Another scientists busted for faking global warming evidence,?
can we stop that farce now.
http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=1417...
A federal wildlife biologist whose observation in 2004 of presumably drowned polar bears in the Arctic helped to galvanize the global warming movement has been placed on administrative leave and is being investigated for scientific misconduct, possibly over the veracity of that article.
Charles Monnett, an Anchorage-based scientist with the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, or BOEMRE, was told July 18 that he was being put on leave, pending results of an investigation into "integrity issues." But he has not yet been informed by the inspector general's office of specific charges or questions related to the scientific integrity of his work, said Jeff Ruch, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.

Good, now let's put the rest of these charlatans in jail for malfeasance in public office.
devastating earthquakes??? What have earthquakes to do with Global Warming, is there nothing for which we don't blame GW?

Global warming is a scam which is being proven more and more each day. What do scamers try and do? Take your money. Look at how much money is being spent on this "issue" that isn't even real. Just today they NASA folks have found that much more heat is escaping from earth than the computer models show and what was thought before. It also is talking about how CO2 isn't all that bad and that we as humans aren't really causing all that much. The volcano last year in island spewed out more CO2 than all of earth did probably for several years worth. In just a few days. Its not all that hot this year in america that is oh sure the TV folks tell you it is but you know what we didn't break all that many records. But if they keep telling you its "record high temps" your going to believe them even when they didn't break any records or even come close in some cases.
Follow the money and you find the REAL reason for the global warming hoax. if Al gore and the rest of the leaders of this scam believed it they wouldn't live in mansions and fly jets and drive SUVs all over the place.
EDIT: I love how the idiot J L things that earthquakes are part of global warming wow

integrity issues could mean anything though?
Also I don't see how drowned polar bears in the Arctic has galvanised the global warming movement? Global climate change is a FACT. If you don't believe in global climate change you don't believe in the laws of physics. Now the earths climate has always been changing and goes through various cycles. It has in the past (e.g The Eocene) been a lot hotter than it is today globally. It has also been a lot colder in the past. If you deny that global climate change exists then your denying that the last ice age happened. Also your denying that all the glacial valleys throughout the world that now don't have glaciers in them (e.g the entire of northern scotland) magically got created.
Now AGW is a much more complicated issue. CO2 affects climate its a thermodynamic fact that it traps heat. We have pushed the levels of CO2 into the atmosphere far beyond that which they should be naturally (and we can work out from the past what they should be now from the various cycles of CO2 through time). But you have to remember that its not just CO2 that changes climate. Changes in land use, deforestation, desertification, General changes to the earths albido through our changes to the environment all affect climate. Infact there is a huge list of things that we do that affect the climate. However CO2 is the biggest problem because it is the one that we are changing very rapidly and the natural system will have to adjust. How does it adjust well you have increased extreme weather events etc etc.
Even if you deny AGW you CANNOT deny climate change. It is going to happen even if we DONT affect it (which we do). So we need to focus on how we are going to adapt to our rapidly changing climate.
P.S. This will also fall on deaf ears but the majority of posters on here seem to be from the USA. Just to point out the entire planet does not revolve around the USA so a change in GLOBAL climate is a GLOBAL problem.

If you watch the news, check online news sources, or read newspapers, one can see that since this incident with the hackers support for human-caused global warming has increased. The propaganda is spreading since the leak that I am sure it is an attempt to make people forget about the leaks and continue spreading disinfo such as global warming being caused by humans. Just a few days ago, Los Angeles Times ran an article in FAVOR of the carbon tax. It's unbelievable.

I also read that the increasd heat was caused my dark spots on the sun and not necesarily but carbondioxide, thought we should probobly still bear that in mind.
But i dont think the reasons is a important as the consequnce since right now it can go rather bad if it keeps getting warmer since if the polar ice melts and enough fresh wather gets into the ocean currents might stop working and we might be facing a new ice age

Never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

No, there is no proof that it is fake. Your best bet is to behave like the AGW deniers (remember, they aren't Holocaust deniers) you see here answering your question and lie about it as convincingly as you can. Hopefully you'll do better than the poor job that they are making of it.

The global warming con artists will do anything for their grant money and to push up ecotaxes. They should all be jailed!! I have found that virtually everyone on here that supports global warming is in some way connected with the industry!!!

I did not know that we had a BOEMRE thing.
Now my life can continue, thank you.
I just looked that up at CBO , what a hoot.
That is part of DOI, I use to be in DOI. We prevented forest fires from spreading.
But only YOU can prevent a forest fire.
