If you read this you will have contributed to the warming of our planet March 22, 2007

I thought I might address this in lieu of Gore’s recent congressional testimony. This video below exemplifies his opposition’s stance.
Countless experts. Conflicting conclusions. But then, I am pro-choice and in favor of same-sex marriages so I should remain loyal to those dang crazy ecoliberals vomiting their dang blasphemous rhetoric. Isn’t it clear? The global warming movement is communism dressed in green and it’s imperative we create a united, bipartisan front against this disastrous hoax.
Hmm,
Well is it a political or moral issue? Are we responsible for climate change or is this our planet running its natural course? Is global warming a left-wing conspiracy? Maybe, maybe not. Although what I do know is we have another issue and a respective million folks reaching conclusions on it based mostly on their gut + bais news. How exactly does a person arrive at a decision regarding global warming —that they would die by— only after watching ‘Inconvient Truth’ or this Global Warming Swindle clip?
Let’s not get naive and forget 99% of everything has spin, let us not take propaganada’s effectiveness for granted now. Not only does it influence what I think but it often successfully distracts me from the issue all together. Arriving at a reasonable, more appropriate conclusion for myself —a person who doesn’t understand the polar winds or the the evolution of the ice caps— becomes rather hopeless. Let’s say we are not responsible for global warming. When exactly did we decide pollution needs activists?
Why not find an alternative fuel source? Exactly what is all the need for such furious rejection of global warming (unless you enjoy taking a particular stance for the hell of it)? I agree that the truth is important, but why not a cleaner Earth? The cost-benefit of converting could be economically disastrous but then why not a gradual, non-debilitating turnover? How about we just be happy that this issue is getting attention and being debated. You know, this video would probably be more convincing if Paul Driessen, Paul Retier, Roy Spencer, Patrick Michaels, Tim Ball, Fred Singer, Ian Clark, and Richard Lindzen (the dudes on this video) weren’t associated with right-wing lobby groups like Tech Central Science, Cato, Fraser Institute, Frontiers of Freedom, heartland institute, and National Center for Policy… all of which received funding from Exxon. But I guess that doesn’t really change anyone’s opinions about anything.
Maybe the major oil corporations have realized our oil supplies are diminishing fast so they instigated all this global warming fuss to scare us into turning green…because they’ve already invested in green technologies in preparation [cue thunder sound effect].
Very interesting post. I do agree with you, that a majority of arguments today have spin on them, which makes me realize that your claims of ties to right-wing lobby groups and Exxon must be propaganda as well.
But when trying to find middle ground in all the lies, and develop my own decision, I tend to believe scientist’s like Roy Spencer, who have received multiple awards, and have over 15 accredited articles specific to global warming, rather than believe a man whose energy consumption is 20 times the national average.
Companies today are investing billions in hybrid cars and I feel that we will see an increase in that spending in the future as well. We are slowing becoming greener, and relying less on oil, but it’s going to take some time!

Today 11 climate experts sent a letter (please see below) to Senator John McCain (R-AZ) who is the Chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation committee and is holding a full committee hearing this morning to hear testimony on the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA). The following climate experts signed the letter: yadda, yadda,yadda, Roy W. Spencer, PhD Principal Research Scientists, The University of Alabama in Huntsville

Roy’s a Tech Central Bio Statition who may have created some faulty information regarding his data

Spencer also has ties to the George C. Marshall Institute. Beyond his criticism of global warming theory, Spencer has also taken up another cause that places him well outside the scientific mainstream — his view that “intelligent design, as a theory of origins, is no more religious, and no less scientific, than evolutionism.”
Regarding the George C. Marshall Institute,

Again, I don’t subscribe to kyoto, gore, roy, or any other individual off the bat.. awards or not. Interestingly enough, during Gore’s congressional testimony mainly Republicans (and from those, mainly Republican Texans) seemed to care so much about debunking Gore. …and Roy did appear on Limbaughs show recently
. My only concern is that if I asked you whether Roy Spencer was a Republican or Democrat…what would your gut tell you …Why is that?
Argueing with Global Warming reminds me of a time when I would argue with my mom over the purpose of cleaning my room.
Let’s compromise. I’ll agree its a hoax if you all agree that we should take responsibility for our Planet by curtailing the irrefutable pollution issues which exist now.
http://www.exxonsecrets.org/ = propaganda.
save the earth!
Global Warming Swindle = propaganda.
…so what now?
As we go back and forth all day,
we become successfully distracted from any issue of substance!
Well, I do agree with finding an alternative fuel source, for the sake of using an alternative fuel source! It’s that I simply find it hard to believe that over the past 400 years our world has increasing gotten warmer, and that we are to blame. Who says it’s not our world evolving?!
the world is flat!
