    Global warming is a scam. It’s so much of a scam that they changed the name
    to climate change because the Earth hasn’t warmed in 17 years. In that 17
    years co2 has gone up. There I just debated it. The “scientist” they bring
    on are Bill Nye, and the paranormal investigator. Neither one of them are
    climate scientist. There are 1000s of scientist speaking out about this.
    CNN on record receives 100s of millions of Dollars a year from the US to
    spread this propaganda.

    You know when to be suspicious when REAL skeptics are called “deniers” in
    an attempt to group them in with “Holocaust deniers”. Other scientists
    have asked legitimate questions and have been shouted down for doing so.
    That is not science!

    Even if man made global warming were real, which it’s not, how would giving
    Al Gore money fix this? What good does it do to shut down clean burning
    plants here, when they’re opening up dirty ones in China? Why are the
    dirtiest plants like GE’s allowed to operate? Is it because huge corps.
    like GE run this country? It’s all designed to destroy competition, and
    steal our money.

    Yeah they do have two side and yes climate change still have this, ask
    environmental historians, they do question this a lot given a lot of these
    people have political agenda and many of these models have been proven
    dead wrong and even the science has been proven off or dead wrong.

    Climate change deniers need to go to the back of line when there are food
    and water shortages. In addition teaching children that this is not real
    and other nonsense such as creationism should be treated as a crime against
    humanity and considered child abuse..

    Well, not only because of the remarkable progress science has showed me in
    recent years, but Dr. Kaku is exactly right that science and the scientific
    community worldwide confirmed on the fact of Global warming as it is
    happening, with proven mathematical formulas, computer programs and so on
    so forth.

    If skeptics are so right and confirmed in their suspicions as well, Dr.
    Kaku is right that come to us with a proven method that will deny our
    calculations, but none has yet arrived. Now, coming to the major point,
    what do you think is left for skeptics and corrupt politicians alike? They
    are continuing tehir dirty works while the planet is badly affecting from
    it and actually most of us the people are giving them chance to ruin our
    only life spot in universe. Global warming is indeed happening and extreme
    weather is now more frequent then ever. So wake up til it is too late!

    The debate isn’t really about whether climate change exists or not. It’s
    about how much of it is man made and whether or not humanity is facing
    catastrophic consequences as the alarmists would have everyone believe.

    In order to begin to understand why so much debate still exists you first
    need to accept that science doesn’t exist to provide us with proof or truth
    and it’s definitely not about “consensus”. The practice of scientific
    investigation involves tools to help us explain how the physical world
    MIGHT work. The explanation doesn’t have to be true to be useful, just
    consistent with most of the evidence.

    Even though paleoclimatologists try to reconstruct the climates of past
    centuries or millennia through proxy measurements, there is simply no way
    to verify how accurate those interpretations are. The MSM and IPCC would
    like you to believe that climate science is hard science. But it isn’t.
    It’s really more about advancing an international political agenda.

    And it’s not even about advancing the environmentalist agenda as much as it
    is about redistribution of the world’s wealth. The climate change alarmists
    at the IPCC openly admit to this fact.

    IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer, speaking in November 2010, advised that:
    “…one has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate
    policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how
    we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth…”

    the main problem i have is that its entirely based on the theory of
    irradience, were the long length waves are supposed to be trapped by these
    green house gas’s in the upper troposphere and thats were this change
    should primarily be taken place, but temperatures in the upper troposphere
    arnt rising as much as on the ground, but for the theory to be true it
    should be getting hotter up higher quicker and the ground should be
    lagging, how can this be real if this isnt the case seeing as thats the
    entire basis for it? and why do they have michio kaku, a physicist on
    talking about something way out of his field. im sure he means well but hes
    hardly an authority on weather effects

    It’s not an 800 pound gorilla in the room, it’s a 35 ton apatosaurus and it
    is roaring.
    The mainstream media are guilty of a gross dereliction of duty by not
    informing the population about the facts so they can vote appropriately,
    and we all know why – the solutions threaten the profits of the fossil fuel
    industry so they lean on the media and pull political strings and try to
    create a reassuring and alternative reality. It is not working though –
    even they cannot hide 3 year droughts, multibillion dollar storms and polar
    vortices, although they keep trying.
    The debate is over – it is us, it is bad and it’ll get worse.
    Even if we could switch to renewables overnight and dump carbon there is
    still warming in the pipeline as the planet continues to equilibrate.
    We can’t do very much against that yet, but we can act to prevent a bad
    dream from becoming a nightmare.
    Every time this can is kicked down the road, it doubles in size.

    Great video – thanks. So why debate the irrefutable? News organizations are
    an entertainment BUSINESS; perhaps debating climate change plays to the
    buying demographic. As for the those is denial; when do some people put

    Climate change isn’t debatable, I agree with that. But what is debatable,
    is if C02 is the cause of climate change. Every prediction, every computer
    model prediction were HUGELY false. The sun is mostly the cause of climate
    change and the burning of fossil fuels is very miniscule, but that won’t
    stop the sheep from lapping this propaganda up.

