Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?
I have been saying that global warming is a hoax for some time now. That's not to say that I disagree that we should monitor our energy consumption, I just believe we should do it for entirely different reasons. We've installed a new themostat and switched to energy saving lightbulbs to save money every month on our electricity bill. But when does sensibility turn irrational? For one, I am sick of self-proclaimed "liberals" who propagate their propaganda without any real scientific basis behind it, or even common sense.
I'm sorry, but Al Gore is a joke. Ok, blaming record highs on global warming -- fair enough. But lows too? Not only are the polar ice caps going to melt, but they are going to freeze over too. Yet recorded history, as far as my knowledge and understanding permits, never mentions or contains any "ice ages" (unless you count the natural periods of cooling). But that's another topic entirely. Has anybody noticed that because we are entering a "cooling" period, Global Warming is now being interchanged with "Climate Change" -- perhaps in a few months Global Warming will fall off the scene as a buzzword history will begin to be rewritten... I, for one, will always call them out on what this fiasco started out as: global warming via CO2. HELLO?! Am I the only one that sees how ridiculous that sounds? Does anyone remember what they learned in elementary school science class about how plants give us oxygen to breathe and we give them CO2 that they absorb? The very first time I heard about CO2 being a pollutant I thought about this. AND ALSO, a "globally warm" earth is actually beneficial -- there is more growth then in terms of plant life and creatures than in a "globally cool" period.
What I really want to get across, is that most people I know that argue for global warming have no idea about any actual science to stand behind their opinion, whereas a simple google search will find a lot of complex scientific and mathematic commentary that is enough to make my head spin, like this site for example. Again, another topic entirely, but I get the same thing for those who want to "argue" for evolution. And thus, if you're going to have an opinion, you should at least know something intelligible about it that is not just regurgitated propaganda.
The truth is not always what it seems, and rarely ever is what the current media portrays it as... it's a serious case of revisionist history or just plain cover ups. If nobody talks about it then it doesn't exist. If you really think that Global Warming is a real concern... ask yourself, have you really studied the facts? You may be asking yourself, why would the government, media and other croonies want to perpetrate a global warming hoax? That is merely speculation, there could be plenty of reasons (money included), and I'm not an authority in these matters by any stretch of the imagination, but I can do my own research and find out the facts FOR MYSELF. How many of you still have mommy feed you? So why rely on someone like Al Gore for your information? The man is not a scientist, nor will he debate with anyone, and if someone opposes he throws mud at them... just like a two year old. Why don't you see why many, many scientists and regular people like you and I are convinced that Global Warming IS a hoax, and a dangerous one at that.
Here's a good place to start:
Worlds Natural Health Organization: THE GLOBAL WARMING HOAX
Wikipedia: Global Warming Conspiracy Theory
Global Warming Hoax: Where Only The Truth Heats Up
Derica Lorriane - Global Warming Hoax
That's only the tip of the iceburg. Google "Global Warming" "Global Warming Hoax" and "Global Warming Conspiracy" and see where you end up. Compare the reasoning and science behind both cases and see which is stronger. You may be surprised at what you find.

I believe God made creation logically, through evolution. And I believe we are now damaging that creation. I didn't arrive at these conclusions without a lot of thought.
Really? What I got from it was that you feel that people you know who argue to support global warming (and you also mentioned evolution) do so without knowing what they're talking about. Did I misunderstand the point of the post?
So I took some time to look at your links, a couple of which I'd already seen. After doing so, it became obvious that I was about to engage in yet another debate that will take the same pointless path as the rest. I'll argue the same points I always do, you'll counter-argue the same points I've heard a gajillion times and we'll eventually agree to disagree. Bah.
Why? It's obvious you've made up your mind and I can assure you I've made up mine. And while Al Gore enjoys his Nobel Prize and Pat Robertson sits with his nemesis Al Sharpton for the express purpose of imploring us to think about Global Warming and other earth issues, I'm happy to continue doing what I can to make sure my grandchildren don't suffer from our neglect.
I applaud you for getting on your soapbox about something you feel passionate about. I'm just not the one you're going to convince.
I'm not disputing the fact that a global warming took place (past tense, because now we are staying about the same and even showing a cooling trend, which now Al Gore and his ilk are changing Global Warming to Climate Change... tricky!). I'm disputing the theory that it is mans fault via CO2 emissions, and there is definitely a very convincing argument to support that conclusion.
I am concerned about congress passing bills that require a premature switch to other fuels -- such as biofuels like ethanol which have a negative energy quotient -- as in, they require more energy than they produce (and yes, ethanol is created using petroleum). I am the first person in line to use an alternative method of fuel that is sustainable and renewable, but we can't step backwards. The problem with global warming created by human involvement is that it is motivated with fear of great catastrophes and whatnot which causes people to be reactionary and not consider everything.
I'm concerned about free speech and people losing jobs because they have dissenting opinions. I'm concerned about our children being told what to think instead of how to think. I'm concerned with our children being taught things as truth without any science behind it. I'm concerned that "An Inconvenient Truth" is being shown to children when it has 35 errors in it, at least 9 major ones. Fact: in the UK teachers are required to tell the children An Inconvenient Truth was propaganda when they show it in the classroom.
I don't have the power to change anyones mind, but that doesn't stop me from seeking the truth and reporting it as I see it. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, and honestly, my mind can be persuaded with a clear and logical argument... but I will be honest about it and non apologetic. If I am rude, I'm sorry, but you got it -- I am passionate!
Thanks for adding your input!
