I'm Brian A. Maloney and I approve this message.The earth is warming!
True – the earth is warming.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says the global average surface temperature increased about 0.6 degrees Celsius over the twentieth century.
The earth is warming because of us!
Uhh…maybe
If our fossil-fuel burning is responsible for the warming, something doesn’t add up. Half of the global warming of the past century happened from 1900 to 1945. If man is responsible, why wasn’t there much more warming in the second half of the century? We burned much more fuel during that time. What about that? Huh? You don’t hear the environmental alarmists talking about it…
The planet is just in a gradual warming trend, coming out of what scientists call the “Little Ice Age,” which ended in the 1800s. Our climate has always undergone changes, and it’s presumptuous to think humans’ impact matters so much in comparison to the frightening geologic history of the earth. A graph of temperatures over the last four thousand years shows today’s warming isn’t such a big deal. We, humans, really need to get over ourselves.
There will be storms, flooded coasts, and huge disruptions in climate!
Probably not
FEARMONGERING!!!
Schoolchildren are being taught and are scared that America is dying in a sea of pollution and cities will soon be under water.
The National Resources Defense Council has lawyers (surprise…an environmental group with more lawyers than scientists) running around warning that sea levels will rise, flooding coastal areas. Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense. Droughts and wildfires will occur more often. On and on and on and on and on and on……
WOW! We’re screwed!!
You thought Y2K was bad….
Wait it wasn’t…..
Exactly.
The Association of American Geographers has reported that melting Arctic ice won’t raise sea levels any more than the melting ice in your drink makes your glass overflow. The Arctic ice cap is a floating chunk of….ice. It’s not a land mass adding to water.
What about the melting glaciers of Greenland?
Glad you asked. In 2005 Norwegian, Russina, and American scientists issued a report that said Greenland’s ice was thickening, not melting.
Hmm…..
What about the scary claims about heat waves and droughts being brought about by all the high-tech computer models?
Ever watch the local evening news and watch the weather forecast? Ever see all their high-tech gadegtery and computer models and Doppler 23,000 X Viper Extravagaza 10 day forecast? How "accurate" and "right on" they always are?
Computer models are horrible at predicting climate because water vapor and cloud effects cause changes that computers fail to predict. Did you know in the mid-70s the computer models, warned us of a global cooling? The fundamentalist doom mongers also ignore scientists who say the effects of global warming may be benign. Harvard astrophysicist Sallie Baliunas says added CO2 in the atmosphere may actually benefit the world because more CO2 helps plants grow. Warmer winters would give farmers a longer harvest season, and might end the drought in the Sahara desert.
Responsible citizens of the globe doing our part to protect the earth and its resources?
Yes
Freak out and cry doom and gloom?
Ridiculous.

Paid for by the committee to stop the FEARMONGERING!!

I raise my Mountain Dew in salute to you sir...ridiculous and irresponsible, but who wants to lose their grant money?...so they'll keep crying wolf, only everyone will listen and pass laws and treaties that will cost a MASSIVE amount of money, and have little IF ANY effect on global temperatures.
Allow me to be the second person to shake your hand on this responsible post! A few years ago there was a question as to the legitimacy of global warming. I think it is an issue worth studying, but I do think it ridiculous to blame people and pass laws about controlling the weather.
Maybe someday.
Not today.
Allow me to be the third person.
If we can heat the Earth, why are we powerless against hurricanes, tornado, floods, Wal*Mart, and so on.
You are right, Gary. We are full of ourselves. But, follow the money--that will explain everything.
