Many scientists who sign on to GW receive government money for their research.

However, there are just as many scientists from these groups who say that GW is not man made. In fact the Earth has been heating and cooling in cycles for billions of years and this has been shown time and again through scientific study.

There are also a number of people in the groups you mention who say the final report does not reflect what they agreed upon and that some items were changed.

The fact is there is NO evidence that was obtained by using the scientific method that shows GW is man made.

Yes, the Earth is warming as it has about every 1500 years since long before man was here. There is evidence of GW on Mars. Care to explain how man caused that?

It makes NO sense to spend billions of dollars on something that the scientific community does not have consensus on. It does not make sense to sign on to something or spend money when it will make no difference.

You might have a better argument if the conference on GW in Bali did not have a gazillion people who all flew there in private jets. Even they know it is BS.

I will never agree to spending money for this. 30 years ago it was the ice age and Ozone hole. The hole is the same size or smaller and we are not in an ice age.

Besides, none of these scientists you mentioned can tell us what the weather will be next week or what affect it will have. What makes you think I should listen to them when it comes to years down the road?

Al Gore has no training in this. He is a lawyer and he has a waste dump on his property, a property that uses more fossil fuels in a month than I use in a year.

It is junk science…

Define real science. The National Academies of Science, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, American Meteorological Society, American Geophysical Union, and American Association for the Advancement of Science have all issued statements saying global warming is real and being influenced by humans. These are all heavily peer reviewed sources who have issued statements based on what the majority of their panels have concluded.

There’s more evidence to suggest that the conspiracy is in global warming denial, and not in scientists trying to swindle people into believing their myths. But then again, why would Exxon lie to us?

And I was always under the assumption that unpredictable ‘climatic changes’ used to be called *the weather*.

30 years ago we were headed for an ice age. Now we are warming up and it will be too late. The problem is, no real science is done to prove this. Al Gore repeated it and deemed it was true and that is the end of the discussion. There are as many scientists who do not believe in GW as do but they are ignored because they do not fit the agenda.

I get this picture in 20 years of you standing around in an environment much like it is today and after spending billions of dollars saying, it is coming, the ice caps are melting and we will get flooded.

I am willing to bet that this will not take place in our lifetimes even though Al has given us less than a decade.

I have a funny picture in my head of you during an ice age standing around saying “Look at all this ice, I knew global warming was a scam, but at least Ted Kennedy will have plenty of ice for his whiskey glass.”

This is the reason many people have sought to redefine it as “global climate change” instead of “global warming.” But if the big bang theory is of any example, you can’t go back once something has been branded.
