Haven't seen anyone posts things about the debate of global warming and I also wated to keep it out of the snowy tread. Hopefully, it will remain civil and not need to be moved to OD. Also, please try to keep Climate-Gate out of it as much as possible. Try to stick with the science.

So...what say you?

Well its because of global warming that its so cold. Wait a sec isn't global warming supposed to make the temperature go up not down?

how can you keep "climate-gate" out of it? thatz like voting for a baseball player and saying dont think about his 500 home runs and his 3000 hits. Climate-gate proves that there is no "global warming" imo. ps. just ask those in Buffalo, Chicago, alaska, lol

I am a simple man and don't know a lot bout Global Warming. I think that apparently there is holes in the Ozone that let harmful rays in from the sun that could melt the polar ice caps thus eventually causeing them to turn to water and flood part of the earth. Maybe most of the earth by some peoples thinking. But I know Gods promise via the rainbow to Noah that He won't flood the earth again...Reckon, I'll stick with what I know for now.

short answer check your sources

as a person studying for engineering these are my thoughts
1) Co2 composes .03 percent of our atmosphe
2) media needs to increase sales
3) Al Gore still wants to be president
4) Big buisness profits from "global warming"
-Ie selling hybrids and other novely items that can't compete with standard tech
5) Bias? definaitely
-were are the measurements being taken?
- who is paying them for the study
- how they manipulate their graphs
6) the sun dosen't provide consitant energy it changes
- could this be a factor that is causing the "global warming"
7) percent error below 10% accepted
-we can't forcast weather 4 weeks ahead of our current date how can they do 10+ years

Book to read State of Fear by Micheal Chriton sp (the guy who wrote jurrasic park)

about me
am i biased defainetly.
could i be wrong
-yes
do i have adegree in this subject
- no closest thing i have is bio 1 in college

I am the worst speller there is

Later
Dave

The reason I said that is because I wanted people to focus more on the science of the whole thing instead of what certain people hid (though I didn't say not to mention it at all because some people might bring up the facts that they supposedly hid).

Also...meet Frozen Gore

The hole in the ozone layer is a natural phenomenon. Every year it opens up over Antarctica, and then closes up again. Sounds more like something God put into play to let stuff out rather than something we should worry about letting stuff in.

I think it's nothing to worry about and actually doesn't exist it all. There was someone on Fox News about 2 months ago who did this whole special on how global warming, on a scientific level, doesn't make sense. It was really good.

Glenn Beck-Lord Monckton Debate Global Warming

Here it is. Watch 1:30-whenever he's done with the chalkboard.

Glenn Beck is a cracker. He's as bias as they come.

Tsavong Lah · « **Reply #12 on:** January 09, 2010, 01:24:32 AM »

Glenn Beck should stop bringing reasonable and educated sources onto his show... somehow, he makes them look less reasonable and educated.

Global warming isn't a bad thing. It'll increase food supply.

What's wrong with that? He doesn't pretend to be a newscaster. He states his opinion. But the person he had on his show has done a lot of things against global warming.

I'll second that

When you are bias, you tend to only represent your viewpoint. And in his case, he also presents the opposition's viewpoint as ridiculous, false, bull, etc.

So then how do you get information? A different news station?

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #19 on:** January 10, 2010, 01:02:59 AM »

First, one can have a bias or be biased. One cannot be bias.

Second, Beck is a pundit, not a reporter. Why should it be his job to try to convince people that the side he disagrees with is valid?

Third, Beck uses sources to back up his claims. You can debate the validity of his sources, but he's not just running his mouth.

Fourth, Beck is hilarious.

I'm Brandon West, and I endorse the above message.

Also, if you're watching TV for unbiased news, I feel sorry for you.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #22 on:** January 10, 2010, 10:08:42 AM »

While I agree with your poitns Pol, I am merely pointing out that using him as a source that "Global warming is bad" would be akin to using Hitler as a source that Jews are bad. While one of those is true and one of them is not, that doesn't negate the fact that the sources you cited were not very reliable and not very openminded.

I don't watch TV for unbiased news, but I also don't watch it to have my viewpoint reinforced.

You do have to divine whether he was citing Beck or the scientist who was on his show.

I fixed it for you, Pol. There wasn't a scientist on the show. There was Glenn Beck and two conservative politicians.
