I mean, these are the same kind of people that follow Obama like a Messiah even after its learned he was mentored by a raging anti-American racist.

They are the most mindless people on the planet.

there are a heck of lot more of the "global warmers" that don't think the great US of A ever landed men on the moon than so called Flat Earthers (which we ain't)! I agree that there is nothing left to add regarding the jack-ass Dr. Gore except that I hope and pray that the Dems pull him out of their heaping stink pile as the nominee for POTUS.

This town needs an enema! - The Joker

I have no idea whether we are really in global warming, or whether it's temporary, or whether it's man-made, or whether there's anything we can do about it anyway. I don't even know how to evaluate the different positions on the topic. All I know is that a lot of scientists apparently agree with Gore, but a few respected scientists don't. I reject any persuasion that begins: "The overwhelming majority of people in the scientific community ..." since that's just asking me to blindly jump on their bandwagon. Gore may be right, or he could be completely wrong. I have absolutely no idea, and I'll bet most people are like me.

How do you make a judgment about an issue when you know nothing about it? It comes down to trust. It's the same reason why you pick a doctor. You admit that you don't know the best answer yourself, so you have to rely on someone, and that involves trust.

I certainly don't trust Al Gore on a topic like this, nor do I appreciate Al Gore claiming that to disagree with him is insane. In fact, that kind of smug self-adoration is the kind of thing that makes me skeptical. Gore makes me skeptical. And therefore, like his presidential candidacy, Gore is his own worst enemy. The more he appears, the more skeptical I become.

2 Peter 2:1, 13-19

(1) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies [outrageous lies], even denying the Lord that bought them [has Al Gore ever even MENTIONED Jesus Christ?], and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

(13) And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

(14) Having eyes full of [spiritual] adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls : a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

(15) Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

(16) But was rebuked for his iniquity : the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbade the madness of the prophet.

(17) These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest: to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever.

(18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness [incontinence ... uncontrolled thoughts and emotions]. (Yet, those that are clean have escaped from them who live in error.)

(19) While they promise them liberty [Al Gore ... Mr. Manbearpig ... thinks he's out to save the world], they themselves are the servants of corruption : for of whom a man is overcome [philosophically], of the same is he brought into [spiritual] bondage.

60 minutes is shameless in their constant hyping of the AGW schtick.  Demean this, Algore!

Science and math is your friend. A little history doesn't hurt either. I wonder how many states are breaking all time snow records this year? I know the one we have a house in is, and we could use some more global warming. Can't see the road for the snow.

CO2 is an atmospheric trace gas, used for photosyntheses in plants, can't effect anything except people's minds. Plants take in CO2 and use the sun to make oxygen. Mmmmmm Oxygen. The real greenhouse culprit is water vapor(clouds), which accounts for about 95% of the Earth's greenhouse effect, compared to about 0.03% for CO2.

Oh yeah, as a aside, the computer models don't take into account water vapor, the modelers don't know how to do this.

So far neither the land based temperature records, revised to get rid of the alGore fudge and errors, the ARGO sea buoys, nor the satellites can find any sign global warming induced by CO2 -- It must not be there, right. So why can't the satellites find the unique signature of CO2 that the models all predict? About 90% of the Earth's heat is held in the oceans, which ARGO says are cooling.

All man's temperature records agree, the Earth is cooling slightly. Bet you haven't heard this on TV have you? The correlation between CO2 and temperature is low, less that 0.2, the correlation between the temperature and the sun's ouput is high, greater than 0.8. Highest r2 is 1.0.

I have a simple question. If the computer models, that's all this hoax is based on, are so accurate then let us test them. Simple test, initialize the models for the observed conditions in 1979 and predict the weather in 2007. Why 1979 start date, first time man had satellite based observations. Shhhh, down in front, you're snickering. You must know, but please don't tell anyone what the answer is ...

If you want to know what is really going on with Earth's ever changing climate, I suggest a Book by Dr Spencer ... "Climate Confusion."

Al Gore is a quack. 

apparently there is a city out ther that is planning to shut off as many lights as it can to save the planet and to obvious make a silly gesture that willbe grossly over emphisized in it's scope and effectiveness all in an effort to perpetuate this socialist anti-capitalist global warming scam and probably to discredit our need for oil that we should be drilling for in anwar and off florida. it'll all be done to promote conservation as the only energy solution.

ok criminals here's your break, i'm curious to see what the shoplifting, mugging, and sexual assault numbers are after this crazy haired event. they did the same thing in australia last year in response to a drought. yes i said drought. apparently there is a direct link to rainfall and lightbulbs working. i haven't figured that one out yet but of course i'm a stooopid flat earther. i'm not smart enough to link rainfall and lightbulbs yet. so all criminals you have a helping hand for one hour all city lights will be shut off in columbia, i assume ohio?

does this mean traffic lights too? they did say all lights.

Science and math is your friend. A little history doesn't hurt either.--10ksnooker

10ksnook says it all. I started out knowing nothing about AGW but one day I ran into a zealot who was convinced we'd be doomed in 10 years (8 left now!). After doing a little net research, I questioned her about AGW, bringing up contrary views, and thereafter she refused to talk to me.

This is what people mean when they call AGW alarmism a religion.

As for the subject, it is confusing at first when one has limited scientific background but slowly one begins to form an opinion--an educated one. Trust your intellect. A genuine skeptic reserves the right to change his or her mind if she comes across new data which makes it necessary. That is the only honest way to deal with scientific truths.

So far on climate change I am more convinced everyday that it is a scam---a word I wouldn't have gone so far as to use a year ago. Today I am more frustrated than ever as I watch recent developments in the political arena (the Lieberman bill, the EU's ambitious pride) and upon hearing how Gore goes round blatantly insulting anyone who does not agree with him.

As mentioned on another thread:

Here is a link to a story from The Australian which was featured on a local radio program this morning. Too bad we won't hear anything about this story from the msm.

This really blows a hole through the theory that the earth is warming. I give up though, it will fall on deaf ears.

It should be easy to make a "flat earther" look bad in a debate. Yet Al Gore will not debate anyone...

Flat Earthers?

Seems to me that Al's brain waves have Flat-Lined!

"Abstain from McCain"

hmm...flat earth...is that anything like Gore's flat head?

Hey cool! Another JM fighting the AGW hysteria in NJ! Contact me in private message if you want to talk about blocking the playing of Gore's IT in schools...

-JohnM

So we who challenge Al Gore are "flat earthers"?  What does that make a Divinity School FAILURE who's more concerned about a rock concert in Europe than he is in seeing to it that his junkie son doesn't use his Prius to kill anyone on the 5 Freeway?

I've read a few articles here and there, but they all seem to be written by "true believers," and that does me no good.

Go to the sources---the science and the scientists and scientific organizations--on both sides of the issue. Read both Pielke sites and RealClimate and The Reference Frame. There is no reason why you should shy away from forming a solid opinion you can back up with data one way or the other even if it ends up being at odds with the skeptics here.
