The world that U see around U, is the same that Lives within U. So, if U have some thing to say about the world, don’t forget that U are indirectly talking about ur self, because the World is the the product of what we do with our lives

J couldn’t be more right about Al Gore’s hypocrisy. Even if you are pro environment, you can admit that he is completely full of it. He is using the environment to make money and become more popular, he is feeding off the publics concern about global warming. Yes, the US accounts for 5% of the population, but because we are a more democratic than most nations, we have more money and therefore can afford to use more energy. It is true that alternative energy sources would be beneficial for both the economy and environment, but because this is a democracy, regulations shouldn’t be enforced. Bush refused to sign Kyoto, but several states chose to follow it on their own accord. This doesn’t seem like he needed to sign it, because people willing followed it without regulations. This shows that people are more helpful when given a choice.

Jeff, Gore isn’t using renewable energy, he is using energy that is generated by his local utility, which burns coal. If it stopped burning coal, today, Gore would automatically be using less electricity because of brownouts\blackouts. The Gore mansion apparently uses around 190,000 KWH per year, while the average home uses around 10,000 KWH per year. Maybe if the average consumer reduced his use by 10,000 KWH per year, Gore might be motivated to do the same…that is, 190,000 minus 10,000 =180,000 KWH per year versus 10,000 minus 10,000 = 0 KWH per year. See how that works?

The celebrities (usually liberals) that will play in Live Earth are even worse hypocrites, flying around on private jets, while suggesting that the rest of us are using too much energy. Inhofe is right, Live Earth IS a partisan event.

Al gore is crazy JUST WATCH SOUTH PARK the one about manbearpig i wouldent be surpurised if he does belive in manbearpig.

Wow…i got to say, what a bunch of dumb a$$es.

Your country uses 20-25%% of the worlds resources, and you represent 5% of the population. It is pretty clear that this is out of wack.

Someone suggests it might be a good idea to slow the f&ck down and look out for the enviornment a little, maybe even think about making some new policies that help sort it out, and you get pissed.

Hmm. Sounds like you are all a bunch of selfish pricks…crying like little babies when someone says you have to take some responsibility for your actions.

I don’t think anybody is disputing that it’s warming…There’s a disagreement about why it’s warming.

Something that bothers me about the whole naysaying to the idea of global warming thing is this:

If global warming is indeed a hoax, what’s the harm with putting these policies in place? Whether the world is warming up or not, it seems like lowering pollution emissions is a good thing no matter how you slice it.

Enough stupid arguments. I have a serious question about the oceans involvement in all this. What is our current CO2 saturation level? Soluability of CO2 DECREASES with an increase in temperatute. Could clobal warming actually cause increased CO2levels. Is there a feed back loop? Would the reverse process trigger an ice age? What caused the dramatic decreases in CO2 that followed previous peaks, and would we want to live through such a “correction”. Some scientists have suggested that the ocean is currently acting as a “sink” for atmospheric CO2. If this is correct than things will get worse once the oceans are saturated. Does anyone have even a sketch of global oceanic CO2.

Who benefits? For one, the scientists/researchers who want the billions and billions of dollars in research money. Secondly, the far left wing environmentalists who see America and other industrialized nations as evil.

They warned the levees would break. Nobody listened. Now they warn the end of the world is on the way if we don’t change. Nobody listens. Good one America.

So if Global Warming is a hoax, then who benefits? What is the motive?
That hoax argument makes no sense.

If you think Global Warming is Bullsh*t (or GWB for short), then please explain some motive here.

————————– ——-

The motive is simple. Power, and control. Gore aka chicken little wants both, as do the evironmentalist. This is nothing more than another leftist attempt at socailism. And like every left wing crisis the answer is always taxes and redistribution of income. Funny thing that chicken little tries to compare himself to Galileo. Galileo went against the sceintific consensus, chicken little on the other hand screams the debate is over because he has a consensus, and the gw crowd tries to silence any opposition.

Gore is a hypocrite.

Right! Like I’m gonna take advice from some hippies. Save yourselves.

The location of the concert doesn’t really matter. What matters is that the concerts raise awareness of what lies ahead for the future of humankind.

Overpopulation is the real problem.

