I love all the citations he uses to prove his point. We should totally believe random journalist for some local news over peer reviewed scientific journals.

Global warming is nothing new. I'm sure ancient man was all upset when the woolly mammoths died out. That doesn't mean ancient man caused it.
As soon as someone shows me a control earth with no humans and no global warming then I will believe it is human caused.

Um, they used to drive them off of cliffs to feed the tribes.

Can we do the same to Global Warming alarmists? Well, the driving them off of cliffs part, not necessarily the eating of them part...

This is just another Fox News Republican crap fest OP. Grow your own brain instead of borrowing theirs.

It looks like GW was not anything but made up crap afterall. :shocked:

I read an article that said that Communism is the best way to go, by a professor, so obviously, capitalism is a scam.

REPENT!

Well either that or go with what is peer reviewd and published evidence. Not for the faint at hearth though.

Views on global warming
Despite having no educational or scientific credentials in meteorology, climatology, environmental science, or indeed any other scientific field or discipline, in the fall of 2007 Coleman described the current concern over global warming "a fictional, manufactured crisis, and a total scam." [3] His postings assessing the science behind global warming can be read at www.kusi.com. In fact, Coleman is not even a board-certified meteorologist or weather reader, the requirements for which are but several semester hours of successfully completed college coursework in meteorology or associated disciplines such as geology. In 2008 Coleman gave a speech of the same tone, before the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, blaming the "global warming scam" and environmentalist lobby, for rising gas and food prices. He also declared the scam "a threat to our economy and our civilization." [4]

Coleman has also made appearances on Fox News Channel and on the Showtime program, Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, to share his global warming views.

Coleman recently published an article entitled "The Amazing Story Behind the Global Warming Scam"[5] in which he promotes his personal view that many scientists and politicians have been embroiled in what amounts to scam based on incomplete science and a political motive for a world government. Coleman claims that the 'scam' was triggered by the claims of scientist Roger Revelle whose primary motivation was seeking increased funding for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.

Coleman's global warming views are closely aligned with those of the International Climate Science Coalition, an organization of over 197 climate science specialists or scientists in closely related fields, who in 2008 in Manhattan N.Y., issued a declaration known as the Manhattan Declaration stating that ?Global warming? is not a global crisis [6] .

Thanks. Useless thread avoided.

I don't need anyone to tell me that global warming is a huge crock of shit and that I shouldn't give a fuck about it.

Agenda? To prove that you are not alone in wishing to bury your head in the sand or seek profit in lying?

I said study it.

THen you might grasp the fact that the reason Mars is what it is is due to a greenhouse effect.

Reading is harder than glazing over bullshit internet nonsense and listening to talk radio. This explains who you're arguing with. :)

So what was your agenda then? To shove your belief that all of the scientists who say it is "very likely" global warming is real down peoples throats?

I don't care if it's real or not, the fact that products are becoming more energy efficient and less pollutant as a result of the "hype" is a plus no matter how you slice it.

No, my agenda was to highlight your stupidity, or rather, the stupidity evident in your initial post:

Why doesn't someone just plot average world temperatures over what world temperatures should be from the last ice age to the next?

In this case, people pointing out the facts don't necessarily have an agenda. Accepting that evolution is real because of the mountain of evidence to support it (fossil record, for starters) does not mean you automatically have an agenda.

Remember, science is rooted on objective analysis. Whether someone uses that information to develop an agenda is a different issue. Why you insist on connecting both is beyond me. You shouldn't. You can argue whether specific policies aimed to reduce carbon emissions are good or not. But you really shouldn't argue whether carbon emissions are causing climate change. If you are arguing that, you're guilty of having an agenda. Facts are facts. Accept the facts without emotion. Then you can talk policy.
