It IS all about controlling the people of the world by the Elitists.
They pound the PROPAGANDA drums day and night.....and if you take "any" subject and do this "Long enough", then eventually people will start believing it.
The U.N. and the wacko politicians in America are the Kings Of.....PROPAGANDA......
I'm sick and tired of their lies....lies...lies....

A change in the climate happens every second of the day. But imagine if manhatten or london where under water what would happen to the property prices? citys have been built on the most fertile lands which would naturaly flood. Citys where built with the old thought, nature could be tamed or beaten. The problem is we can not win fighting nature the more we try the greater the cost. Usually in lives lost. So we are being conned. just follow the money and see where it leads. Why sould we recycle plastic. Plastic is a by product of the petro chemical companies (that is one place the money goes) leve it in the earth we don't need it. and if we do we have stolen more than enough for our needs.

No! Don`t kid yourself, as terrible as it seems we are facing a major threat to our existence on this earth.
I live in a postion where I see major colonies of seabirds failing to breed year after year as the sea warms up and the food suppliy moves to colder places. I see tides higher more often and higher than since records began. My neighbours can no longer get their houses insured against floods due to rising sea levels. Whole areas of land are secretly being planned to be abondoned to the sea.
This is real and not a con. I see it and live with the consequences every day.
Get out more. Look around you. Take notice. In your lifetime the time will come when it is impossible to deny the man made global climate chinge is a fact.

Yes we are, we are only hearing from scientists who are getting research money to proof that climate change is man made and that it is all the United States fault. Most of the pollution controls are aimed aggressively at the United States and give a free pass to the Countries like India and China who are close to or have exceeded the annual output of the United States.

Yup - it truly is all a scam. For years and years environmentalists were omitted and ridiculed till some brilliant spark realised that the 'eco-friendly' argument replaced into an excellent thanks to implement more advantageous taxes / costs 'for the more advantageous good' The climate is replacing, it incredibly is basic - yet replacing because of human interest? No. enable me comprehend at what aspect contained in the perfect 4 billion years has the elements no longer been replacing.

Some are, but I am not. I have been alive long enough to have seen the changes. In the 70's the scientists were promising ice ages that would finish us off. Then in the early 90's they promised we would all die from either high temps. or drowning because the ice shelf would melt. Now they say that the earth's temperature has not gone up since 1998 and that we may be in the beginning of a cooling trend.

I do not think we are being conned. But i think getting our Adrenalin up
about it will not fix any thing. And we alone cannot change it over night.
It would take all the country's on this planet working together to make the kind of change needed. Hell we can't even have peace . So how long due YOU think it will take?

Yes we ARE only getting one side of the story. When the facts are presented Global Warming ALWAYS falls short. Check out the global warming debate on google video

No.
It's better to act now, than act too late, or be ignorant, and do nothing.
Why would scientists put such time, energy, money and resources into researching, studying, examining and discussing the environment, et cetera, if Climate Change/Global Warming wasn't actually happening/occuring?

Look at what the data says, not computer models, politicians or the media. There is nothing fundamentally wrong in looking after the environment, but this panic about climate is unfounded.
Sea levels rise and fall, climate always changes. It would take thousands of years to melt continental ice and melting sea ice has no effect on sea level at all.
People always have to have something to panic about.
Again - look at the data, not who peer reviews what or what anyone on here says. See the evidence for yourself, it's honestly the best way.

I am 78 and the climate has fought a good fight.Sense U can not measure it how can U prove it or deny.There are changes that are caused by the other planets.The moore of them on one side will pull the sun's corona near us.There are many cycles and harmonics of the cycles.
