You just KNOW.....

Someone....

Somewhere....

.... is gonna tax our dollars for global warming/cooling...

Carbon footprint tax. :rolleyes:

I will have to put my carbon foot up their....:booty:


:D

I am now holding my head in shame.

When will it be enough? How much industry do these people want destroyed?

Do they want us to run around in loin clothes again?

Thanks Will for that, I was not aware.



People.... lets think about this issue for one good solid minute. Get a real foothold of it in your mind.

Now.....

Just remember that the face of this issue....

is AL GORE.

Do I have to say more? Really? Do I? :dunno:

NINE CONVENIENT UNTRUTHS AS RULED BY THE BRITISH HIGH COURT

Untruth 1

Gore says: A sea-level rise of up to seven metres will be caused by melting of either West Antarctic or Greenland ice cap in the near future. Cities such as Beijing, Calcutta and Manhattan would be devastated.

Judge says: “This is distinctly alarmist, and part of Mr. Gore’s ‘wake-up call.’ It is common ground that if indeed Greenland melted, it would release this amount of water, but only after, and over, millennia, so that the Armageddon scenario he predicts, insofar as it suggests that sea-level rises of seven metres might occur in the immediate future, is not in line with the scientific consensus.”

Untruth 2

Gore says: Low lying inhabited Pacific atolls are being inundated because of anthropogenic global warming. “That’s why the citizens of these Pacific nations have all had to evacuate to New Zealand.”

Judge says: “There is no evidence of any such evacuation having yet happened.”

Untruth 3

Gore says: The shutting down of the “Ocean Conveyor” would lead to another ice age.

Judge says: “According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, it is very unlikely that the Ocean Conveyor (an ocean current known technically as the Meridional Overturning Circulation or thermohaline circulation) will shut down in the future, though it is considered likely that thermohaline circulation may slow down.”

Untruth 4

Gore says: Two graphs relating to a period of 650,000 years, one showing rise in CO2 and one showing rise in temperature, show an exact fit.

Judge says: “Although there is general scientific agreement that there is a connection, the two graphs do not establish what Mr. Gore asserts.”

Untruth 5

Gore says: The disappearance of snow on Mt. Kilimanjaro is expressly attributable to global warming.

Judge says: “The scientific consensus is that it cannot be established that the recession of snows on Mt. Kilimanjaro is mainly attributable to human-induced climate change.”

Untruth 6

Gore says: The drying up of Lake Chad is a prime example of a catastrophic result of global warming.

Judge says: “It is generally accepted that the evidence remains insufficient to establish such an attribution.”

Untruth 7

Gore says: Hurricane Katrina and the consequent devastation in New Orleans is due to global warming.

Judge says: “It is common ground that there is insufficient evidence to show that.”

Untruth 8

Gore says: Polar bears have drowned swimming long distances to find ice.

Judge says: “The only scientific study that either side before me can find is one which indicates that four polar bears have recently been found drowned because of a storm.”

Untruth 9

Gore says: Coral reefs are bleaching because of global warming.

Judge says: “The actual scientific view, as recorded in the IPCC report, is that, if the temperature were to rise by 1-3 degrees centigrade, there would be increased coral bleaching and widespread coral mortality, unless corals could adapt or acclimatize.”

A Layman’s Guide to Anthropogenic (Man-Made) Global Warming

Using simple math, we see that if temperatures have risen 0.5C due to 36% of a doubling, we might expect them to rise by 1.39C for a full doubling to 0.056% of the atmosphere. But this assumes that the rise is linear — but we already said (and no one denies) that it is in fact a diminishing return relationship. Using a truer form of the curve, a 0.5C historic rise for 36% of a doubling implies a full doubling would raise temperatures by about 1C, or about 0.5C more than we have seen to date. Based on empirical evidence, we would then expect a rise of CO2 concentrations to 0.056% (a level we might expect between the years 2070 and 2100) to increase world temperatures another 0.5C. This means that the magnitude of global warming in the next century might be about what we have seen (and apparently survived) since 1940.



“It would seem that men and women need a common motivation, namely a common adversary, to organize and act together in the vacuum such as motivation seemed to have ceased to exist or have yet to be found. The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor…

Bring the divided nation together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose…

Democracy will be made to seem responsible for the lagging economy, the scarcity and uncertainties. The very concept of democracy could then be brought into question and allow for the seizure of power by extremists of one brand or the other…

In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. The real enemy then is humanity itself.”

In a case of something like this, I believe in a very simple creed:

"All things being equal, the simplest explanation is usually right"

Soo all this drastic temperature/weather change happened during these last decades? Sorta coincides with the industrial revolution and humankind polluting the earth?

Well common sense goes both ways on that one. If it's manmade.. stop the pollution.
If it's natural.. why SHOULDNT we stop the pollution? You seriously think it's okay to save a few coins.. maybe a few dollars by belching smoke into the air we breathe? That's just unacceptable. Make YOU guys spend a few weeks in Southern California when a smog day is in FULL effect. Send you to Mexico City or Tokyo during a mask day. Living in some of these polluted cities is the same as smoking a pack a day. But dont let me spout common sense, skip the global warming shpiel and just go check out pollution levels around the globe. Cutting the poison in the air is NEVER a bad thing, no matter what you believe about the earth.

This is true...clean air etc is accepted as a good thing, and if China, Mexico, and many new developing countries would also agree we'd make a lot more progress.
Global Warming is like Killer Marijuana; make up a body of obvious lies, and as they are realized there goes credibility on all the other issues that are espoused by, in this case, government.
No one is for polution, but who wants to do without most of what we have just like that...and throwing in Global Warming is a recipe for losing the attention of the common folk who ultimately decide what is done and when.

If it wasn't for the fact that the consequences are dire for everybody, I would almost be content to sit back and when the approaching train wreck finally hits laugh at all the "Global Warming isn't that big of a deal" people as they become thought of as the next Flat Earth Society and are cursed by future generations for what they have done. It seems like despite ridiculous amount of evidence suggesting it, and the support of the vast majority of scientist in the world, that some people have to search for any little thing to try and convince themselves it’s not true, because they don’t want to deal with the fact that the truth of the matter might be something they don’t like.

I'm too lazy to set a usertitle.
I also wonder how they came up with the top global warming supporters. Not only is something like that completely subjective, the fact they just list celebrities is pretty obviously "cherry picking". They just get more focus like celebrities do in pretty much every matter. Do people that think global warming is happening get to put Rush as the foremost world authority on the side of it all being some scam in return?

Of course you would also have to assume nobody that has signed that list has changed their mind since 1998 (which I don't doubt many of them have), that they are all valid and not made up(doubtful), and that if an accurate list like that was made of people that believe that global warming is happening and is a major problem their numbers wouldn’t just drown out that.
