Global Warming Truth

[ResinRat2]

I can't believe with all the evidence that people still are denying global warming.  Global warming is real people!  Do you not look at the long term charts?  Do you think the charts and data is fake?  Sure the last couple of years have been cooler, but if you look at the overall trend the earth is warming!  Has any of you non believers been on a hike to a glacier lately?  I have seen glaciers that are about 70% smaller than they were 15 years ago here in Washington state.  Why is that?  I'm sick of these Christians and far right conservatives saying that we people don't need to be responsible and take care of the environment.  How selfish is that?  Don't you care enough about the future generations or is it just too easy to say "well it won't be my problem so I don't care".

I agree with Paul and Nitinnun.

It is too bad you don't understand why we are fighting the global warming hysteria. I am doing it first of all because there is plenty of evidence, and tens of thousands of scientists agree, that global warming is affected little by human activites. The largest contributor to global warming is the sun itself, and as solar activity goes up and down, there is a rise and fall in the overall global temperature.

The other reason I fight the hysteria is because it is being used as a tool by power-hungry politicians, like Al Gore, as a means to get legislation passed that would control every aspect of our lives. By control of energy they would manipulate the economy and social structure of our society. Not just Nationally, like in the United States; but globally by use of treaties and International Organizations like the United Nations. For those of us who abhor the expansion of Governmental Power, it is frightening.

I care a great deal about future generations. I want my son to have a family and enjoy the freedoms I was able to enjoy in my life, but these ambitious politcal-Social engineers want to control their lives. Governmental Power is Force. It is oppressive and feeds on itself as it expands. It needs to be controlled and watched over carefully by the general population so scumbags like Al Gore won't be able to achieve their Iron-Grip control over every aspect of our lives; and so clueless people like Paul Lawrence don't just mindlessly give away our freedoms and protections because of hysterical scare tactics.  I also care about the environment, but I don't want it controlled through oppressive  laws and regulations. It needs to be controlled through local and state governments, where the control is less oppressive and people can watch over and control it more carefully.

I care about the environment more than you believe, but I refuse to allow Power Hungry and oppressive politicians to take away my freedoms. I can see their sleigh of hand tactics and I KNOW they are doing it just to gain control. All for Social and Political change, and for GREED.

The other thing you should take note is that if you look at the "long" term trends you notice that from the first half to the last half of this decade temps have been coming down.  You might also notice that we still have not hit temps as high as that as the middle ages, if you are looking at long term trends.  You might also notice that we still have not hit temps as high as the early 1900's, if you are looking at the long term trends.  But thanks for trying!

so how is global warming working out for you paul?

I have no idea what you're trying to insinuate. There is a reason why over 97% of active publishing climatologist now believe more than ever global warming is significantly caused by humanity.

Al Gore is one of the greatest men ever. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

hah!

sfish,
anyone who says this-you cant argue with
cannot make them see reason
youre wasting your time

Everyone is overwhelmed with your scientific methodology.      As for me, well, ambigious scientific data works.