Anyone who thinks we can continue to increase the population, spew more and more filth into the atmosphere, and consume the Earths natural resources at increasingly larger proportions is just plain wrong, regardless of what they think of global warming.

has there ever been anything good, smart, cool, come from ok as the license plate says. oral roberts, largest slaughterhouse west of mississippi and oh yeah only capital city with oil well downtown and now this senator who sounds as bent as the young trees along highway both caused by way too much hot air and wind.

It’s a shame that this discussion got hi-jacked by people getting angry at one another for having different opinions. If some of you have to act like degenerates towards one another, than you shouldn’t be debating. That defeats the purpose of debating issues, and no one is using education to debate GW, and you end up going through the same cycle that already exists in the political realm. Shame, Shame…
How about instead of insulting one another and getting angry, we really discuss rather or not GW is serious or not…

Heymoon…before you go calling people stupid you should learn how smart people spell “hoax”.Or is hoak the way smart people spell it?Damn it! Now I’m having flash back’s of that liberal elitest I had for an english professor in collage.I’m so …what is the word..confuzed?

I give up……

Philadelphia. Why? LIVE AID and LIVE 8. Need I say more.

Yo Blinked,

Al Gore has indeed “bitched” at China. And China is responding quite well actually. They’ve made enormous progress. Just thought you should know that.

Also, Canada, Switzerland, Japan, the UK, Italy, France and Germany all have better recycling and waste disposal programs than the US. I mentioned Canada first because, frankly, their efforts toward recycling put the rest of the world to shame. You ever heard of recycling the bones from your buffalo chicken wings? Well, the Canucks are doing it in every household. The US is not even CLOSE to being a leader on environmental issues.

I hate people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Have it in philadelphia.

To my dear friend “Read Me,”
Let me make it clear to you: I am no Republican/Conservative or Democrat/Liberal. I do not support President Bush, nor do I approve of the mismanaging of the Iraqi War. I do believe that helping and caring for the environment is important. What I don’t like is someone like Al Gore, who I see to be a fraud and mentally deranged, to be pushing an agenda he has no business pushing. Blaming America for the world’s environmental problems is absurd, especially wen we are the best country when it comes to controlling our waste and we recylce more than anyone. Why doesn’t Gore bitch to countries like China, who are some of the worst polluters in the world? Plus, he uses more electricity than the average American consumer does because he has a bigger house. Well, why doesn’t he get a smaller home? He enjoys riding on private jets everywhere he goes, when he could take regular flights to limit the number of planes in the air at one time. Pretty much, Gore wants YOU to change your lifestyle and the way you live, but not him. He and his wife are both frauds because they went against the entire Hollywood/Music industry, and now they align themselves with them who are people who are either high school dropouts or on drugs. Wow, what a way to get your “educated” audience. Point blank, Gore is pathetic. He’s doing the same thing Bush does, trying to play on people’s fears. That isn’t irresponsible? And, unlike you, I am sure I get a much better and well-rounded view of the different issues in the world, including Global Warming. Sorry buddy, it doesn’t look good for the Global Warming freaks of the world. Some things, I may fall under “conservative”, others even “liberal” which may shock you. Perhaps I should have said liberalism is a mental disorder while conservatism is annoying. A little more fair and balanced for your pathetic ranting. Do the world a favor: get an education, get off the drugs, put down the booze, and grow the fuck up. Oh, if you do manage to read this post once your mind has sobered up, how come you can’t answer my simple questions of how did the last ice age end, and how could it be that Mars is also experiencing a climate change similar to Earth, since their ice caps are melting to? Hmm, interesting. NASA has also said that the climate change is due to the Sun actually getting warmer, making nearby planets to have some changes in climate. There is also some evidence suggesting that underwater ocean volcanoes have been more active recently. I think it’s time to ask Jaws to stop driving his Lincoln Navigator down there, huh? I’m not against the concert either though, as long as they don’t turn it into some lecture.

Matt, I am not blaming Repubs for everything, but i am blaming them for the disinfomation campaign that they have been running for the last few years in regard to Global Warming. If you don’t think that Inhofe and the Republicans aaren’t playing politics by blocking permits to hold the concert in DC, then tell me why Inhofe said that he will do whatever he can to stop this concert from happening? Bottom line, your recitaition of Rush’s “politicizing” argument is bullshit.

Yo, Matt.

First of all, we aren’t “destroying the Earth”. The Earth will long outlive humanity.

