I don't Believe in Global Warming

Dear Readers,

I really don't believe in human-caused global warming. I was kind of wishy-washy about it before, but now I've read more about it and I really don't believe in it at all anymore. There's a whole bunch of stuff on the Internet about global warming being fake. I know a lot of it comes from people that aren't super qualified to talk about the subject, but a lot of it comes from people who are super qualified to talk about the subject.

One of the things that irritates me the most about the whole global warming thing is that some people say, "The argument is over. There is virtually universal consensus among experts across the world that man-made global warming is real and the way to combat it is to reduce our CO2 emitions." As far as I'm concerned, and as far as a bunch of non-government-sponsered scientists are concerned, the debate is not over!

Here's a bunch of links to stuff that might change your way of thinking about global warming.

Google Zbigniew Jaworowski and John Coleman. The wikipedia page for Jaworowski has a lot of links to articles he's written in the links section. The one that I've skimmed and like is "CO2: The greatest scientific scandal of our time"

also, your last few links don't work for people who aren't NAU students...i can't read anything supporting your ridiculous claim that global warming is a hoax if i can't view the articles.

uncapitalizer,

There are very good reasons to be skeptical of global warming.

Here is one recent article which I think makes sense (I don't know how to make links, sorry):

At the very least, the jury is out on whether there is global warming at all, and if there is, whether it is caused by humans, and what the consequences are if there is global warming. One consequence I can think of if the world is warming is longer growing seasons for crops which would lead to the opportunity for a larger world food supply.

I believe cold kills more people than heat.And people thinking they are fighting global warming are probably thinking something like more cold = more death, which means fewer people which means more for me. I really think some environmentalists are anti people people.
