Anthropogenic Warming “science” jumped the shark when Al Gore got on board.

Well, who are you going to trust? On one hand you have a bunch of scientists who probably think they’re soooo smart just because they graduated from college, on the other hand you have Algore - inventer of the internet. I think the choice is clear. Beside Cheryl Crow thinks global warming is happening, too.

Wasn't this settled recently by the SCOTUS?

“Beside Cheryl Crow thinks global warming is happening, too.”

And she has some ideas on exactly how we can wipe it out.

We will soon get to the point where Global Warming advocates start to admit that we “can’t be sure” that Global Warming is happening, but we also can’t be sure that it is not. They will then point out, completely without shame, that we should all be reducing our CO2 output for other reasons, anyway.

The Green Weenies have advocated for reduced fuel consumption and increased fuel efficiency since long before Global Warming was even a theory. The theory supported exactly what they were advocating all along. Remove the theory, and they will go back to where they were in the first place, with the added benefit that many, many people now accept Global Warming as a given.

Thus the ratchet clicks one more click. Un-clicking that ratchet is going to be a bear.

You know, I’ve been listening to Rush since early 1990 and I do believe that he was the first “major” media figure to discount global warming. I do not remember all the details but it seems like he has always used facts to back up his position. I wonder what the real reasons why all these people are coming around?

Rush got behind NAFTA and that was passed. I think that Rush is crusading the Global Warming skeptic issue while the political arena sorts itself out.

This will not change what the media and the dems are saying. The carbon tax will become a reality. Truth doesn’t matter when the left is in power.

Actually, during the 70s and the period of "We-are-going-into-another-Ice-Age" talk and articles, the Greens were pushing for reduced fuel consumption and increased fuel efficiency because of the earth's supposed cooling! What total doofi (the approved plural of doofus).

” Beside Cheryl Crow thinks global warming is happening, too”

And don’t forget...Leonardo DiCaprio.
That settles it.

The reason that the global warming bandwagon is so popular is the grant money it is getting. It ranks right up there with a Jesse Jackson shakedown. The organizations advocating global warming are getting various governmental and corporate grants. So, naturally, they are going to continue to advocate that global warming is a threat.

The fraud allows Al Gore to sell himself carbon credits and get praises from the Hollywood elite.

The global warming bug seems to have bitten many conservatives and Republicans, too. But we found in recent years that the Republicans love pork barrel spending as much as the Dems do.

Stepping into the middle of a partisan debate on Capitol Hill, the nation's top intelligence official has endorsed a comprehensive study by spy agencies about the impact of global warming on national security. In a letter written last week to the House Intelligence Committee, Michael McConnell, director of national intelligence, said it was "entirely appropriate" that the intelligence community prepare an assessment of the "geopolitical and security implications of global climate change." The question of whether the country's spy agencies, already burdened by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the global hunt for members of Al Qaeda,...

“I wonder what the real reasons why all these people are coming around?”

I think we can thank the internet and forums like FreeRepublic.

Using the internet it is easy to get the global warming temperature data for ones self and run analysis on it. This is not hard to do. Anyone with some training and understanding of time series analysis can do it. Lot’s of people did this. Then these people posted what they found out on different forums.

I think the real reason these scientists came around is that they did not want to look stupid.

Of course, the ham handed deceitful manner Al Gore dealt with the facts in his movie was an embarassment that contributed to the appearance of stupidity factor.

So, basically, it came down to shining that famous “light of truth” on man-made global warming and then respectable scientists who wanted to keep their reputations knew what they had to do.