We are destroying ourselves. Human existence is volatile. Do not take your comfort for granted. It took 65,000 years to build what we have today. But it can all be wiped out in a a matter of days.

We’ve already lost one major American city to ignorance and lack of preparation. Who’s next? Maybe your city?

And you have to blame the Republicans. They are the ones suppressing action. If it were the other way around, I would gladly blame the democrats. But, you know, that just ain’t the reality of the situation.

FACT: Corporate America does not want to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in environmental initiatives because it would hurt their bottom line in the short term, even though it could lead to greater productivity and innovation in the future.

FACT: If America approved the Kyoto
standards, Corporate America will demand tax subsidies to finance the changes. Or they will threaten to cut jobs.

FACT: The Democrats are willing to provide tax subsidies for environmental initiatives.

FACT: The Republicans hate raising taxes (unless they go toward military spending, which, for some reason, is just fine by the Repubs). Therefore, they do not want to push environmental initiatives because they don’t want to be responsible for financing them.

FACT: You are going to end up paying for it one way or another. Bush sent 86 billion dollars to New Orleans for reconstruction. (Well, a lot of that money has disappeared, but that’s another story.) That money came from your tax dollars. If they’d have used their vision, we could have fixed the levies in N.O. years ago, for just a few million dollars. But… um… foresight and the free market are strange bedfellows.

it doesnt matter anyway we’re all gonna die!dont quit smoking cuz global warming will kill us all! BOB UR AN UNEDUCATED COCK KNUCKLES!

Quit blaming everything on Republicans. You have politicized the Global Warming discussion just as your boy, Al Gore has. He is no different than George Bush. Both want us to live our lives in fear. This time we are in fear of destroying our Earth because we drive to many SUV’s.

Let’s not forget that the same Republicans who told us for years that smoking was not addicitive and not proven to be linked to cancer in any way are the same ones that say that CO2 has no link to Global Warming. Also, don’t forget that the current administration, along with the worthless sacks of crap Inhofe and Pombo have done everything they could to delete and supress any information that supports the environmentalist’s position. My thought is that we should be able to rezone some residential properties. I would turn the areas surrounding Rush Limbaugh’s house, Hannity’s house, Inhofe’s house and Pombo’s house into Toxic waste dumps. After all, it isn’t harmful, right Rush?

It’s not an issue of hoaxes, or science or religion.

Reducing greenhouse gases means forcing private business to invest money in new technologies. That’s where the republicans and industry baulk.

Put plain and simple, businesses always want to reduce their overhead and maximize their profits. When our grandparents were young, businesses acted wisely, and saw the value in long-term investment, but those days are over, and business executives are only interested in their quarterly earnings. This is why America’s days as the global leader in finance are coming to an end. Lack of vision. Lack of long-term business planning. Lack of regard for the wealthfare of their employees and customers. Lack, basically, of ethics.

Having said all that, I have travelled throughout the world, and I find it hard to beleive that America is a greater polluter than China and India. The pollution in those countries are so thick, it’ll turn your white shirt brown in a day. Now, of course, China and India do all of America’s manufacturing, so it’s reasonable to blame America in that sense.

Maybe we’re not having as much effect on the Earth as we think, but isn’t it worth looking into rather than immediately dismissing global warming as lunacy? Yes, the planet has natural cycles, but you have to admit that many things humans do have a negative impact on the environment. It’s worth reversing at least a little bit of that negativity. Or does the thought of sacrificing a few of our conveniences scare us even more?

So if Global Warming is a hoax, then who benefits? What is the motive?
That hoax argument makes no sense.

If you think Global Warming is Bullsh*t (or GWB for short), then please explain some motive here.

What is BUsh going to do after his presidency? Motivational speeking?

Or will he end up like Nixon and just one day we’ll find out he shit the bed?

Even if global warming is a hoax, isn’t it still a noble goal to safeguard the environment and cut down use of natural and non-renewable resources?

Partisan Politics? When are the Bush voters going to realize that THEY are the problem, and the majority of the USA as well as the better part of the WORLD think they are absolutely nuts?
Stubborn too, I might add. These people will not admit fault. You know these people, you may be one of them.
There is help, and voting Democrat is not the answer. Better, but there are plenty of tools in this camp as well. Sometimes I think we are just f’d.

