Global warming hoax??? The scientific evidence of global warming is inconclusive. There is no solid proof that human activity has caused climate changes. Could it be that man-made global warming is is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people?

Science is quite good about exposing bad science or hoaxes:

There%26#039;s a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

If it%26#039;s a hoax, are these people in on it? Or are they stupid?

%26quot;The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now.%26quot;

James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.

%26quot;The overwhelming majority of atmospheric scientists around the world and our own National Academy of Sciences are in essential agreement on the facts of global warming and the significant contribution of human activity to that trend.%26quot;

Russell E. Train, former environmental official under Presidents Nixon and Ford

%26quot;Global warming is already starting, and there%26#039;s going to be more of it. I think there is still time to deal with global warming, but we need to act soon. Humans now control global climate, for better or worse.%26quot;

James Hansen, Ph.D. climate scientist, NASA

%26quot;Global warming %26quot;is the most important challenge we face in this century. The hour is no longer for skepticism. It is time to act, and act urgently.%26quot;

Prince Albert II of Monaco

%26quot;Global warming is the most challenging problem our society has ever had to face up to. Ice is the canary in the coal mine of global warming.%26quot;

Britain%26#039;s chief scientist David King

%26quot;By mid-century, millions more poor children around the world are likely to face displacement, malnourishment, disease and even starvation unless all countries take action now to slow global warming.%26quot;

Michael Oppenheimer, professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University

“With overwhelming scientific evidence that global warming is adversely impacting the health of our planet, the time has come for the Congress to take action.”

Senator Olympia Snowe, Republican, Maine

%26quot;I agree with you (Gore) that the debate over climate change is over.%26quot;

Rep. Dennis Hastert, Republican, Illinois

%26quot;Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed.%26quot;

Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart

%26quot;I%26#039;m trying to learn [about greenhouse gases and global warming]. The more I learn, the bigger believer I become.%26quot;

Senator Lindsay Graham, Republican, South Carolina

“DuPont believes that action is warranted, not further debate.%26quot;

Charles O. Holliday, Jr., CEO, DuPont

%26quot;We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. The science is clear. The global warming debate is over.%26quot;

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican, Governor, California

%26quot;Our nation has both an obligation and self-interest in facing head-on the serious environmental, economic and national security threat posed by global warming.%26quot;

John McCain, Republican, Senator, Arizona

%26quot;These technologies will help us become better stewards of the environment - and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change.%26quot;

President George Bush

what is gonna keep this planet habitable for us

We as humanity can behave in a less stressful manner as far as the Environment is concerned ,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen, Lester E Brown is the director and founder of the global institute of Environment in the United states .he has compiled a report based on all the satalite information available from NASA,and all the information that has
come from Universities and American embassies WORLD WIDE ,
his little book--a planet under stress , Plan B has been trans lated into many languages and won the best book award in 2003 0% 0 Votes

I think hoax is too strong a word. There is political pressure to tout the evidence that does exist that says people are the cause and even more political pressure to suppress the evidence that does exist to say people are not the cause. But calling it a hoax is going too far. Call it a special interest, political pressure group that has been VERY successful. 0% 0 Votes

its a political agenda, not a hoax. slight if any difference. they pay experts and have anyone with a moderate to low iq believing in it. anyone who look sat earth history (not human history) knows that global warming is what ended the last 3 ice ages, and even brought %26quot;snowball earth%26quot; to an end. it happens ALL the time (astronomically speaking) its just on its next heat up phase. plus the co and the methane release from the bottom of the ocean is 12-15times higher then any humans coudl EVER release.. but of course no one will report on that.. it has no pillitical bearing. so its ignored... 0% 0 Votes

I find it interesting that Greenland, which is now known for ice, was at one time warm enough that it was colonized by the vikings. Yes, we may be a few degrees warmer than a few hundred years ago, but this is just the natural cycle of the earth%26#039;s temperatures - the joke is that the people propagandizing the global warming movement haven%26#039;t taken an accurate look at the Earth%26#039;s history. 0% 0 Votes

That’s a typic american point of view.
USA are one of the worst countries for environment: if everybody would live as an American, we’d need 8 planet Earth.
I’m French, and I know French people aren’t perfect, but we agree now that we have something to do with the environment, and we have no choice.
