Al Gores inconvienient truth...

[BobTheCow]

Hell...there ae more scientists than that on Exxons payroll...

Oh come on Tuna, the IPCC scientists can't even be compared the hacks hired by oil companies and cigarette companies and the like. Number of scientists obviously isn't an indicator of legitimacy.

While I haven't read through the entire thing yet, the IPCC last month released a summary of their most recent findings and conclusions, which, surprisingly or not, are quite similar to what was concluded in their last study, published in 2001. (I just realized I'm probably going to spend a chunk of my spring break reading up on that... oh god what's wrong with me )

I dunno. I just don't buy the whole global warming thing. It's a crock if you read between the lines. I say blame the caveman for all those fires they lit. Anyone ever here of sunspots? Don't you think that they MIGHT have an impact at times...a gazillion times more than man ever could?

[BigEvil]

Bob, you have to keep something in mind: There are tons and tons of money invoved with this global warming busniness. Notice I said "Business". If someone tomorrow said "I can 100% prove that humans have NO EFFECT on the climate" they would be silenced so fast your head would spin.

This is a political issue now, not a matter of science.

Don't quote me on that number... it could be more, maybe less. I know it was in that ballpark though.

Also notice that I said "leading".

[PyRo]

Global warming is a multi billion dollar industry. If all these guys said humans weren't impacting the climate do you think they would have their over payed cushy jobs?

Oh how well I know that it is all Political. I am just laughing out loud at all the elected fools jumping on the bandwagon. Thank goodness we will have Rudy in '08!

Exactly. There is tons of money involved, and it's coming from Exxon and oil compaines trying to prove it's false.

By who?

nevermind the millions in research money being handed out to those who preach global warming

By who?

A panel of 600 of the worlds leading climatoligists(?) met in (sweden I think) a few weeks ago. Surely you heard about it. They unanimously agreed that Global Warming is being accelerated by humans.

[Mind'sEye]

You don't hear much in the news about the ADVANCING glaciers throughout the world such as those in New Zealand, Norway, Alaska, the Himalyas and Mt. Shasta, CA. Apparently they have not yet been visited by this man:

[CasingBill]

Lets not forget what they were preaching not too long ago.....

Global Cooling



and we all know that the best scientists in the world, go where the money is....ie. Exxon, Merck

[wjr]

Oh yeah, my bad. I forgot that scientists controlled the media.

[BigEvil]

By who?

By every scientist that gets grant money to research it.

As far as exxon and whomever 'trying to prove its false", so what if they are? How is what they say any more right or wrong from what anyone else is saying? No one can prove anything. Its all about who can shout the loudest. The oil companies are a prime target of the global warming Nazis. If I were them I would be trying to protect myself too.

I dont believe anything that anyone says on this matter. I make my own judgements based on what I can reason.

People as a whole are stupid and gulable. We tend to see things in relation to our lifespans. If there is an increase in the temperature of the Earth, then not only will it NOT be the first time, I also WILL NOT BE THE LAST.

Also, a volcanic eruption will spew more pollution into the air at one time than the combine totals that man has ever. Volcanos erupt all the time. Why are we still here?

There is also this great big thing nearby in space called the sun. That kinda has something to do with the climate on this planet doesnt it? It tends to be irratic sometimes.

Let the politicians spew their filth about this. Once it became an 'issue' I realized what a crock it all is. Unless we should start believing our politicians.

[BigEvil]

No, but the people who are simpathetic to their cause do. These are the same people who are anti capitalist, anti-commerce, and generally pro-socialist (these days). Everyone has an agenda. Trust no one.

Same ol' Same ol'.....just different.

Come on.. are you telling me fox news is any of those things? Surely not. But that's not to say that I'm calling CNN anti capitalist, anti-commerce, and generally pro-socialist...

And exactly. Everyone has their OWN agenda. Which would benefit CNN's agenda more? A groundbreaking story reporting how man made global warming is false, or the normal days news? Which would be better for CNN you think?

And remember... the truth is out there.
