2. During the medieval warm period (820 – 1040 AD), Greenland supported farming. Those areas previously farmed are now covered in glaciers. Obviously the melting and reformation of glaciers is a cyclical occurrence.
3. The earth experienced a little ice age which ended around the late 1860%26#039;s or so. This is about the time man started recording temperatures. This would be like measuring a lake depth after a severe drought, then worrying about it flooding as it rose to normal levels.
4. The earth has been warming for the last 18,000 years, since the last major glacier time period. During this time frame, the glaciers have been melting at a fairly consistent rate. Also, for most of the last 1 billion years, the earth had NO glaciers or ice coverage.

5. The AGW theory states that CO2 is the primary driver of temperature. They arrived at this idea because they did not know of anything else which could cause it. But during the 70%26#039;s and during the current decade, temperatures dropped while CO2 continued to rise. This means that natural occurrences are driving temp, not CO2.
6. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation and sun spots provides a much better correlation to earths%26#039; temperature than CO2 levels ever have.

7. Polar Bears are experiencing a population boom. Coke sales in the arctics are through the roof. Polar Bears have been around for thousands of years, and remember, we are only at the average for the last 2,000 years. They lived through all the previously warmer climates. The original picture of 2 bears on a floating ice block was a complete scam. The photographer explained that the bears were in no danger and close to shore. The picture was lifted from a public PC by another passenger and sent around the world.
8. Many glaciers are expanding. Even Antarctica is growing on 98% of is land mass. Only 2% is melting.

9. There is no consensus on AGW. This was a lie that has been propagated by the media.

10. Yes we emit CO2 into the atmosphere and it is a greenhouse gas, but, we only contribute about .28% of all the greenhouse effect. Water vapor makes up about 95% of the greenhouse effect. CO2 and other trace gases round out the greenhouse gases at about 5% for all of them. Of that 5%, only 3% is CO2, and most of that is natural. Again, our contribution to the greenhouse effect is a paltry .28%

11. The spread of disease is not attributed mainly to temperature. If this were the case, Florida would be a giant festering disease ridden cesspool. Economic standing is the primary determining factor in the spread of disease. Poor cultures can not fight the disease or eradicate the pests like more successful nations.

12. Natural climate disasters (hurricanes, cyclones, etc) have never been scientifically linked to global warming (whether natural or man made).

ive heard about that AL Gore thing and him having all those things. so i suppose he%26#039;s a hypocrite and is just making everyone who knows global warming is happening look like an idiot.
and about them using explosives, they probably needed to get a point across. and i don%26#039;t know where you got that info from, but it may not be true. i know on the discovery and history channels they always have footage like that. it could be re used. but then again if it is true, they had to get a point across.
about the polar bears. so what happens to them once the entire north and south poles are gone? with no glaciers to relax on? they aren%26#039;t adapted to survive in warm weather. what with their fur coats and that huge layer of fat.
and im not trying to criticize or be mean in any way. -

Well from what I hear, it apparently isn%26#039;t.Though I know some people may be misinformed, global warming is a fact.It does not necessarily mean it has to be hot in the place you live in.Climate change is a part of global warming.And the worsening %26quot;natural%26quot; calamities are part of global warming.I believe we must all do our part to save the earth, and ultimately ourselves.Cheers!;) -

omg i didn%26#039;t know that! Global Warming is a growing concern and we have to stop it as soon as possible. In my life, i try to recycle and reduce my use of electricity, but i dont think its as important to other people. We should care to stop it and i think Al Gore shouldn%26#039;t have won the nobel peace prize for raising awareness if he%26#039;s gonna waste as much as he%26#039;s trying to stop -

You are not really looking for the truth. Before there were plants on the earth animals could not live here. You do not really think that we can burn all of the plants that sequestered carbon for billions of years, and cut down the forests, and overgraze then land and have it have no effect eventually do you?
If you do you are lying to yourself. -

no its not a myth and start thinking green. dont u want your kids to see polar bears and other animals affected by the warming? inconvientient truth did it to kick some ******* sense into you people who dont believe in this thing that is destroying our earth. go buy a Volkswagon Lupo. itll give you a nice, safe, 70 mpg.
