Description:

Issue:

If the founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman, spoke out strongly against the man-made global warming myth, would you believe him? 

"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 to create in [sic] allusion of rapid global warming." 

Belief:Many Americans would naturally assume Gore follows the green lifestyle he widely promotes, and they would be wrong. Al and Tipper, whose children all live elsewhere, reside outside Nashville in a behemoth 20-room mansion that used nearly 23,000 kilowatt-hours last August, more than twice the ANNUAL-energy usage of a typical American home. Gore's preferred mode of transportation between stops on his international publicity tour is his private jet, which spews out CO2 emissions at the rate of a small army of SUVs. (Peter W. Tilton, Harvard Crimson's editorial page) 

Al Gore doesn't even practice what he preaches.

So, do you think Global Warming is a political scam?

We live on a planet. Planets have weather systems. Weather changes. It is a cycle. This planet will be here long after we are gone. Man-made global warming is a scam.
scam scam and scam
****, you're an idiot even if this is some kind of natural global warming you cannot ignore the fact we contribute and have a negative impact on the environment! If you want to make yourself feel better go ahead but keep it to yourself don't encourage others to be ignorant and deny it exists.

Of course it is OMG, can't believe everyone is buying into this HOAX. I am the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia’s compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector.

4. The new ice cores show that in the past six global warmings over the past half a million years, the temperature rises occurred on average 800 years before the accompanying rise in atmospheric carbon. Which says something important about which was cause and which was effect.

None of these points are controversial. The alarmist scientists agree with them, though they would dispute their relevance.

The last point was known and past dispute by 2003, yet Al Gore made his movie in 2005 and presented the ice cores as the sole reason for believing that carbon emissions cause global warming. In any other political context our cynical and experienced press corps would surely have called this dishonest and widely questioned the politician’s assertion.

The world has spent $50 billion on global warming since 1990, and we have not found any actual evidence that carbon emissions cause global warming. Evidence consists of observations made by someone at some time that supports the idea that carbon emissions cause global warming. Computer models and theoretical calculations are not evidence, they are just theory. — Dr David Evans was a consultant to the Australian Greenhouse Office from 1999 to 2005.

Yes, global warming is a scam and there is no substantial proof of it other than hear say that is blindly repeated by those who have no fundamental grasp of the concept.

I have to be clear here, whether global warming is a myth or not, is besides this. What this movement is about is producing (us, (as humans, fellow animals, livers and inhabitants of and off the earth) to be more conscious of our impact on the environment. Which is also crucial to our survival and longevity, and our continuing need for resources. Once we learn how to properly, and in a regenerative form, learn how to ACT with our waste. Will we then be able to live in a balanced ecosystem of our own. The Native Americans had the ideology, if not THE philosophy of living on earth. Respect it, Don't take too much, utilize what you do have, and be thankful. That's the Message Jim!

global warming is soooo real! u will be sorry when it hits you hard! this will haoppen soon! look @ the ice caps 4 proof!

yes, its not a myth!

Globla warming would be happening whether we go green or not; all the pollution is just speeding it up. It's happened before, it'll happen again. Take a Geology class.

WOW!!!!! People religious views are not scientific fact. I believe that the bible was written as a way to teach people how to treat the world around them, other humans and themselves. I ask you this if God created the Earth don't you think that he would of made polluting this wonderful land a sin? I don't know but it seems likely to me. I agree the Planet has changed several times and will do it again it's inevitable. I believe we are speeding up that process. Not to mention the junk we put in the air and soil makes it way into our bodies. You can have that junk and pollute your Earth I however will treat my Mother earth with kindness and respect regardless if Global Warming is a myth. One thing is TRUE---> Our resources will NOT last forever your completely ignorant if you believe otherwise. That is the real reason you should reduse-reuse and recycle.

I cannot believe your remarks concerning the creation of earth. You seem informed on the tragedy of pollution, yet you show a lack intelligence as concerns the fact of God's creation. Open your eyes to the world around you. Is it possible that you can see the litter but you can't see the miracles around you that can only be explained by the love of a caring Creator? Chance can't explain the creation of this world. If it was a big bang, who pulled the switch? If swirling gasses caused the bang, what caused them to swirl? Don't be so concerned with the trash people pollute with, that you can't recognize the obvious Creator of the world you are trying to protect.

its happend before(man) and it will again with or with out us

I think people are blind to see reality and will use any excuse not too see what's really happening. Hollywood's The Highlander Source is a way for us to see what's coming. Planets are rebirthing in chaotic measures right now and the Apocalypse (calypso-potc) is nearer than we all think, if anyone wants to survive go to the mountains now and bring enough to share!!!!!!

No one should ever go against the bible of God!

screw the bible xD was it "written" that hitler would rise up and make war? was america in it? 's just a stupid book =P

however i dont think global warming exists only i use logic =P

Your ignorance is absolutely astounding as evidenced by your contemptfor something that has been proven true throughout the ages. You seem angry that someone has brought up the Bible. That usually shows through my experience that either the person hasn't read it or they aren't strong enough of character to live up to its example so they try to tear it down whenever they can. The only thing missing from your comments are foul language, the example of someone who doesn't have the intelligence to express themselves in a proper manner. If you read the Bible that you hate so much in order to prove it wrong, I dare say you will find out it is not a story but fact.

