The myth that is global warming

Global warming is baloney. I don't know if Gore actually believed it or not, so won't say anything about that other than if he really believed it, then we can't rag on him too much. We should pity him instead, regardless of his love of drama. Proponents of global warming don't know when to quit. Fact: The last 15 years have been cooler, not warmer. Fact: We don't have any reliable records of temperatures of the earth over 150 years old (in case you didn't realize, that's a very tiny slice of time on which to base a theory). Fact: From what we do know, the earth has gone through temperature cycles over and over again. Convoluted explanations of "why" snow and cold weather proves global warming just doesn't compute, I don't care what kind of false logic is used. Climate change, maybe. Global warming,

Global warming is not a myth, and its true that climatic changes are caused by global warming. Why is our city becoming hotter every year, why rainfall become less. Its all because of global warming. disintegration of ice berg, rise of sea level etc are things that have occur due to global warming which led to changes in climatic condition. If you are in metropolitan city just watch the sky above you, you will notice a very unpleasant smoke like cloud. What is causing that and what will be the consequences? Its definitely cause by our pollution including carbon. I admire Al Gore for his works, people like Leo, they have work for the cause of human race.

'Global warming' is very much a fact of life. Al Gore has been shown guilty of serving up some very dodgy statistics to support his case. I don't know whether he has 'made millions from his carbon credits'. Frankly, I doubt it. So what is your justification for your statement that "global warming is beginning to fall apart"? You don't give any evidence at all. You simply throw out the statement ... and it means NOTHING! There is good and verifiable evidence that we are probably entering a 'warm' phase. The very swift reduction in ice-caps globally is one; the recent snowfalls in Europe and the US are another (excessive precipitation, whether as rain or snow, is just one indication of generally higher temperatures globally.) Whether these changes are partly or at all due to human intervention is, admittedly, in dispute but it cannot be denied that the average global temperature has risen steadily since we began to burn fossil fuels and to destroy forests. It is undoubtedly true that the 'Industrial Revolution' has had an effect. It really is up to us, individually and as nations, to recognise this and to try to redress the balance. If you think that we cannot change things or that it is too late, then you are the one who is fooled ... by yourself and your ignorance and self-satisfaction. Never mind your politicians: look at the evidence for yourself and understand that the more gas and plastics you use, the more trees you cause to be cut down, the less that you demonstrate that you care about the planet you (and all of us) live on.

I don't care if Al Gore keeps the money, the Nobel peace prize, or the Oscar. Losing his money wouldn't help me financially and the Nobel peace prize and Oscar have become jokes. What pleases me about global warming beginning to fall apart is that the Kyoto Treaty and the Copenhagen Accord no longer have a leg to stand on. Without the science to flim flam wealthier nations into believing it's all their fault, we shouldn't be taken to the financial cleaners by the United Nations whose goal is to be all the money and power.

it has been jumped all over by both sides in your country. with the most ridiculous 'science' i have ever seen coming from both. some of it makes shampoo adverts look convincing. my view is that global warming is almost certainly linked to human activity, although what exactly the results will be is unknown. exaggerating or underplaying them however is not a good idea. also carbon emissions have other effects, such as ocean acidification and air pollution.

...Hey there Justathought12, a lot of discussion has gone on about global warming both pro and con. There is one thing that I have not heard talked about too much, the global warming premise is not that all temperatures will be rising, there will be slowly warming temperatures as I understand it. But the real deal is again, as I understand it, that cold areas will be getting colder and warm areas will be getting warmer. The weather patterns that you see in front of your face are changing, this is freaking real. Down south the states are fighting over water rights because their water is drying up. All over the United States, water is slowly drying up as well, everybody laugh now, but something had better be done and done quickly, and honestly I think it is too late, or there will be terrible feuds going on over the right to water. Not funny. Just saw a report that all states except Hawaii had a sprinkling of snow this year, all states. So everybody keep laughing at the "myth" that is changing our planet and putting our lives in jeopardy. Take it easy.

One person's prosperity is the other's despairity! This is the strict law of Nature. A rich person is only made of sharing poverty among many persons as well as destruction to the environment! The present 'Global Warming' crisis is the result of so many rich persons all around the globe those have destroyed this living planet earth's life-supporting systems to a greater extent and for this, the entire bio-sphere is at risk now! To prevent or minimize the disasterous effects of global warming, we all must focus at the process of 'Sustainable Development', while planning for industrialization and exploring natural resources! Thanks for this nice topic and have a good day!!

Global warming is not, and was not a myth. It just wasn't presented in the right porportion. Other than global warming, there are other issues of global 'interests' that should be considered these days... What about animal races going extinct? What about pollution? What about viruses and bacterias moving from one continent to another due to our ability to cross the oceans? Al gore may have made money out of it, but he wasn't wrong with MOST of his statements. If we will not take responsibility now, and won't fix our past mistakes- there will be no way to avoid the results. Just my two cents...