Can Rage Against the Machine play on James Inhofe’s front lawn? Wakey-Wakey numb nuts.

How can someone be threatened by science? Global warming is happening, and if you think this is some grand coincidence, how nice for you. The uneducated and Bushies lament; “How dare you threaten my American way of life & liberty” as the corporations milk US for all were worth.

for the real truth, go to youtube and watch Sarah Silverman’s A Very Convenient Truth.

I am a real scientist and I, unlike most nimrods, actually know how global warming works. And although the Earth does have a climactic cycle, that cycle does not involve us pumping every last ounce of shit we can find into the atmosphere

Blinked, you just got told my friend!

Just so we’re clear, I’m not a democrat or republican. Both parties are crooked and both need work. I put my stock in people who make smart decisions about serious topics. Neither party has done that as far as I’m concerned, and there are idiots who support both sides. I’m looking at you Blinked. You’ve got the typical republican response to everything: blame everyone else and anything else for the worlds problems. The f****** ocean could be up around your ears with every scientist in the world telling you we caused it and you’d still say: “It wasn’t me!”
Listen you Bill O’Reilly worshiping zombie: BOTH parties are in SUPPORT of Gore’s concert. Not to mention that both parties are in agreeance that the Global Warming theory is true. Hear that? Some people from your party believe what those nasty old liberals believe, uh oh. Kinda busts your bubble, huh schmuck? Did you even READ the article? You’re so blind in your idiot hatred of liberals, why don’t you try rational thought for two seconds. Liberalism isn’t a mental disorder but retardation is…maybe you should seek some REAL help instead of believing everything those lying cowards at Fox have to say. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you’re a complete bag of wind though, look at who you support. Is that loud enough Blinked? Should I turn it up for you? Get aware. Grow up. Think for yourself. Stop being a puppet to a failed president and a failed party. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of smart Republicans. You’re just not one of them. Nice talkin’ with you, sport. You’re dismissed.

The truth as I see it is that it could go either way. I agree with some that it’s definetely not all some people are making it out to be, and that in fact it is probably due in part to natural causes. But when are we going to admit that we could be part of the problem? No the last ice age wasn’t caused by SUV’s, but why is it not plausible that this one was? As humans our behavior has had a devestating effect on our surroundings i.e. pollution, rainforest destruction. Nobody can deny that fact. It’s scientifically proven that we’ve destroyed pretty much everything we’ve gotten our greedy little mits on. I can’t and wont deny that it’s possible that we’re to blame for Global Warming. I’m not proud of that, and I’m going to do everything I can do to help. But on the other hand, I’m not Al Gore and I’m not going to go parading around trying to win people’s approval to feel better about myself.

Seriously though, when is he going to stop? “Ok, so global warming is a threat, think I’ll milk it for all it’s worth.” He’s really gone too far with this whole thing, but christ, let him have his little concert. If only to shut him up already…and on that note, I’m going to shut up already. Thanks for reading.

The only time CO2 has been in higher concentrations in our atmosphere was 650,000 years ago. The concentration of CO2 has been shown by the “hockey stick” curve to have increased from 250 ppm (pre-industrial) to 350 ppm (currently) and if business as usually increases it will reach 500 ppm, which will increase the earths overall temp by several degrees… this 500 ppm will be reached around 2050. An increase of this much CO2 will be severely felt at the poles where glacial ice on Greenland and Antarctica will add to sea level rise and will directly effect 2/3rds of earths population.

As far as the ozone layer, it is not “shrinking” it is being held steady at a constant rate because of the ban of CFC’s which destroy ozone (O3). CFC’s have a lifetime of around 5 years and since the ban have been decreasing in the atmosphere, hence destroying less ozone.

The ice age cycles have a lot to do with Milankovitch cycles which produce many of the ice ages.

I really cannot believe there is still arguments about this, pick up a book, take an Environmental Science course at a local college, dont let your information come from TV or the internet. I for one have never heard Al Gore speak on the topic, but I do applaud him on bringing the subject to the general public, and for discussions like these to be becoming more common place.

A great book to check out, The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery.

