@Bill...HOLOCAUST DENIER.

@Xi Gua...HOLOCAUST DENIER.

Update 3:

@Mark...HOLOCAUST DENIER.

Update 4:

@Pat...HOLOCAUST DENIER.

Update 5:

@BB...HOLOCAUST DENIER.

Update 6:

These headlines PROVE that weird weather NEVER occurred before 1970 and that any weird weather today PROVES that Global Warming is the cause. I am sick of Holocaust Deniers pretending that weird weather happened BEFORE 1970.

Update 7:

Oh, apparently these headlines are from 1950. This is a bit awkward.

NEVER MIND.

    i understand it really is difficult, yet you are able to't understand this complicated challenge by searching at temperatures. in simple terms understand this stuff and also you'd be ok: guy is causing this difficulty which will reason undesirable issues. it's going to make climate change...both hotter or less warm...we are able to confirm. all of it comes about from our wasteful life type and use of fossil fuels. u.s. causes the most damage. enormous company and SUV's are undesirable. Teepees and doing issues that make you sense like you're helping provide up global warming are reliable (you should purchase carbon credit to stay a carbon impartial life and also you are able to then burn as a lot carbon as you have chose, yet you'll nevertheless be doing reliable) Al Gore is smart. Republicans are dumb and mean lively. desire that enables. Your difficulty is you've been getting too slowed down interior the technological information end of it...leave that to the politicians and the experts.

    Is there any doubt cr is no more than 11yrs old at best. There are actually real reasons to trade in your hummer. Nobody has a problem with conservation and developing working alternatives for energy, this idiotic push to do it to save the planet is more destructive than the problem you think you might be solving.

    The point is clear hear, 60 years from now we are going to still be listening to the same alarmist bs, and the same arguments from alarmist now will be used to discredit the anti-science liar deniers.

    Yes, lots of doubt.

    Grab some headlines from the 60's and 70's and you will see nothing but references to the coming Ice Age.

    So what's your point. There is no perfect climate, it will get hot and it will get cold.

    You can't in your short life think that that is all there is to the Earth's climate.

    We may warm a few more degrees but there's nothing we can really do about it and if we think we can we may do something stupid and really screw it up.

    Only this morning I saw on CNN a weather reporter showing doctored graphs on how climate change is causing extreme weather, if you say it often enough and long enough, people will believe and except it as fact, even though it is B.S.

    Of course. In these times the elite class wish to make the average citizen feel responsible for global warming in order to limit people's rights and to tax them. In reality, if we are at all responsible for global warming then the responsibility is on BUSINESSES and regulation. The average citizens just participate with what's put in front of them. It's a bunch of crap. They decided in the 60s that the new way to control people is through this kind of propaganda.

    the world does not function by headlines. yo could probably find just as many headlines on the science being wrong.

    global warming exist on the foundation of science and measurements, not headlines.

    "He who controls the Gold controls the message".

    In response to AL:

    I would hope that you understand that emotions are easy to manipulate through catastrophes. Giving people honest and balanced information is far from the media's concern. They make news to draw attention to themselves. Yahoo News was guilty just the other day when they reported that the ex-cop's body (the one that vowed to kill 40 cops) was identified when, in fact, they hadn't. They sensationalize things to gain readers and subscribers. They play and prey on emotions.

    Oh! No! I almost traded in my Hummer^tm for a Smart Car. I am still kicking myself for that time when I bought fire insurance and my house didn't burn. And guess what they are wasting my tax money on a fire department, even though my house didn't burn.
