Global Warming

[Better Loops]

I just viewed a video on Global Warming. It does give another perspective and makes one wonder where the truth actually lies. I also wonder whether there is anything we as humans can do to alleviate the effect? It is a relatively long video ( about an hour and 15 min.)

Oh jees. People will believe anything, won't they.

One big crock of sheit!

All "Global Warming" is, is a means for Al Gore to make $$. This is quite possibly the largest fleecing of idiots that has ever come around.

Adhering to my lifelong* (almost) personal policy, of not debating an unwinnable issue, I withhold
comment, however, Bamboozle,although it may not/does not accurately represent my hidden opinion, I love your closing, "As for me, I'm with Rhett Butler!". I will use it.

It's a long story,

Since we all know the earth has had many cycles of heating and cooling, I'd like to know what the optimal temperature for the planet is, anyway.....

Further, I'd like to know why I should believe someone's forecast for the next 100 years, when they can't come close to telling me what's going to happen 3 days from now with any degree of accuracy.

And if man is the cause of global warming, how do you explain this?

So many questions, so little time to fish.

This is a recent Story; The Weather Channel has lost its way, according to John Coleman, who founded the channel in 1982.

Coleman told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York that he is highly critical of global warming alarmism.

?The Weather Channel had great promise, and that?s all gone now because they?ve made every mistake in the book on what they?ve done and how they?ve done it and it?s very sad,? Coleman said. ?It?s now for sale and there?s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced ? several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let?s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.?


The Weather Channel has been an outlet for global warming alarmism. In December 2006, The Weather Channel?s Heidi Cullen argued on her blog that weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society.

Coleman also told the audience his strategy for exposing what he called ?the fraud of global warming.? He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force global warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.

?[I] have a feeling this is the opening,? Coleman said. ?If the lawyers will take the case ? sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the witness stand and testified, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.?

Earlier at the conference Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy adviser to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, told an audience that the science will eventually prevail and the ?scare? of global warming will go away. He also said the courts were a good avenue to show the science.

End Quote.
In my opinion, the Press has used "Global Warming" as a "Hot Topic" to draw attention to the TV & Newspaper News. If the earth warms or cools, there isn't anything we can do about it. The integrity of the Press has eroded and they are desperate for anything to boost their ratings.