Rolling Stone does a lot of Al Gore/global warming based stories and it typically elicits the same reaction from republicans in denial, so to make it easier on these boards, I’ve come up with a list of platitudes for you guys to use. If we can come up with a standard, beaten to death, disproven argument for you to use every single time one of these stories is written, it’ll prevent you from having to re-word one of the usual beaten to death, disproven arguments you use every single time one of these stories is written. Just pick 3 of the 5, arrange accordingly to form a coherent paragraph and you’re good to go:

1. Al Gore’s house uses 20 times more electricity than the average house in the state of Tennessee

2. We always overreact to environmental concerns that never amount to anything, doesn’t everyone remember that new ice age we were worried about 30 years ago that never came to fruition?

3. Shouldn’t he be busy looking for Manbearpig?

4. No one ever mentions the thousands of scientific institutions that have said there’s no evidence of global warming whatsoever

5. Temperature’s are going to change naturally. It’s all cyclical. Why do we assume that human action is the cause?

By the way, what a coincidence Sen. Inhofe received the second most donations from the oil and gas sector of any congressman during his last re-election campaign (2002). Of course he’s doing everything in his power to dissuade people from fighting global warming, he can’t let his real constituents take the finanical hit that environmental friendly regulations and emissions standards would cause. Yeah, so global warming’s a crock, good luck with that. I’m sure those WMD’s will turn up soon too.

Whether or not global warming is real or not we still need to think about the air that we are breathing and the smog that we are putting into the air. Which contributes to asthma and cancer.

We need to think about how we go about obtaining the minerals that we are mining from the Earth’s crust. What affects are caused by this type of pollution?

There are good arguments for both sides of global warming, but there are many other enviromental issues at stake here as well.

Nick, you’re right; the Earth warms and cools…except that it happens to be warming far faster than ever now, and in direct proportion to skyrocketing C02 levels over the past half-century. Why can’t a rally be held in DC to speak to this? You got a problem with the First Amendment?

Once again, no one can respond to my post about Global Warming because liberals have no response. Once again, I will pose the questions to the degenerate liberal global warming freaks of the country. How did the previous ice age end? With SUVs and industrial revolutions? How is Mars experiencing a climate change itself? Are the Martians polluting the world with their SUVs and Martian-made factories? The climate change is all natural occurrences at best, and much more believable than evil Americans not lowering their thermostats when it is freezing in the middle of January. Get over yourselves or get help. Liberalism is a mental disorder, and I am the best doctor in the business.

REPUBLICANS SUCK! BOOOOO!

Bring it to Central Park in NY so I can go

and make it free

Even though Gore is a hypocrite just like most other self serving politicians,the concert should be held on the Mall.

They should have the concert here in Oklahoma. That’d really piss Inhofe off.

Man Bear Pig is coming! Everyone! Let’s play a bunch of music to try and keep it from coming! That’ll help! C’mon everyone! Join the Catastrophist Party!

I dont get one thing… If Global warming is a hoax… Why are people going around ‘hoaxing’? Want to say that enviromentalist are just liars, well I am going to believe them because they want to take an action over people who just call them blatant liars without telling me why someone would lie about something they really dont have anything to gain from.

Martin Durkin the guy who produced the Channel 4 expose on Global Warming has been a well known environmentalist hater since the 90’s. In a 1997 program he did for Channel 4 he accused environmentalists of being the ‘new enemy of science’ and compared them to Nazi’s. Channel 4 broadcast a prime-time apology as a result. And people say Al Gore is has an agenda.

For the Global Warming enthusiasts out there, answer this question: how did the last ice age end? With SUVs and an industrial revolution? Second question: NASA has indicated that Mars too is having a climate change via warmer temperatures. How could this be? Should Al Gore ask the Martians to stop driving their SUVs and lower their thermostats? Point is, not all the science agrees yet on what exactly Global Warming is, was, or will be. When Gore makes statements such as “all the science agrees on Global Warming” that’s false. He has no authority to say that. What he is simply doing is conning America, if not the world over this. I’ll make the prediction that in less than five years, this whole thing is going to die down and all the celebrities and hippies who bought it get off the drugs, we’ll all go back to normal. By the way, if the Earth changes, suck it up and deal with it. There is nothing you can do. Now go back to your lives.

You all sitting in LALA land need to wake up and see that America isn’t the only country on Earth, global warming is real, it’s a concern for people in other countries where it has already started to cause issues.

Thanks for your help Matt…The reason I watched it on Youtube is because I don’t get Channel 4 out of the UK.

