(Weekly Poll 61) - Global Warming?

So in light of the following news story.....

Weather Channel Founder Wants to Sue Al Gore

John Coleman wants to sue Al Gore for fraud. Coleman, who founded the Weather Channel in 1982, thinks taking legal action against Al Gore would be a great "vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming." Coleman rejects the notion that people must take drastic actions to reduce their energy use.

Speaking at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on Monday, Coleman sharply chastised those who further global warming alarmism. Coleman believes that the station he founded has been captured by alarmists, such as the Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen, who has advocated revoking the license of meteorologists that believe global warming can be explained by cyclical weather patterns and not human activity.

The majority of the scientific community seems to agree that humans are contributing to climate change. Do you think there's any merit to raising concerns about global alarmism? Would a lawsuit against Al Gore help the public determine fact from fiction?

...do you believe that human are responsible for Global Warming or is it a Natural Cyclical Phenomenon?

What a crock of shit. Of course humans are creating heat on the planet. With no humans here - it would be quite different. Just think of all the stuff you do in a day with energy that creates heat (driving a car, cooking, heating your house, cooling your house, even watching TV) (think of all the manufacturing plants that make everything you have - think of all the heat they are creating).

When I used to live downtown here - the effects were VERY obvious. It would snow over the entire city, but melt all around my area (because of the heat generated in the downtown area - so many cars etc). You could see the heat and smog just sitting there on certain days.

John Coleman should be fired for saying something so stupid.

I think Chump has been smoking some bad weed again.

You can see the heat!!!

You need one of your wussy drinks dude.......a little gin and tonic for Chump

[Maximal]

That guy is an idiot

I believe it is a Natural Cyclical Phenomenon that should take about a million years or so, but us humans have sped it up so it is only taking 50 years or so.

Part of the problem is all the politicians and that dick and all their hot air!

[mommysalomi]

Hey I can see heat coming off streets !!!! Like heat waves....


Anyhoo we definatley are doing a big lot of damage...Maxi said it perfectly..

I live on a mountain between LA and Bakersfield and when we go down the mountain to either city you can see the smog and pollution it is so gross !!!

[MD Willington]

Bullshit...

All that CO2 was in the atmosphere before it went into other materials and was then released back into the atmosphere...

You know what is a worse green house gas...! WATER VAPOR !

I think it's a little bit of global warming, but nothing to the extent of what they are trying to say. I do however think that people use too much energy and if changes can be made to lessen it then they should definately be made. I don't think the polar Ice caps are going to flood the ocean and all that bullshit though. I just think that if we don't stop using the oil at the rate we are soon there will be none left.

I'm not the one selling berry juice for a living.

I'd love to see you come up here and keep up with me drinking Canadian beer. 4 beers and you'd be on the floor.

Come see the heat. I dare yah.
