Why would anyone want to debunk efforts to protect the environment?
The USA pumps 6 billions tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. 6 billion tons. and that's just the USA alone. China, India, Russia, Europe, etc etc also pollute. billions of tons - EVERY YEAR.
i think it is intellectually dishonest to claim that mankind is not able to affect the environment. in fact - its laughable. the atmosphere is not an infinite thing. it is like a lake. keep dumping crap into the lake and the biosystem changes. period.
it is dishonest to claim that 'suddenly' global warming has emerged as an issue - and that the media 'propaganda' is to blame. this is an INSULT to anyone with an ounce of integrity.
i remember the 'greenhouse effect' being talked about 20 years ago. the warning signs were already present - and gotten steadily worse. i remember people talking about the hole in the ozone layer 20 years ago. i remember people talking about the sharp increases in skin cancer.
this is not a SUDDEN interest. it is a CRISIS.
we now know from studies of ice-plugs in the arctic that climate changes - as a result of CO2 fluctuations - can create SUDDEN and catastrophic changes in the environment. sudden ice ages in the span of a decade. do you have data to dispute this?
why are people ignoring this data? why do people question the 'sudden interest' in protecting our environment when we KNOW these facts?
arctic climatologists and meteorologists and microbiologists and oceanographers and marine biologists and avian experts and migratory patterns and geologists and anthropologists and mass extinctions and the study of coral reefs and disappearing ice sheets and retreating glaciers and the rise of diseases and tropical weather patterns in northern areas and mega wildfires and catastrophic droughts and historically powerful hurricanes and catastrophic flooding and rollercoaster weather patterns with more extreme weather surfacing on both sides of the spectrum…..
and all of these studies cross-reference each other - support each other - and confirm the truth. Scientists from many many different scientific disciplines - with peer-review - all documenting the same phenomenon all over the world.
yet – some people here are ARROGANT enough to post an article from some small percent of dissenting scientists who claim nonsense like ‘sun spots’ are to blame? where's the worldwide consensus on THAT?
It is SO out of proportion to the reality at hand that it ceases to be funny – and becomes borderline criminal. It is the equivalent of ignoring the inadequate levies in New Orleans – for business reasons – resulting in thousands of deaths when they finally failed. It is irresponsible TO THE EXTREME!
So I guess global warming is the ONE subject we CAN trust big business and FoxNews on? Sean Hannity got this one right?
Oh – let me get this straight – Al Gore is part of the Knights Templar Bilderberg Rockefeller NWO North American Union Skull and Bones conspiracy to create false hysteria about scientific data that exists and anyone can research for themselves?
Someone here said it was suspicious that Gore made this film after his presidential loss. Why? The man has ALWAYS championed this cause. He wrote Earth in the Balance in 2000. He collaborated on The Riverkeepers : Two Activists Fight to Reclaim Our Environment as a Basic Human Right in 1999.
how arrorant do you have to be to deny the gross majority of scientific studies coming from all over the world - from a spectrum of different scientific disciplines - and call global warming a hoax?
where do you get off?
