Well, allyce. I deeply agree.

Well, let’s see… Could it be that JUNK SCIENCE is the reason so many people are skeptical of “Global Warming” now called “Climate Change”? My husband, a science educator, says there has always been “climate change”. It just depends on the current cycle as to which change we have at any given time. 30 years ago Time Magazine had a cover touting “Global Cooling”, which of course was backed by science. When Earth went through the Ice Age, it wasn’t caused by man. When there were famines caused by “warming” in Europe which in part led to the French Revolution, it wasn’t due to man’s failures. While we all should do our parts to help take care of and improve the environment we have been given, we don’t want to be jerked around by junk scientists who cook the books to obtain desired results. [We would also like better examples than Al Gore - Peace Prize winner extraordinaire whose household uses @ 30x more energy than the average house. George Bush's ranch was built with all the "green" improvements, but no one noticed this because he was conservative!] God did tell Adam & Eve to care for the Garden of Eden He provided them. Sin is what caused them to live “by the sweat of their brows”.

I’m sorry. I’ve read too many comments from people from hundreds of other articles on climate issues. People are stupid, ignorant, uneducated, lack foresight, cannot see cause and effect relations, lack the ability to use cognition, and certainly cannot manage their societies without government. For those and many more reasons, Christians will get their “rapture” and the rest of us will have to struggle surviving in a collapsing world where the population and natural resource limits have been overshot. Humans, as any other species, is a self-replicating destructive species. Like any other species, nature will eventually force the species back into equilibrium with the ecology of the planet – in this event, the remaining humans will struggle for existence, destroying every other species for food and cutting down every forest for resources. This is a simple law of nature – it is in our DNA (our instincts) and there are not enough logical people to stop what is coming. Just keep going to church and keep your head deep in the sand, let your kids figure it out right.

It’s socialism/government control. First off, science is fake. You can’t trust so called “scientist”. They try and tell us the sun is the center of the universe… WOW. all you have to do is look up in the sky to see that the sun circles the earth (which i am still not convinced is round). So when some PhD tells me that scientist have been studying the properties of atmospheric gases for over over 100 years, and that through these studies that have determined that somehow burning massive amounts of fossil fuels and deforesting land can alter atmospheric composition, resulting in atmospheric changes, i say he’s a socialist. I am not sure how this is socialism, and I certainly won’t try to explain (i dont really know what socialism is cuz i didnt graduate highscool), but i will tell you that somehow science leads to socialism. And it is especially suspicious that they “revise” their studies, like they are still learning and doing research. Plus the Earth changes naturally, therefore how possibly could releasing billions and billions of tons of gases into the air change anything. Sounds like a government ploy to stop us from polluting, and that sounds like communism! somehow I feel more qualified than some scientist. I think i will take my word for it.This stuff is fake.

I think the poll is tainted. I believe in climate change, I just don’t believe that man has anything to do with it. When you think on a larger geological scale, the earth has warmed and cooled for eons. This has created drastic climate changes throughout geological history. I find it amusing that they concentrate on cars when one volcano can put more sulfur and carbon dioxide into the air in one day than all the cars on the planet in a year. Let’s face it, we are one catastrophe form the earth changing completely and kicking humans off the planet. There will be nothing we can do to stop it and all the legislation in the world will not keep the Yellowstone volcano from errupting and causing the next ice age. But, we should keep the earth clean and respect what we have while we have it. But, I don’t think we should run around screaming the sky is falling when climate change is basically a geological process that has occured and will occur for many more centuries to come.

Agree with JMV, MJB and the majority of climatologists. Global warming is a hoax concocted to further socialism and destroy America. We’ve done more than enough to clean the air in the US. Other countries should be paying reparations to US for carrying the torch for democracy and freedom.
