i hope the global warming crowd are proud of themselves. scaring children and the dimwitted into believing its their fault.

people as a whole need to be more skeptical of what theyre fed, by both sides. look shit up for yourself, rather than believing what fuck heads like al gore tell you.

Maybe most of the scientists in the world are wrong. But what if they are not? Doing something about it is not as difficult as everyone fears. And small changes can havea huge impact on the habitability of the planet in the centuries to come.

Stossel is the man, Ron Paul has even mentioned him as a possible running mate, if he makes it to the primaries. On a side note, why was my video of John Edwards` slit eye`s deleted. That`s my first ever upload deleted, so now I`m thinking maybe there is something to it. Why Admin? It had a 3.5 rating on 30 votes last time I checked, and over 6 comments[most positive]. What was the problem?

Lets fact check some of Stossel`s "facts":

World Conservation Union on Polar Bears:
http://www.iucn.org/places/canada/pdf/news06/north%20america%20pack
age.pdf

It seems to me the IUCN paints a pretty negative picture on the future for polar bears. Of course Stossel never disagreed he just brushed it off into the way future. But he is certainly disingenuous about the matter.

And the USGS:
http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/special/polar_bears/docs/executive_summ
ary.pdf

Check out the overall conclusion on page 2...it seems pretty bleak to me.

I would also encourage anyone to research the names of the skeptics appearing on the show. From what I have seen they may not get $$ from business, but they do get $$ from think tanks funded by big business. I seriously doubt that picture painted of a 1992 car and leaky apartment.

What I hate about this stuff is that both sides never go deep into the facts, but you can`t really blame them...the facts are boring as shit. Ever see a scientific journal on global climate change data? SNOOZE!

But if the scientists on Stossel`s show had any merit they could site their own peer-reviewed studies published in scientific journals...but I didn`t see any of that. The key being peer-reviewed...so the people competing for your funding get to shoot all the holes they can in your research. It`s how it was eventually shown the atmospheric research by Christy and Spencer was eventually found to be wrong. Its not a bad thing, its what is great about science.

What else should I rant about...oh yeah Gore. I give Gore credit for making an OK movie out of a boring subject (also it had a Futurama clip in it). I don`t know if it is Nobel Prize worthy credit but whatever. From what I recall about the huge sea level rise, was a specific situation where ice in Greenland or Iceland slipped into the ocean...and I seem to recall Gore saying it had a low probability. He certainly wasn`t saying it was inevitability as Stossel suggested. And Stossel`s whole straw man argument about asking kids questions then trying to prove them wrong is retarded.

AND IN CONCLUSION...I wonder if there is a limit on how much I can type...anyway...

Stossel blows...you can`t believe a damn thing he says...do the boring research yourself if you can stomach it (as well as hefty journal subscription fees). Sometimes I can get back issues of Science for 10 cents at library sales, I have seen plenty of articles on how global climate change is caused by man...have yet to see one on the other side...maybe it is just a huge scientific conspiracy of people that compete with each other ALL THE TIME...and Stossel managed to find the only honest scientists left.

See the documentary that I uploaded on it (73 minutes) if you`re interested to learn more about the possibility that global warming is a complete fabrication in order to push more taxes upon the common man:

Yes, Im doing a project on Media Alarmism particularily with Global Warming. Fear means better ratings for the Major Media Stations.

Im sure when Earth`s natural flucuations bring the temperature down the Media world will shit themselves and claim the Earth is going to freeze because of us.

Thanks Ark, as usual great post and I think Im going to show this to my class when I present my research.

glad to see it dodges all research. any geologist knows global warming is occuring...all you have to do is take a sample of any given glacier and bam, you have a detailed record of temperature and CO2 levels. they`re unprecedented *right now*.

It`s *very likely* that mankind is the reasonf or this, seeing how we`re the only new factor in teh geological record. However, regardless of whether we are responisble or not, it`s *still* happening and it *still* needs to be dealt with.

afterall, all that oil we`re burning? where do you thnk all that carbon came from? it used to be all in our atmosphere, which was at the time *poisonous* to most animals. It took millions of years of microbes and plant life to turn store it into the eart, and now we`re putting it right back out there, reversing the process.

fan-fucking-tastic.

The emphasis is we`re (humans) are the leading cause. That`s simply not true. We`re a contributing factor that IS speeding this particular cycle of global warming up at an alarming rate. And don`t forget about all the other destruction we cause by polluting the Earth and the atmosphere. A time lapse video of any given sunrise to sunset in LA and Hong Kong shows the devastating effects of our need to burn things.

Everyone just loves to jump on the fucking Global Warming Band Wagon for some self satisfaction. It`s the natural progression of the earth that`s simply continuing as time goes on.. and on... and on... the planet is roughly 4.5 billion years old.
That`s 4,500,000,000. We`ve been around in a technical age that would effect the planet for what, well lets just ball park it and say 300 years? That`s still 50 years before the first documented use of coal energy. That means our time on the planet can be summed up as roughly 0.0000006% of it`s life. I`m sure we are adding to it, and it`s great that people are going more green. However this fucking scare tactic that the US is OBSESSED with is fucking annoying. No matter what, even if we never existed "Global Warming" would occur.. we likely sped it up by 2 or 3 years.. hell that might even be pushing it.
But hey, there`s a lot of money to be made for people and that`s what its` all about. Profiting off peoples fears, that`s how it began and that`s how it will continue to go. It`s fucking sickening really.. but perhaps if I pretend I believe all the shit we`re force fed I can find a way to get on the pay roll.

GREAT video. if youre more interested, check out "the great global warming swindle". And for those who say "WELL EVEN IS SCIENTISTS ARE WRONG, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING" need to see that the government is going to use this against us, by first taxing the poor into complete poverty with a carbon tax, and then eventually probably saying "THERE IS TOO MUCH CARBON DIOXIDE BECAUSE (HUMANS) ARE BREATHING TOO MUCH, YOU NEED TO SAVE THE EARTH BY LETTING US KILL MOST OF YOU, ITS THE EARTHS ONLY HOPE!!!!!!!!!!"

If Al Gore says Carbon Dioxide increases global warming, then what produces the most carbon dioxide? Plants. So let`s go and cut down all the trees and we`ll be fine. Right?

Why won`t Al Gore be interviewed by 20/20? Because he can`t be questioned or we`ll find out he`s full of shit. He will only stand on a stage or make a movie to spread his own propaganda and never want us to hear the other side.

Al Gore is doing this to line his own pockets. pure and simple. Where did all the money gothat he got from winning his nobel prize and all the donations from his bullshit concert? His own foundation. Gee, how convenient.

And lastly, why is this rated so low? Any time someone post fox news scaring people about terrorism, Spiked viewers are up in arms and saying that is all the republicans do is scare us into voting for them. Why aren`t you guys saying the same damn thing after seeing this video.

Al Gore is a douche.
