In holding scientific research and discovery in respect , we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite . President Eisenhower

Clouds are visible and therefore not water vapour which is an invisible compressible odourless gas that contributes to the overall atmospheric pressure. Clouds are liquid water droplets. However clouds restrict terrestriai radiation in a different way to the greenhouse effect of invisible water vapour. They simply reflect whereas the green house effect is to be opaque to terrestrial radiation. The major point though is that water vapour, a serious and essential, greenhouse gas, inhabits about 4% of air generally, whereas CO^2 is about one thousandth of that, today. Doubling CO2 in todays atmosphere would have a greenhouse gas effect of 0.002% compared to water vapour. The contrast is enormous hence why carbon scientists will lose this debate unless they continue to confuse a gullible public and politicians with lies.

See "Svensmark: the cloud mystery" to learn the truth about climate change. Anthropogenic global warming id a fraud.

Manmade climate change is created to substitute religions. And yes we all fell for it...sheep

Nice. It's always amazing how conservatives dredge up someone who has zero science credentials to inform us how climate change isn't worth any concern. I'm sure that burning the prehistoric forest into the atmosphere has no effect. Idiots.
-
if water vapor is a greater green house gas than co2, then why aren't there any surveys on nuclear verses coal or oil powered plants?

he has to be paid handsomely to be so stupid, it would really be rather difficult for someone to be so ignorant on their own.

Great speech

Reality is a bitch. What a stream of baloney, falsehoods, non sequiturs, and silly diversions. He trots out the same old litany of canards. Right off the bat, his characterization of Trenberth's e-mail is an overt lie. He clearly does not understand the concept of error - or the concepts of scientific analysis. There was never a pause. You cannot wave away data by merely bloviating about intolerance. Apparently if you just spew enough nonsense, you can overcome reality. Well, no you can't.

They just found 20 billion barrels of crude in Texas...oh and 1.6 billion barrels of natural gas...Back in the late 70s it would all be gone in 15 to 20 years.

The Earth is a living organism...It heals itself.

thanks..gore saw the $$ potential..energy is a huge thing to control..you have everyone by the...

Scott, it’s very easy to offer free this and free that when others pay for your national defense. In 2012 Austria spent .08 percent of GDP on national defense. That was less than Luxembourg. So get real. U.S. citizens fork over 4.40 percent each year defending Europe from Putin et al. They’ve done this for over half of a century.

What a fool, a person like him could have been bought off quite cheaply. Never mind the methane releases from the Arctic, heaven forbid the methane releases should catch fire.

god his weezing breathings so distracting lol

People are such SHEEP .... all this information is freely available but the SHEEPLE would ratrher be given their opinions by the left controlled media than actually go looking for information

Hillsdale seems to be the school for becoming an arrogant denier.

Global warming is not happening, because
1) I don't want bad things to happen
2) I don't want to have to do something about it
3) Al Gore is rich
4) Al Gore is fat
5) It's a communist plot to take away our godgiven right to consume as much as we want.
That pretty much sums up the arguments. -
There is only one consideration for global warming that most of these videos are over looking and that is; Never in the history of this planet earth has there been so many souls alive. Which are simultaneously doing damage to the environment. We have the very overpopulated China pumping out pollution like it's a race. Tropical climates, trading rain forested areas for red palm trees, sugar cane plantations and cattle yards to name a few. The oil industry in a race to squeeze all the oil out of the earth before some one comes up with viable alternative energy. Algae bloom from over use of chemical fertilizers. The waste of mining operations all over the globe. polluting of fresh water sources. There is the burning of 10,000's of acres of deciduous, conifer forests and grass lands in North America. If there were no problem with the fragile environment then what about the bees, beaching of hundreds of marine animals, bleaching of the barrier reef, sudden death of multitudes birds and fish? If none of these factors are the result of changes in our climate by the hand of man then I will be silent!

Y'all can debate and argue all you want. It perfectly stated in his conclusion. The environmental movement is deeply authoritarian at its core, has unquenchable will to power that cannot be satisfied or denied. Some day we will find out if it was a comical misadventure or a tragic misadventure.
