N O !!! Global warming being caused by humans is a figment of Algore's imagination. Besides he is the biggest hypocrite in the world. He has a massive electric bill at his TN mansion; he recently bought a seaside mansion in California against his own rules; he flies around the country on a super-carbon consuming private jet.

To fix the problem we just need to sew all politicians mouths shut, starting with Al Gore.

We are helping the planet solve our overpopulation problem. Maybe we should accept that there's no turning back and plan for the next 1000 years accordingly.

I can't say from personal experience, but if the National Academy of Sciences says there is climate change and it's man-made, then I want policy and action to be based on that finding. If you choose not to believe it, I don't mind, but I don't want you influencing the govt response to any science based question.

Climate change has been occurring for millions of years. Not that long ago we were being warned about a coming ICE AGE. The current debate was started by a self serving politician with falsified data. That alone is good reason to doubt it.

Climate change is a process which would occur with or without human activity. But it is obvious that we do have an impact and I feel that it is entirely negative for sustaining life as we know it.

According to NASA, the NOAA, AAAS, NSIDC, and every other organization with the tools to study the effects, document the changes, and peer review or publish articles... Yes, it is happening and humans are influencing it. This is not even a debate, there is no case against the changes being driven by humans aside from simply saying we aren't sure. We are sure, this is basic chemistry.

How incredibly arrogant of anyone to think that humans can negatively (or positively) impact God's creation. There is no verifible scientific proof of this politically convenient lie. What has been scientifically proven is that the recent warming trend is due to the sun's cycle reaching its peak. Al Gore may not have invented the internet, but he did invent global warming.

A large percentage of climate change is due to fossil fuels, nuclear bombs, and other forms of pollution by humankind. However, climate does always change. But, pollution is very bad..and that is caused by human beings, and large corporations, not abiding by the strict pollution laws.

Without a doubt the things we humans do affect our environment and we have done some incredibly stupid things. But, changing the entire climate of the Earth is not one of them. There is little doubt that, as world population grows, everything about our environment is affected. However, the myth of Global Warming is a farce. Those who would profit from things as stupid as "Carbon Credits" and "Cap & Trade" are pushing the myth for their own monetary and political gain. I am sure that there are those among us who want everyone to stop all modern activity and go back to being the hunter-gatherers of prehistoric times when the only things to pollute the air were flatulenc...

97 percent of scientists believe man is contributing to global warming. You don't buy 97 percent of the scientists in the world. What can be bought is the other 3 percent. Extremely wealthy capitalists can buy these 3 percent (this is a free market area) and then spend tons of money to influence the masses (using statements from their pet scientists as proof) that there is nothing to worry about so that the wealthy capitalists aren't forced to worry about destroying the environment and they save/make themselves lots and lots of money. Meanwhile, the masses are also influenced to vote Republican so the top 1 percent don't have to pay more in taxes. God - you have to adm...

The climate has changed throughout the history of the world, regardless of mans presence. 10,000 years ago we were in an ice age, 40 years ago, many predicted another ice age coming. I am not sure what is more presumptuous, that man has changed the climate or that man can change the climate.

Global warming is a money making racket from top to bottom. The government needs money. Government dreams up global warming and wants to institute a carbon tax. But for this to happen government needs proof. So the government give tons of money away to colleges, universities, and eminent scientists. "Eminent Scientists" take millions of research dollars to "prove" that global warming exists. Data is manipulated, excluded. and "smoothed". Global warming is proved. More money is given to other "Eminent Scientists" at other universities. Then it becomes a consensus. The government shelled out billions for the predetermined outcome of global warming and will get trillions ...

Climate change is cyclical, and even NASA verified that. So while Al Gore is raking in the money from books and movies, it's just another lie to frighten people, and fatten the "Sky Is Falling" radical left's wallets. Isn't it time to get down to more serious issues like the economy and how we will get out of the mess we are in?

When you consider the '70 predictions of a coming ice age. Then global warming. Then global cooling. Now climate change. And all of the discredited research, I don't think anyone knows for sure. That having been said, I'm all for not screwing up the planet as much as we can avoid it without getting nuts about it. I think carbon credits are a scam. I think killing coal is a huge mistake. I favor recycling. I'd like to see more in the way of hydrogen powered vehicles. And that's all I've got.

The vast majority of scientists studying the phenomena think that mankind is responsible. Who do you trust more - the PhDs that study things like this or a drug addled college dropout with a right wing radio show? Well for the majority of the posters on Politix I guess the choice is obvious.
