Global Warming: Human Induced Or Natural Cycle and Does It Really Matter? - Page 2

When you consider that, it is much more sobering. I think that too many people are somehow deluded into the belief that proving that Climate Change is not human-induced will prove that it doesn't exist. This is not at all the case. Even the skeptics now admit that Climate Change is real. There is just too much science there to deny it any longer. That being the case, it is high time that we all realize that our job now is to learn to deal with the consequences of this and stop wasting our energy trying to lay blame, especially when who is to blame won't matter a bit in the end.

    So where's the scientific evidence that Global Warming exists?

    THE 2008 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CLIMATE CHANGE REMARKS OF JOHN COLEMAN

    It's not whether Global Warming is a natural cycle or man-made. It's just that it doesn't exist!!

    If you look right there, Brian - just beyond the end of your nose - you might just catch a glimpse of it.

    Isn't John Coleman the guy that started The Weather Channel? And why does this debate even still exist?

    We can play Battling Experts all day long and it won't get us anywhere. The fact is that we need to take better care of our planet so that we can leave a better world for our children and so on. Why is there such resistance to new technology and new ways of living that help that along?

    Yes, Mr. Coleman founded The Weather Channel and he had the gonads to confront that useless bureaucratic dept (UN IPCC) about their flawed evidence that only four independent reviewers analyzed!

    I'm not against new technology or better & more efficient ways of doing things. What I am against are the tactics supported by the bad,flawed science that hypocrites like Al Gore use to scare a nation into guilt about living a modern life while he makes a f*cking fortune using this unfounded evidence to lecture people. That us citizens have to make sacrifices to save a supposed dying planet while the politicians & corporations do whatever they please!

    I suggest you read John Coleman's statements & take a look at Penn & Teller's Bullsh!t episode on "Being Green"!

    Ultimately, if the citizens of the world want to stop the destruction of the Earth - They should start massive reforestation efforts, look towards artificial energy sources & stop breeding!

    To deal with global warming, the government needs to immediately plant more trees, and stop cutting them down. It is a major problem they need to deal with. The importance of trees has been understated by "scientists" that truly don't understand the relevance of trees. Don't criticize the importance of the concept until you know all the facts. On top of deforestation, we are polluting the environment. Another contributing factor is modern day energy systems rely on explosion rather than implosion, and this generates heat. Every systems need to be more efficient and work on implosion, so they stay cool. The non-profit energy research organization is active in these areas which will help reverse effects of global warming. I suggest everyone also read "Living Energies" by Callum Coats which explains the work of Victor Schauberger and the importance of trees to our planet. Don't rely on information from the authorities as their advisors don't fully understand the life cycle of the planet. We need to push the authorities to develop forest management and sustainability plans, and this will solve at least part of the problem.

    Haha Brian, you're saying it doesn't matter that we release billions of tons of C02 into the atmosphere because we're in a cycle right? it will all go away eventually because we're in a cycle.. right? haha you are laughable and exactly whats preventing the progression of an environmentally friendly world. I suggest you educate yourself a little bit to understand these C02 molecules WE (MAN MADE) are releasing into the air is indeed connecting to oxygen molecules, thus, creating another blanket around the earth AKA Global Warming. Its not going away sweetheart. Some day you will understand, but I think its above your knowledge.. I feel bad for you.