    The 97% consensus is a complete fallacy. That 2,500 IPCC connected
    scientists agreed climate change was man-made, when the actual number was
    only 25. In shock at the paltry numbers, the Univerisity of Illinois
    solicited 10,257 earth scientists with a measley 2 question online survey
    and only 77 took the survey! 77 out of 10,257 scientists took the 2
    question survey!! And 75 of the 77 scientists agreed with the two
    questions asked in the survey; That’s how they got their rediculous 97%
    consensus, lol! Anybody who believes that there is a 97% consensus is a
    fool just like that CNN anchor. Get a new cause you freaks; maybe start
    worrying about that radiated water from Fukushima washing up on the west
    coast.

    “we’re not going to be prepared for the future” – Michio Kaku. Millions
    are being affected worldwide by extreme and catastrophic weather. Should
    we be spending more time and energy responding to the situation, than
    debating? If so, what can we each do in response, preparation and
    amelioration of conditions that are likely to affect each of us at some
    point? http://www.GreatWavesOfChange.org

    The A.M.A. and Surgeons General testified in congress in 1969 that smoking
    causes lung cancer and nowadays scientists know that human actions are
    causing climate change. The tobacco industry testified before congress in
    1969 that the science was not settled due to the fact that they hadn’t
    caused lung cancer in any animal from cig smoke and now our fossil fuel
    interests are saying similarly that we haven’t done a scientific study on
    planets to prove that our actions cause climate change, so, science is not
    settled. I’m pleased to hear James Hansen solemnly declare that scientists
    who deny this are part of a “crime against humanity, and nature when they
    really know what is going on just to keep up their profits”. Forgive me
    for my own phraseology that they are crime committing criminal lying liars
    who tell us that we haven’t caused climate change nor can we do anything
    about it. This is just as if our leadership were telling people in a
    crowded theater, not fire, but rather that there is no fire so stay
    seated. Remember that restaurant fire a few years ago, the people stayed
    in their seats waiting to pay and tip before they left, they were following
    their social script, and they died for it. Society is this way with
    climate change, only its a harder problem than that. Our leaders are
    telling us to keep polluting, much less warning us to go sustainable. Lets
    work together in a neighborly way and mitigate this, and live well through
    to the new Anthropocene Epoch now that we are leaving the Holocene Epoch.

    The answer to this “man-made global warming” problem is for the warmists
    lapdogs to sterilize or depopulate themselves so they can reduce their
    “carbon footprint.” LOL! Get lives.. You CNN watching sheep are in the

    more to do with climate change than the burning of fossil fuels.

    They say climate change. They don’t say global cooling. They don’t say
    global warming. These alarmist started out trying to panic people about a
    coming ice age. When that didn’t get any traction they switched it to
    global warming. Now that even the UN has to admit that, there is no global
    warming, they are switching it to Climate Change. What does that even mean?
    Does it mean that the climate must be changing but they don’t know wether
    it is getting warmer or colder. Let’s face it. It’s a scam. The global
    warming guys don’t really want it colder. What they really want is a weapon

    Climate change is a natural occurrence, its been happening for about 4
    billion years. Attempts to blame humanity for it is patently absurd, like
    throwing a firecracker into a blazing building and blaming the firecracker
    for the damage. I know we should reduce pollution, even if only for
    ourselves; but forcing me to use cancer-causing lightbulbs will not “save

    The fossil fuel industry giants are winning. Through ideology and partisan
    politics they’ve convinced average people and implanted politicians to
    ignore the facts and pose the skeptical arguments for them. It’s truly
    saddening. The evidence is overwhelming, “in the scientific community it’s
    a settled question.” And, instead of debating ideas of solutions we’re
    debating the validity of proven science. Who gains from this? Well, those
    who profit from fossil fuels. Exxon Mobil, the American Petroleum
    Institute…, the very same corporations and groups that fund the opposing
    arguments like that of the NGIPCC. Those who somehow argue that humans have
    no negative effects on the globe are mind bogglingly naive.

    Fox, CNN, and all the corporate media is trying to spin this event into a
    debate. They don’t want their corporate sponsors to pull their ad money so
    they will cover the story in a different light. They will make it seem like
    they are trying to be fair, but in reality they just want the story to go
    away so they can keep making money.

    This reminds me of the dust bowl. People were warned not to over farm and
    destroy top soil as it serves as a protective barrier against the wind.
    Even as the sands where covering their land, the naysayers were still in
    denial….Sand, What sand?? This is just natural sand, the earth has always

    Before the flood we probably had a water layer in the atmosphere that fell
    out of suspension, causing the flood. I see global (warming) change as a
    possible step to return the water to the atmosphere. The basis for this
    thought can be found in Revelation. Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new
    heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had
    passed away, and the sea is no more.
