowadays still thinks mankind is not contributing to global warming. Look around you, look at China, look at how much crap is still being spewed from factories, mills etc every minute of the day. I may not believe all that’s been said about global warming but I sure do believe mankind has been contributing to it for a long time. Your comment must mean you’re of the thought that mankind can just go on forever burning whatever they wish, chucking garbage, much of it chemical laden or paint, into
    the oceans & lakes, dumping old appliances & furniture in brush & tree land etc.  In other words, do as you wish and everyone else do as they wish cause is sure isn’t mankind that’s causing any problems.
     

    Grow up. If mankind doesn’t do thier part to take steps in curtailing the amount of trash they discard, the polutants they pour, out or spew into the atmosphere, the earth will not be a very pleasant place to be in the not far future. If in fact it still exists.

    Bill
    Clinton, Al Gore & Senator Obama supported Prop. 87, a GMO corn ethanol
    welfare program.

    Bill, Al have changed opinion on the ethanol mandate, I wonder if Obama will
    make this the time for CHANGE?

    I support a waiver of the ethanol mandate, voluntary use of ethanol in my gas.

    Federal ethanol policy increases Government motors oil use and Big oil profit.

     

    It is
    reported that today California is using Brazil sugar cane ethanol at $0.16 per
    gal increase over using GMO corn fuel ethanol. In this game the cars and trucks
    get to pay and Big oil profits are the result that may be ready for change.

     

    We do NOT
    support AB 523 or SB 1396 unless the ethanol mandate is changed to voluntary
    ethanol in our gas.

     

    Folks that
    pay more at the pump for less from Cars, trucks, food, water & air need
    better, it is time.

     

    The car tax
    of AB 118 Nunez is just a simple Big oil welfare program, AAA questioned the
    policy and some folks still agree.

     

    AB 523
    & SB 1326 are just a short put (waiver) from better results.
