Global Warming, The Debate Continues

1100 views | 3 com. | 3 fav.

Rising temperatures, melting ice caps, monster hurricanes ù Is it scientific
reality or politically-motivated hysteria? FNC takes you inside the climate
change debate. David Asman reports on scientists who are skeptical of what they
view as alarmist fears about climate change. It's not that anyone doubts there
has been global warming. Even skeptics of the worst predictions agree that the
earth has been warming ù about one degree Fahrenheit in the last 100 years. The
question is: Is that enough to push us close to a catastrophic "tipping point,"
where all hell breaks loose? Also, how much of the warming is due to man? And if
man-made pollutants are to blame, what should we do to change our habits? These
are issues about which there is far more controversy among scientists than you
might think.

CO2, especially man-made CO2, is most definitely NOT responsible for the rise in global temperatures. If you look at Al Gore’s on graph in his documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, you can clearly see that the temperature changes before CO2 not the other way around as global warming fanatics say. CO2 is the effect, not the cause. That in itself puts the man made global warming theory in considerable doubt.

h2fcell, buying electric cars won't help much at all.. even if the man-made global warming theory is true, most of the electricity used to charge electric cars comes from coal anyway, which is CO2 intensive.

We need to "Stop buying or leasing NEW gasoline powered cars". Only then will the auto companies begin to sell electric, hybrid electric and fuel cell cars. The auto industry designs concept cars that can solve the high gas demand problem, but refuse to market them. We need Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Loss of revenue can make large companies, even the auto industries; change their "business model". Sure the government can help with legislation to force them to put out new technology, but the true power is in our hands. Stop buying or leasing NEW gasoline powered cars for a year. Tell everyone to wait a year.
I challenge any politician to urge the public to cease buying or leasing NEW gasoline powered cars.See my vids.

Thank you for sharing this video. In the beginning of this he says "...2005 was the hottest year on record.." Well, he spoke to soon eh?? Reports have come out that the hottest year on record (so far) in the US is now 2006. And Forecasters predict 2007 will be hotter, partly due to El Nino. While the overall temperature has increased 1 degree F, in Antarctica, it has increased 9 degrees! And the recent reports of what's happened in the Canadian Arctic as well as what is happening to the people in Alaska loosing their homes due to global warming. Warming is happening, as it has in history, but THIS time it may be happening too fast.
