Most people don't seem to understand this...

Global warming is happening. However, we are not causing it. When someone says, "global warming isn't real," they don't mean that it's not getting hot. They just mean that the theory behind it isn't true. They just don't know how to express it.

I've grown up environmentally friendly. I recycle, compost, turn off my lights and appliances. I conserve my things, the only electric entertainment I have is an mp3 player and this computer. I don't buy useless junk. I do not promote pollution, I do not litter. I don't mind saving a buck, I've been doing it all my life - before we "figured out" that we were killing ourselves. This is more than what can be said for the bulk of you.

- Liberalism has infiltrated into schools, media, and the minds of your parents.
- It uses these guilt trip techniques just to win arguments. Who can say no to these people with their bleeding hearts and sob stories about polar bears and malaria? Who can stand up when you will be shunned for doing so?
- This will not happen, Polar bears have been around for a long time, they have survived times when it has been hotter than now (oh yes, it has been hotter before, even hotter than what we are "expected" to reach). And the malaria threat is from mosquitoes. However the largest concentration of mosquitoes is actually in the arctic tundra.
- This is not about reducing emissions, reusing your diapers, and recycling. It is about controlling money, power, and people. A carbon tax will be made mandatory. And since your TV made you feel so bad, you will be happy to pay for it. And you, and your CHILDREN and your CHILDREN'S CHILDREN will have to pay it (what?.. it swayed your opinion before).
- Government wants to control you. Some want it to be illegal to smoke in your OWN home. "If we continue at this rate," the government will be giving rationed electricity, rationed water, limits on how much land you can buy, and limits on how much you can own.

Some quick facts:
- The temperature is rising on other planets as well.
- From the 40's-70's the temperature was going down. BUT, there was more pollution than ever before simply because of WWII. In the 70's the temperature started to rise again, even though there was massive reductions of emissions (even though it was the 70's there wasn't enough pot smoke to make a difference).
- The medieval ages were hotter than today's.

If human industrialization and pollution/emissions drives temperature then how did the ice ages end?

I don't want to write much more. Peace.

so ur saying just he says its a scam and points out a few evidence points its true?

what about the guy who thought 9/11 was a conspiracy, and did some random math things to equal 911 and did some oragomi with American money and found stuff on them about the towers, that means 9/11 was a conspiracy? think before you speak

Global Warming is real -.-

COMMENTS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING

By John Coleman

it is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM.

Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data back in the late 1990's to create an allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental wacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the "research" to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Environmental extremist, notable politicians among them then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild "scientific" scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda.

Now their ridicules manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmental conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minutes documentary segment.

I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party.

However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you "believe in." It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a nonevent, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won't believe me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.

I suspect you might like to say to me, "John, look the research that supports the case for global warming was done by research scientists; people with PH D's in Meteorology. They are employed by major universities and important research institutions. Their work has been reviewed by other scientists with PH D's. They have to know a lot more about it than you do. Come on, John, get with it. The experts say our pollution has created a strong and increasing greenhouse effect and a rapid, out of control global warming is underway that will sky rocket temperatures, destroy agriculture, melt the ice caps, flood the coastlines and end life as we know it. How can you dissent from this crisis? You must be a bit nutty."

Allow me, please, to explain how I think this all came about. Our universities have become somewhat isolated from the rest of us. There is a culture and attitudes and values and pressures on campus that are very different. I know this group well. My father and my older brother were both PHD-University types. I was raised in the university culture. Any person who spends a decade at a university obtaining a PHD in Meteorology and become a research scientist, more likely than not, becomes a part of that single minded culture. They all look abobbae at the rest of us, certain of their superiority. They respect government and disrespect business, particularly big business. They are environmentalists above all else.

And, there is something else. These scientists know that if they do research and results are in no way alarming, their research will gather dust on the shelf and their research careers will languish. But if they do research that sounds alarms, they will become well known and respected and receive scholarly awards and, very importantly, more research dollars will come flooding their way.

So when these researchers did climate change studies in the late 90's they were eager to produce findings that would be important and be widely noticed and trigger more research funding. It was easy for them to manipulate the data to come up with the results they wanted to make headlines and at the same time drive their environmental agendas. Then their like minded PHD colleagues reviewed their work and hastened to endorse it without question.

There were a few who didn't fit the mold. They did ask questions and raised objections. They did research with contradictory results. The environmental elitists berated them brushed their studies aside.

I have learned since the Ice Age is coming scare in the 1970's to always be a skeptic about research. In the case of global warming, I didn't accept media accounts. Instead I read dozens of the scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct when I assure you there is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. It is all a scam, the result of bad science.

I am not alone in this assessment. There are hundreds of other meteorologists, many of them PH D's, who are as certain as I am that this global warming frenzy is based on bad science and is not valid.

I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped.

The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway.

I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend.

theres difference with the earth getting colder and the earth getting warmer -.-