I HAVE READ ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS AND YOU ARE ALL LEAVING OUT ON IMPORTANT THING. "READ YOUR BIBLE" IF GLOBAL WARMING IS A FACTOR IT WOULD BE WRITTEN IN THE ONLY TRUE BOOK! WE HAVE HAD THESE CLIMATE CHANGES FOR YEARS BEYOND OUR FOUR FATHERS. RAINBOWS SIGNIFY THAT THE LORD WILL NOT FLOOD THE EARTH AGAIN. GENSIS. READ REVELATIONS AND YOU WILL FIND ALL THE ANSWERS. I WAS A NON BELIVER FOR MANY YEARS AND IF EVERYONE WANTS TO END THE ARGUEMENT.... READ THE GOOD BOOK!

You're a freak? Did the Bible say anything about Dinosaurs? What about nuclear bombs? The twin towers? America? The Civil War? Nike? Myspace? NO! All those things exist! The bible is not a history book, and it is not the end all beat all on scientific FACT! Quite the contrary, it is a RELIGIOUS TEXT intended to be a GUIDE FOR YOUR LIFE! It has NOTHING to do with actual fact. Most of the text is stolen from other older religions like the ancient egyptian myths and astrology. They're FABLES! GET OVER IT YOU PSYCHO!!!

You get over it Psycho! Try reading the Bible to prove it is wrong and you will find it is 100% fact. You speak like someone who has not read it. Read it and then tell me that is stolen from other documents or a fable. Look for God to diprove Him and you will find Him face to face. Take this challenge if you are strong in your beliefs. I dare you!

I think it is a scam. There are many weather changes that have been occurring over millions and millions of years and it has been going on before humans walked the earth.

It is absolutely a SCAM. These exact weather changes have been happening for 100's of years. Get the facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is absolutely a scam. Tthese same climate changes have been going on just as it's doing now for 100's of years. Get the facts!!!!!!!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OF COURSE ITS REAL!
dont listen to george bush tellin you its not so he can save a few bucks.

Hi
Global warming is not a scam. It is a veryreal catastrophe gradually altering the ecosystem. The developed countries are the real perpetrators
of the phenomenon. Overexploitation of the
natural resources, cutting down of the evergreen forests(which never regrows), altering land use
and the all enveloping pollution are only a few factors responsible for the monster. The developing countries can't be held responsible
for it as they are only beginning to enjoy
the fruit of development recently. The concept is not a figment of imagination.
the rainfall has decreased. the winter which was unbearable and long is not noticiable now. In all
the climate patterns are changing. One does'nt
have to be an expert to discern the change.

I agree with your statement 100% we all need to start thinking about our future,and our childrens future ,earth was put here for us to take care off and take pride in ,not to destroy .

We need to get together and stop global warming!

When the water rises, I won't be there to help you

I don't think it is quite as simple as real vs. scam. I think it is a good idea to limit pollution in all aspects of our life. As for climate change it is hard to say how much of an effect we have had on our world. There are scientists on both sides. We have only really been making accurate temperature measurements for the last 100 years or so. All other data is gleaned from ice cores, digging, and I guess people writing down, it was really hot to day, or I froze my ears off today. The problem with science is that it is not an exact science. It is more like a petri dish than a printout of results. They collect their data and debate it and eventually someone's data wins. I know there was a lot more snow when I was a kid, and I really don't remember as many 60 degree days in January. Do I know what that means? No. Is there anything I can do about it? Not really. Am I going to change my lifestyle? ... A wise frog once said, "It ain't easy bein green."

I agree with what your saying to a degree. It was true that there were scientists on both sides of the debate, but this has change quite a bit in the last 5 years. I think the only scientists left on the global scam side are the ones who are invested or paid very generously by the oil, automobile & similar industries that like the billions of dollars in profits, while they drag their feet dishing out piece meal funding for R&D. Sure no one can be absolute about this issue, our climate is not an exact science as there are many variables. But like my wise old parents & grandparents always said "better safe than sorry" Hybrids, solar, hydro, wind.......I want it all. This nation has all the wealth, technologies, and ability to do whatever needs to be done. The only thing we lack is motivation. I rather run my equipment on bio-diesel and pay $5/gal made right here in the USA then pay $4/gal for gas made with foreign oil. As for the amount of snow we had back in the 60s & 70s they have become a childhood memory. For now? the future is up to us. I only want to pass on to my children and their children a world that they can live in & enjoy as much as I have! Lets all not be afraid of change too, its not as hard or as scary as you think.

Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea................

It doesn't really matter if global warming is a scam or not, every person in their right frame of mind can see what man is doing to the world. Just look out your window if you live in a big city and you'll see the effects of pollution all around you. I can only speak for myself when I say that I for one want smog free skies and water that won't mutate me. Sure the climate has changed in the past and is constantly changing, but humans have the power through their actions or inactions to influence those changes in today’s times. I don't care if Gore follows the green lifestyle, that's his choice, he is only one man, it's the rest of the world that matters. Everyone can make a difference why wait for someone famous to do it first?
