Why are so many people angry about global warming, if it reduces our need for coal and oil?

Wow, what a great question! The only reason I can think of is that some of the main deniers of global warming, like our President and a few of his buddies, have ties to the coal and oil industries, and don't want to hurt the business of their friends. So they keep pushing these dirty fossil fuels to squeeze every last dime they can from them while there's still time.

Then apparently there's a small group of people in this country who just blindly follow the positions of their favorite politicians, and therefore adopt the same stance as they do regarding this issue.

If people could just understand what trying to find ways to free ourselves from fossil fuels could do, I don't think there'd be an objector in the entire country! First it would help the environment. Second we could essentially give the bird to the entire middle east because we wouldn't need their oil anymore. Finally if we develope energy technologies to replace fossil fuels, we could market and sell these technologies to the rest of the world, giving a HUGE boost to our economy in the process!

You're out of your mind!

It's not that having the world warmer means we don't have to heat our homes. It means we won't have food to eat because global warming affects the most fundamental portions of the food chain.

It kills plankton that supports fish. It causes drought which means bad news for farming. It has already affected 3rd world countries that lack water resources. The only reason America is able to feed itself is due to advanced irrigation. If you haven't heard, much of the western US has been in a drought for the last decade. Georgia is suffering drought this year as well.

By the way, think about what we will do if the temperature goes up? We will start using our Air conditioners. Air conditioners are an extreme drain on our energy resources. releasing heat is easy. But burning coal to run Air conditioners that are supposed to cool things down is a big drain that only exacerbates global warming.

And we don't always use oil to heat our homes. Only in desperate situations. Even if global warming were to spiral out of control I'm sure we'd still drive our cars. We'd still be the Oil Sheiks B****es.

Of those 24000 deaths you site how about naming 10?People are angry because Global Warming is a fraud designed by the socialists to transfer money from the west to the east.

Im not saying that I believe that global warming is actually happening and Im not saying its not.

I did hear that in some more impoverashed places in the world, they are getting alot less rain so they arnt getting there crops (food) and are lacking in drinking water. They are starving. I cant stand the thought of a starving child or mother or elderley man.

i feel that untill the people of the entire planet unite for the benifit of each other and mother earth,including the governments of all countrys it will stay a debate,a question as you ask.until we can look at each other as fellow humans without fear of racisim,scams,profit,we will always have issues.procrastanation of mother earth will make us extinct.

Because the guru's of the movement are lying to us. Gore, in particular

Nice try.
