Global warming isn't just a myth. It's a flagrant LIE.

Liberals cling to this nonsense because it is politically beneficial for them to do so. If they can pass their green agenda, it will result in an unprecedented governmental power grab.

Right, and all those scientists, thousands of 'em, are in on the conspiracy because .... because ... well, there must be a reason.
 
Global warming is not a myth. The planet is in a warming cycle (despite immediate lack of warming and possible slight cooling). We will most likely see warming this century. Humans do have an impact on our environment and our climate.

That said, nobody knows for sure what our impact is. The current state of climate science is riddled with corruption, bad science and alarmist politics that has polluted the issue beyond reason. It is for that reason that our impact on climate change has likely been overstated.

In time we will learn more about our environment and how we influence climate patterns on this planet. Unfortunately the truth will likely be delayed by political agendas and unethical science.

Exactly. There's no denying that we are going through a climate change. The facts are there.

However, the cause of the change is certainly a subject for reasonable debate.

It bugs the hell out of me how people can deny obvious science when it disagrees with their political views. (The same goes for evolution.) These people never challenge any other science. You never see them arguing against the theory of gravity or continental drift. The fact is that only science which challenges a political or religious view gets questioned to this degree.
 
Global warming is not a myth, however AGW is. Right now they predict we are entering a 20-30 year cold cycle. Humans aren't causing the earth to warm, it's all lies meant to increase government and cripple nations from prospering.

Then the aliens from area 51 who planned 9/11 will join with the Illuminati to shoot control waves into our minds.

Maybe this thread should be moved to the conspiracy board?
 
8-6 and one anonymous which does not count..........Pretty good so far........a couple of months ago it was heavy in favor of global warming......It is good to see a few people waking up and realizing if there is any global warming it is not man made but a natural change.........

Science shows AGW is false, we don't even have a complete understanding of how the greenhouse effect exactly works. But speaking of aliens, I guess Martians have been emitting CO2 as well because their planet has experienced some warming as well. If you need some proof, here is a good read on how AGW is false.

Personally, I am on the fence about this issue and am not convinced either way, however the point is that snow does not support or deny this theory, it is not a linear progression of temperatures like many seem to expect. I think if people can understand this theory a little better, than maybe the debate will flow more smoothly.

I r haz proofz too. Anyone can claim anything, but the proof correlates with the solar cycle and not carbon emissions. Graph wars are cool :D Just tryin' to add some humor.

You are right it that things aren't linear, but many of the climate scientists predicted warming doom and gloom talking like the earth will burn soon. When things started cooling they blamed that on AGW as well. I don't understand all science 100%, but it seems as if they tried to scare us into buying their theory of AGW and when the cooling started they blamed it on emissions as well. Most facts point to the solar cycle being the climate driver, other planets like Mars have risen in temperature similar to earth. Science now also predicts a small 20-30 year mini ice age. To me I see many special interests and much to gain by certain individuals and industries by having AGW be true.

Global warming has certainly happened in the past, so we can't call it a myth.

Whether it's happening now, and if so, what the causes are, is still up in the air.
 
Since you never here the sun mentioned or the axis of the earth or any other natural aspects that could affect climate and the fact of all the fraud and corruption and lies coming out on the data. I would have to believe GW is all made up.

If it was real would scientist have to lie and manipulate the data?

If they were attempting to blame humans for it, yes.

Well, given the latest controversy of "scientists" cooking their books to make their climate data consistent with the liberal nonsense of man-made global warming, it is obvious they are in on the conspiracy. Scientists at fancy research universities and labs receive copious amounts of governmental funding to promulgate global warming hysteria, so of course they have a horse in the race. If global warming is debunked, they lose a significant amount of their funding and, in the worst cases, their jobs.

Liberals love to sneer at people who do not buy global warming and categorize them as people who are unintelligent or anti-intellectual. Since the leftist hijack of academia, everything liberals believe equate to unquestionable science, irrespective of whether there are gaping holes in their theories or not. In contrast, conservative science is argued to be axiomatically inferior irrespective of how weighty their scientific arguments are.

Watching liberals trying to brainwash people into believing that yellow is really black is rather humorous to watch. Regardless of however many sneers liberals want to direct at people who refuse to believe leftist idiocy, I know that global warming is a crock. Apparently, so does Al Gore, who despite his endless work reporting the dangers of human activity on the climate, continues to live a life manifestly antithetical to the nonsense that he preaches.

You obviously don't understand meteorology. When water is warmer, it evaporates faster. When air is warmer, it moves more, and faster. When air moves, and there is lots of evaporation, you get larger and larger storm systems. Higher temperatures (higher being relative, the ocean temperatures have only changed maybe 1 degree celsius) result in more powerful storms, and more of them.

The scale on that graph is deceiving. According to that graph, solar output has only increased .3% in the last 100 years.

Sunspot it as at a low which can cause a cooling.

Where have all the sunspots gone? | Science Buzz

Occasionally, intense magnetic activity in the Sun creates sunspots, dark regions on the surface of the Sun. Sunspot activity rises and falls roughly every 11 years – the last maximum was in 2001, and activity slowly fell off to zero by 2006.

And since then…almost nothing. Scientists had expected sunspot activity to start increasing by now, but it hasn’t. No one knows why, or when the cycle will pick up again.

Why is this important?

Sunspots, created by intense magnetic activity, are associated with solar flares, enormous streams of high-energy particles sent shooting out into the Solar System. These play havoc with satellites and other electronic communication. So, no sunspots in this case would be a good thing.

Solar flares also create the beautiful northern and southern lights. In this case, no sunspots is a bad thing.

Perhaps most important, sunspots seem to be an indicator of solar activity. And low activity can mean lower temperatures here on Earth. The Sun once went 50 years without producing any spots – from 1650 to 1700 – and these years were some of the coldest in recorded history. Today they are known as the little Ice Age.
