Q:
Listening to John Boy & Billy this morning, they asked where Al Gore was these days. Apparently one of his global warming scientists let the cat out of the bag recently that there has been no real evidence of global warming since 1995, yet Al has been flying around the country in his big jet, apparently making a killing trying to get us to go green, all the while living in his energy sucking castle. Anybody else hear this one, and are you surprised? I had "global warming" to my knees in my back yard last week.

For all you people who think global warming is false look up the evidence. Climate change is the right term and because you don't understand what it is you think its a lie. Climate change has brough us progretionally warmer summers which is backed up by evidence also or witers are becoming slightly warmer but not enough to be above freezing all the time. This warmer air can hold alot more moisture than colder air, this is the reason for all these massive snow storms that ingnorant and uneducated people claim disproves climate change. So go do some reaserch educate yourself and shut up.

I'm not a global warmer believer either, but.... the last few years we have experienced a lot of strange weather patterns. We've had more year round wind in NW Ohio than I can ever remember. Now whether its a cyclical thing, who knows. Cyclical, in weather terms, can be hundreds of years.

We have been in global warming since the last ice age. No glaciers in New York today? I don't think that climate change is in dispute since science has shown the Earth to be in constant climate change for centuries.

What is in contention is the causes for this phenomena. A majority of scientists can seem to agree either, or so it seems. The fact that Al Gore is a lying POS politician does not lend creedence to the arguments either. Obama? There's credibility for you.

You chastized to "So go do some reaserch educate yourself and shut up." You might be in need of a nice hot cup of STFU yourself. I'm always open to a good fact based argument on the subject.

It is hard to trust anyone's research that is making loads of money from the studies. Dollar signs can sway any research. Years ago tobacco companies refused to believe that tobacco could cause cancer. Climate "Scientists" (Al Gore is no "Scientist") refuse to believe that "Global Warming" is a made up marketing scheme. Al Gore is just a Tobacco Salesman of today!

Yes, the main researcher involved with the global warming conspiracy has owned up to cooking the books so to speak...pardon the pun...

WMH is correct. We have been on a warming trend for the past 10,000 years. Mans development has been closely tied to this warming trend. The Earth goes through such warming and cooling trends, we know that. All the ballyhoo concerns an agenda to forward the "Green Industry" all you tree caressers out there who don't believe this should open your eyes to the profitability of the industry. The carbon credit sham has netted billions. Al Gore has conveniently purchased Carbon credits from his own company to justify being such an energy hog. There is even a thriving industry selling shopping bags to consumers, every one of which I handled were made in CHINA! The same China with an abysmal environmental record.

Yes, old Al and made quite a bit of cash of his inconvenient truth. A truth he created to suite himself.

We have been having global warming in our back yard too. Amazing. I am all for being good custodians of the planet but being a scientist myself, I was shocked to see the pathetic second grade examples cited in the "Truth" that have no factual correlation to climate. I'm surprised Al didn't get voted off the planet after that one. He actually started getting into a little science with arctic core samples showing differences in atmospheric carbon content over the years but then couldn't really correlate that to anything. If I did believe that we had a climatic problem, I sure wouldn't hire a politician to resolve it. Especially one who claimed discovery of the Internet when he found it in his office six years after his SysAdmin installed it.

Scientists are just like politicians, Obrien. They both have agendas, and neither can be blindly trusted. I think it's telling that, of the 30,000+ scientists that an international climate change group asked to sign a statement saying that global warming is real, only 7,000 did. The others refused. Global warming is a lie, and we have the scientific field on our side for this one.

So where is the evidence that global warming is real? I would agree that SOME scientists are politicians. Why was there an ice age? Why are we not still in an ice age? I believe that the world goes through fluctuations, cooling and warming. In the 70's people were worried about global cooling. Taking a small segment of time to research (like 100 years) is not believable evidence for me. I do stand by that we need to take care of our planet, I just think that Al Gore's group is out of their element in that regard. Consider yourselves politicians until you share some credible evidence from an INDEPENDENT source, one not being paid to pretty much to find proving evidence. If one of Al Gore's employees came to him and said "I have found real evidence that shows that global warming is false." What do you think would happen? He would be looking for a job, and Gore owns the research that would never be seen (intellectual property). I just don't see the pro-Climate Change group as reliable, and their weaknesses are beginning to show.

I'll answer troutman and obrien at the same time. 1) You guys are the ones trying to say that the world will burn up if Americans keep driving their F350s as much as they, so the burden of evidence is on you. A heck of a lot of scientists say that there is no evidence whatsoever for global warming, so you need to have a ton of rock-solid evidence to prove them wrong. I really don't have to prove a thing, although I would like to point out that the earth's temperature was over 1 degree hotter in the mid-1800s.

Secondly, for troutman, yes scientists are wonderful people without whom the world would be nothing like it is. So are politicians. They both have agendas. You may not have an agenda to prove global warming, but I could show you a list of scientists who have stated that proving global warming is their life's work. They aren't approaching it with an open mind, and they freely admit that. Scientists have agendas just like politicians, lawyers, businessmen, etc.
