Ignorance is rampant concerning man made global warming. The truly ignorant call it "liberal left wing spin".
I am a life time Republican conservative and knoiw the difference between shit and shinola. A long time diver from the mid 60s, I know the facts and global warming is fact as I have seen it.
Coral reefs that are now dead that I used to float through in the late 60s that are now barren nothing are from the water warming. Even a dumb ass knows that is what caused it. Throw in man made pollution and you have exactly what is going on now.
The very same folks that claim that Obama was born in Kenya, practices as a Muslim and is partnered with Al Qaeda are the ones claiming that global wqarming is false.
Wake up dumbasses. The very scientists that claimed smoking was good for you are the ones now claiming there is no global warming.
All of us long time outdoorsmen know it is fact and we are conservatives. The right has made this a left/right issue to confuse, as the right wing fools are easily confused, to throw you off.
Are there hundreds of big time corporations and politicians tryong to get rich off of it. Of course!
But it is going on as I have sen it over the last 45 years of my life. Anyone that has travled the world as I have, dove, hunted, fished and been all around the planet.
Play the fools game of politics all you want. Facts are in and man causes the earth to warm. Get used to it and change it. Be part of the solution and get your dumb ass head out of the sand.
Either allow Rush and Sean to run your life or listen to scientific fact and personal experiences form world travelers like me.
Next thing we will hear is how the oil on the beaches is not affecting the environment. And you fools will beliee it because Rush and Sean claim it is a "left wing liberal conspiracy". Dumbasses you are.
Yes, we do believe you are stupid if you keep your eyes closed to man made global warming. Go out and put your hand over the exhaust pipe of your car. It is very hot. Multiply that times a BILLION.
And the same scientists that are preaching global warming now were preaching global cooling in the 1970's. You are just as opinionated and ignorant as those you attack. So get your head out of the sand and learn something than what the clowns at MSNBC are shoving down your throat.
I worked my way through university on a dive boat as well (32 foot Radon diving for Urchins and Abalone) and the only effects I saw were overfishing and otter and seal killing by said fishermen.
Come on, Walleyes, you faux geologist, you absolutely know nothing of what was said or published for that period in scientific journals.
Climate myths: They predicted global cooling in the 1970s - environment - 16 May 2007 - New Scientist
However, Schneider soon realised he had overestimated the cooling effect of aerosol pollution and underestimated the effect of CO2, meaning warming was more likely than cooling in the long run. In his review of a 1977 book called The Weather Conspiracy: The Coming of the New Ice Age, Schneider stated: "We just don't know...at this stage whether we are in for warming or cooling - or when." A 1975 report (pdf format) by the US National Academy of Sciences merely called for more research.
The calls for action to prevent further human-induced global warming, by contrast, are based on an enormous body of research by thousands of scientists over more than a century that has been subjected to intense - and sometimes ferocious - scrutiny. According to the latest IPCC report, it is more than 90% certain that the world is already warming as a result of human activity (see Blame for global warming placed firmly on humankind).
Update:
A survey of the scientific literature has found that between 1965 and 1979, 44 scientific papers predicted warming, 20 were neutral and just 7 predicted cooling. So while predictions of cooling got more media attention, the majority of scientists were predicting warming even then.
