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).

I think that man-made global warming theory is probably in a large part false. I believe that the predictions of warming to occur in the next century are overestimates; in fact I would not be so sure that any net warming will occur next century. I do not believe that a system as complex as the Earth%26#039;s climate can be accurately modelled at the moment, or in the near future, and I think it foolish that a single element that influences climate (greenhouse gases) is treated as some kind of temperature accelerator pedal.
I would not go so far as to use the word conspiracy; however, I do believe that the scientific establishment is silencing and cutting off funds to dissenting voices, and that political motivations (for example a leftist guilt for the consequences of Western activities) are influencing the activities of many government and science authorities concerning the global warming theory.
For example, read up on the controversy over NASA%26#039;s anomalous temperature figures for last year (they recorded a steady increase in global mean temperature whilst all of the other respected measures showed a huge drop in temperature). 0% 0 Votes -
Global Warming is not a Doomsday Prophesy it is a wake up call. The first thing we need to do is help make some changes in our national mind set from one that lets us believe that our earth can recover from anything, to one that lets us believe that our earth could use a little help.
Developing cleaner ways to produce electricity is not going to hurt a thing, if it doe’s nothing but make the air we breathe cleaner it works for me.
Developing alternative fuels to power our transportation needs , again won’t hurt a thing, reduce the demand for oil you reduce the price we pay for it, I think everyone can say “that works for me” to this.
In our everyday life one of best ways to help focus your mind set in the right direction is to say to yourself each morning, “Today I will do no harm to the earth” I do this it works, I find myself doing little things that in the long run enriches my life, again it don’t hurt a thing.
I could go on about this all day but I won’t. I’m a global warming advocate but, not because of some unfounded fear of Doomsday but (as you may have guessed by now) because it won’t hurt a thing to help our earth recover from years of industrial plunder.

Global warming is a natural occurance, not caused by man. There is overwhelming evidence against it and nearly none for it. It is a major propagonda scam that was caused by the semi informed media, propagonda videos and corrupted scientists. Most scientists think it is fake.

global warming is a fact that can no longer be ignored. problem is we don%26#039;t know enough. we humans might not be the only reason why its becoming warmer, there were cases in pre-history, when it became warmer and colder without human intervention. there is another problem with global warming: there is another man made problem, called global dimming, which counteracts the warming of the earth, google it is my recommendation

So far, there is no hard scientific proof that man has anything to do with global warming...... OR Cooling.
A lot of folks .... especially those who stand to make a $$Buck..... as well as elementary and high school students who the Warmers have REALLY been trying to brainwash......have piled on to the %26#039;Man-did-it%26#039; thing, but not because there is science to back them up...... only for fame and fortune.