Global warming is happening and it is not a hoax. However, as new information emerges, it has become clear that it is not something to worry about. Often when I try to post here, I get the message that I can only post every 15 seconds. Since I don’t post that frequently, or, for that matter, type that fast, I think you have bug.

constantlytall its pretty much a consensus that you are misinformed as well…first off almost every educated person believed that the earth was round…secondly if you are going to allow youtube to educate you on such an important topic as global warming you could really use some help…im not saying listen to every liberal media outlet…do some research from credible sources you might learn a much needed thing or two

I was a Gore propaganda believer until I saw the Great Global Warming Swindle on Youtube. Consensus does not mean it’s a fact. There was a consensus that the world was flat at one time…And it’s a shame to see that some of my peers from the left are so quick to stoop to name calling. Can’t you have an honest debate without calling someone an idiot?

Bob, maybe your statistics per EPA are only in regards to per capita. If you can honestly sit there on your fucking lazy boy and say that the state of the nation in regards to the resources we have depleted and the waste we have produced in the last 25 years isn’t vast, well than you just live off the pie in the sky. I am glad your dad has padded your pockets.

With that being said, who the fuck cares about the world and the state of the earth, as a whole? Rock bands? Politicians? Hmmm…time will tell.

Sorry, Nick, it doesn’t matter what you think. The science is in, your Exxon-induced delusions are out. Case closed.

Increase in natural disasters, since when? The problem is that everyone is looking at this on a small time scale, and where was the big huurricane season that was predicted to happen this year….nonexistent. If you look at the hurricane seasons over a long period you will see fluctuations as well.

Look at EPA statistics over the past 25 years. They show pollution levels have gone down dramatically and yet the media and politicians are ingraining in peoples minds that pollution is getting worse. Not true.

And remember 10 years ago the big scare was that the ozone hole was growing, well now it has shrunk and hear nothing about that anymore.

Conscious American,
We did not go into IRAQ for oil per se, we went in because of what that oil could do, if used as a bribe, as Saddam was doing. Not about the money, about stability. Countries such as Russia, France were highly dependent on Iraq and thus could be influenced and we all know Saddam had half the UN in his back pocket. With the bribes the UN would never have voted to go in.

And if Gene could make some extra money, would he share any with Paul Stanley???

I would love for the concert to be in Oklahoma! HAHA

Gore should fight to have the concert on Sen Inhofe’s front lawn.

What is Gene Simmons’s take on all this? Can he make some money off this?

This is from a CBS article from today. Bush’s own administration admits humans are affecting global climate change.

(CBS) President Bush dismissed on Tuesday a report put out by his administration warning that human activities are behind climate change that is having significant effects on the environment.

The report released by the Environmental Protection Agency was a surprising endorsement of what many scientists and weather experts have long argued — that human activities such as oil refining, power plants and automobile emissions are important causes of global warming.

But it suggests nothing beyond voluntary action by industry for dealing with the so-called “greenhouse” gases, the program Bush advocated in rejecting a treaty negotiated in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997 calling for mandatory reduction of those gases by industrial nations.

“I read the report put out by the bureaucracy,” Mr. Bush said dismissively when asked about the EPA report, adding that he still opposes the Kyoto treaty.

The report was the first by the Bush administration to mostly blame human activity for global warming.

“The changes observed over the last several decades are likely mostly due to human activities, but we cannot rule out that some significant part of these changes is also a reflection of natural variability,” the report says.

The report also says that despite some lingering scientific uncertainties, “There is general agreement that the observed warming is real and has been particularly strong within the past 20 years.”

Just as much evidence that you can throw out against the idea of global warming, we can put out proving it. What about the committee that ruled we are effecting it? And why shouldn’t we be do more to stop all of this polluting anyway? You point to 1000 of years back that this happened Bob, but the issue now it that it is happening quicker than ever before, and we are having some of the worst natural disaster ever recorded. With this escalation happening with the rise of man, dont you think it could be more than a coincidence?

It seems a lot of people have forgotten the fact that our part in global warming if there is such a thing have yet to be proven.

Jeff,

Gore’s energy IS NOT renewable. It will be soon, as they are transitioning.

