We are supposed to take whatever sources you present with an open mind and the benefit of the doubt but you and your side never afford the same courtesy.

More "do as I say, not as I do" liberalism.
So the UN is part of your conspiracy theory...Do I have that right?...You may as well say that anyone who believes the science, including the scientists, governments, and anyone else who disagrees with you is also part of it....Time now to whine about Al Gore.....

There is no debate...Global warming is real and it is happening now.

The bulk of Gore's wealth did not come from his stance on global warming.... How Gore became as rich as Romney- MSN Money

Anytime someone brings up Al Gore in a discussion on climate change, they are scientifically illiterate. They've shifted the argument away from science to something their fevered minds feel more comfortable discussing.

I would say the percentage of climate change skeptics who actually have a clue about science are around 5% of the skeptic crowd. The people like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and other shrieking midgets, themselves without a clue, can convince such a large percentage of people to not believe in basic science shows how conservatives have shifted the message from one about science to one about conspiracy, economics, or politics, three subjects that scientifically illiterate conservative goobers feel more comfortable discussing than they would about science.

And yet, you have known liars that have zero credibility on the side of the global warming, and climate change conspiracy theories. Why should I or anyone believe the UN, or obama, and all the others crooks, and thieves in this big heist?

This is like so many other hazards we have faced.... The story of how millions of tons of lead, a potent neurotoxin, were spewed into the environment and people's blood for 60 years ranks beside tobacco in the annals of corporate crime in America. Oil companies paid scientists to deny the hazards of leaded gas....Tobacco companies paid scientists to deny the hazards of smoking.... Now we have scientists being paid by corporations to deny the hazards and costs of global warming....

It all makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with people....Are humans really this suicidal?
What mess?

How do you know what's going to happen? Are you clairvoyant? Are the scientists? Their predictions have been consistently wrong. It stopped warming over 17 years ago. It has been warmer in the past. less disease, longer growing seasons.

I have a daughter and I know the earth will be in good shape.

Curb your hysteria and paranoia.

al-Gore is the catalyst for the current warmers hysteria.

Why he is brought up.

Notice he has been quiet lately. He surfaces every now and then to stock the warmers fires of paranoia.

The bottom line it fattens his pocket book.

Warmers are such tools.

The Anarctic ice cap is at an all time high since measurements began. Is this caused by global warming? LOL.
