Global warming is a fraud. Quit giving your rights away to institutions that think they know how you should live.
Even James Randi - possibly the most skeptical man in the world - had this to say about Global Warming:

Without examining the pros and cons of any situation, we are unable to form proper opinions. I see nothing wrong with being wrong; I see disaster in being wrong and failing to correct the situation. Al Gore’s film was not perfect, and we could not have expected it to be. However, I believe that Gore was essentially correct though he made a few errors.

Global warming, in my opinion, is a danger of which we should be aware. Yes, it is being substantially augmented by Man, and that situation needs serious attention.


I am, by no means, a Global Warming 'extremist'. In fact, it rarely ever crosses my mind. However, we all should at least have some understanding of the subject. I don't think anyone has to worry about those dreaded ice caps melting anytime soon, but just throwing that out there. ;)

In my personal opinion I don't get how people can "not believe" in Global Warming. Like Jon posted, Al Gore's film had some errors in it but for the most part he was right and he had facts showing how global warming was affecting us.

We have trouble believing in it because we've been through it before.
In my lifetime we have been warned that we are going to be killed by: (partial list)
pesticides, mutating food, power lines, global FREEZING, bees, ants, Cuba, the Cold War, multiple diseases, overpopulation, and our computers.

Here's a big list of frauds scientists HATE talking about because science embraced them:
Electromagnetic Field Damage from power lines
Tasaday Cave Dwellers
Eddington's Photographic Plates
The Kinsey Report
The Cardiff Giant
Kettlewell's Moths
Lithographia Wirceburgensis
Cold Fusion
William Summerlin's mice
Dawson's Piltdown Man
The Bognanov Twins paper on the Big Bang
Perpetual Motion
Hershel's Moon People
Sokal's Social Text article
The Dangers of DDT Poison
Phrenology

Phrenology was a HUGE one that closely mirrors the mass delusion of global warming.

There's a very interesting theory that social evolution in the 20th century was mostly driven by events that DID NOT happen.

And I've read a couple articles Randi wrote about global warming, and I'm still unconvinced. Radical claims require radical evidence, and I just don't see it there.

It seems much more likely to me that global warming and it's "solutions" fit perfectly with the political agenda of certain groups that would like to use panic and fear as an open door through which they can manipulate public police to their preference.

End of rant. Back to practicing this d@#! salt pour. (Magic makes me all political)

Time out! If A Huge amount of citizens actually did that.... and turn all their stuff on at the exact same time.... Wouldn't that cause like a massively big power surge?

This just reminds me of what people say now about the whole 2012 thing. I keep hearing everyone say that the worlds gonna end 12/21/12 and everyones gonna die and blah blah blah blah blah. I dont know if any one else heard that, i doubt it though. and they talk about how theres all these events leading up to it like, global warming...economys bad...stuff like that.

We're all also going to be dead in 8 years at the most. Apparently. If bee colony decline continues at a steady rate, then they'll be extinct in 4 years. And in 4 more years, we shall all be dead, due to lack of pollinated food or something. So really, there's not much point starting to learn the classic pass now.

To believe in the policies of "global warming" you must believe three things:

1. the Earth is warming (of course)
2. humans are the cause of it
3. it will have very bad results if nothing is done

Did anybody actually notice that it is colder this year than it was last year?

See Zeedub,

People don't understand that the earth goes into climactical changes just like it did after the ice age. Also people don't understand that global warming is just another way to push a socialistic agenda by the libs. They make people believe in global warming to gain control. This new smart grid system by GE will come back to haunt us. If the government wants to shut off the resources in your house they can. I am getting worried because big brother is coming. The only thing we can hope for is another Reagan type president to undo what Obama has done.

Absolutely right, I will bet $5,000,000 to anyone who thinks the world will end in 2012.

True to dat except for the regan thing. We don't want another actor to invest money on something coming from a starwars movie;) (this is a joke btw)

So this thread has now become an argument about the existence of climate change and the apocalypse? I think it's run it's course.
No. There finally is a thread that's fun to read.

Meh myans were cave people. All this end of the world bull is getting annoying. It's been going on for hundreds of years. If anyone wants to know why end of the world is bull**** then watch penn and tellers bull**** on the end of the world.