Hazier yes - but the issue is not visibility hampering…..warmer probably, but I would say it is more likely caused by the miles of concrete, blacktop and steel in big cities all of which absorb the heat of the sun better than trees and grass. There is no scientific correlation between the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and the temparature of the Earth if you look over the history of the Earth. There was global warming scare in the 1930’s and then an ice age scare in the 1970’s. Seems the scares are as cyclical as the Earth’s Temp.

Bob- Would you agree that humans are accelerating these cycles? Our global population has tripled in the last 50 years after taking 2,000 years to reach 2 billion. So, how much do you think our oil consumption and pollution has increased over the past say 50 years or since the Industrial Revolution? I can’t imagine anyone arguing that this has not affected our environment. Where will our energy consumption be in 50 or 100 years from now? Maybe it is being blown out of proportion by both political parties, but what is wrong with a concert to promote awareness? And why not use renewable resources that might actually help slow down these cycles you speak of as well as end wars over oil such as the Iraq war, unless you think our military is dying for WMDs or Iraqi freedom. What better a place to hold such a concert than in the capital of the country that accounts for 25% of the world’s pollution with only 4% of the world’s population?

First let me say that I am so ashamed to say that Inhofe is from my state. He is a weasle of a man, but he fools people really well at home… As for global warming yes a lot of it does happen on its own, such as from cows ‘exhaust’ and so forth, but to say that humans dont have any effect on it is ridiculous. Besides it has already been ruled on that humans are contributing, and their are ways we still NEED to help the enviroment anyway, doesnt matter if it is global warming OR something else! Pollution is pollution and it still has negative effects that will cost us more in the future than it will to fix it NOW!

Pollution is getting worse, disease is spreading, beaches are closed in the summer, more people are dieing as a result of natural disasters, smog and sickness. In Toronto they estimate 5,000 people die prematurely every year due to poor air quality.

Consider this, up in the north you wait all winter for summer. Then for half the summer they warn you not to go outside. When are we all going to stand up and start changing the way we act.

As for Senator Inhofe he just proved what a spiteful, defeated and desperate man he is.

Jim, Bob and Nick are stupid as hell! A hoak with no purpose but to make the enviroment better! Thats ok though guys, ignore it then u can explain to ur grandkids y the beach moved from california to texas! IDIOTS!!!

Al Gore should fight too host it in Washington. He has my support.

Funny how it’s warmer & hazier in urban areas than rural…
go figure
I guess that’s ice cream melting & sugar clogging the air quality…

Americans are so fucking stupid. It’s the only place in the first world where sound science and facts get turned into cheap partisan rhetoric.

The rest of the world has accepted the truth about the cause and reality of global warming. The rest of the world knew that invading Iraq was a wrong decision. The rest of the first world accepts the theory of evolution. America is the only exception to these things. But the majority of Americans aren’t even mature enough to feel shame that they’ve acted wrongly.

This concert isn’t happening in Washington because congress’ oiled-money-lined pockets can’t stand being told they’re wrong.

Global warming caused by human carbon emissions is a reality. The consequences are real. The effect is real. The implications are real. Just accept it America. You know you want to, but you can’t stand telling hippies, liberals and the rest of the world they’re right. Get over this petty hatred and grow and smarten the fuck up, America.

Well said Bob.

So are the constant temparature changes on other planets man’s fault too? I guess the space shuttle must have put some CO2 into space and it landed in Saturn’s atmosphere.

You know we did have an ice age come and go before man could affect it. Why did the ice melt then?

It is just a cycle and there has yet to be any proof that CO2 in the atmosphere causes an increase in Temp. If you look at a wider time period than just 100 years you will see a pattern of temp changes while no pattern of CO2 changes.

Now we are proposing to spend money on a hoax rather than helping the poor and hungry…nice.

i was under the impression that christianity was the biggest hoax…

wow nick is dumb

“the earth warms and cools. we can’t affect it.” stupidest thing I’ve ever read in my life.

I can’t believe you guys believe this nonsense. The earth warms and cools. We can’t affect it. Look at it realistically and not through politics. I am not a rock hater. Let’s have a big concert for, I don’t know, THE MUSIC!!

I’m waiting for a comment to show up here any minute from some cliche dissenting Republican about how “Al Gore uses 20x more electricity than the average residence in Tennessee”.

When your energy is renewable, it doesn’t matter if its more expensive or you use much more of it, now, does it?
