Global Warming

I'm curious...why would you choose to believe these 2, and not the other thousands who say there's no question about it? Sounds like denial to me.

This kind of thinking has been going on for decades.

Remember auto emissions, the hydrocarbons, then tetraethylead, then seatbelts, smoking.. etc etc. There have always been deniers (including the heads of tobacco companies) even in court. Denial is always present, even when irrefutable evidence is right in front of your face.

Now that we are all in the global deep-freeze, I wonder if they'll convert our air conditioners back to freeon so we'll all have to buy new air conditioners now! After all... who needs air conditioning when it's 20 degrees below zero!

Don't confuse the weather with climate change.

lets see, those peer reviews would be done by other climate scientists who of course are not biased in the least.

It is amazing how small a picture that some people have of the world. They think that because it is cold where they are that global warming is a hoax. They don't know and probably don't want to know that right now in Fairbanks it is 27 degrees.

. . . And in Barrow it is 31

Fact is only relevant if the facts fit one's desired outcome! Otherwise, fact is to be ignored and berated as lies. Well said 2oldmen.
In this regard, have a look at my signature. :(

Yeah, good one!

Hi 2oldman,

Careful, we would not want to learn from this. Far better to keep an Ostrich approach to Global Climate change.

The "global warming" is in the areas of the world that are normally cold, such as the poles. Thus, melting ice raising the sea levels.

While the poles are warming the temperate zones are cooling. Thus the polar vortex we hear often mentioned.

Bottom line is major weather changes for our planet, mostly caused by man.

However. the chicken littles don't help them selves with wild predictions that don't come true. Like the "scientist" that told Nixion that due to global warming. Manhattan Island would be 3 feet under water by the year 2000. Uh. where is the water? Also. This year the polar ice is wider, and thicker than it was just 2 years ago. Al Gore said it would be gone. What about the predictions of warming given the fact that the earth has not warmed even a tiny bit in the last 20 years.

While I agree the planet's climate is in a continual change as it goes thru it's normal cycles. Pretty sure that people don't have anything to do with it, can't stop it, or hurry it along. And I guess IF you have to blame a living animal. Your "scientist" say the the main cause of "climate change" is COW FARTS.

Supposed to get down into the 30s here in North Florida tonight.

I'm no scientist, so my view on global warming is this - two world renowned meteorologists say that there's no proof of manmade global warming, it's good enough for me. John Coleman, co-founder of the weather channel and William Gray, the scientist that the US has used to do hurricane predictions since the 80s say it ain't so - it's good enough for me.

John Coleman is not a scientist. For more info, click Snopes: John Coleman "refutes" global warming.

Thank you, Aprilwhine. I didn't know that. I was basing my comments on something I read on a blog. It's a bad practice and I should have known better.
