I don't care about any 32'000 scientists. i never heard about them anyway. i'm quiet capable of making my own mind up about it, and I think man made global warming is BS. And I think Cap and Trade is a scam. And I think Al Gore is a conman.

I don't think that anyone is denying climate change.
Climate change happens. We know it happens from fossil records. We know that the planet cools down and heats up. No denying that.
What we are is skeptical of Man Made Global Warming. MMGW is like a cult that alot of people are preaching like it's the second comming. Any sort of criticism evokes alot of teeth gnashing. And that sounds to me like someone is hiding something.
Personally I am very skeptical of MMGW. In my experience no one can predict the weather. And anyone saying they can predict the weather on a global scale is really stretching it IMO.

Why do all these videos that are supposed to be revealing some big "truth" all sound like their narrated by the same monotone, downtrodden guy?
10 years from now people won't admit they actually "believed" in global warming. It will be too embarrassing.

I don't need educating. I have listened to experts telling me sea levels will rise for the past 40 years.
They havn't risen at all, so thats a lie.
Current sea level rise has occurred at a mean rate of 1.8 mm per year for the past century, and more recently at rates estimated near 2.8 ± 0.4 to 3.1 ± 0.7 mm per year (1993-2003).

Here are the facts that have convinced me that (manmade) global warming is false.
1) Average global temperatures have not set a new high since 1998 and have shown a clear downward trend since 2007.
2) Analysis of ice core samples used to generate the data used by Al Gore in his Inconvenient Truth movie, consistently show that temperature changes ALWAYS precede changes in CO2 by an average of 700 YEARS. That means that rising temperatures are causing rising CO2 not the other way around.
3) NASA has confirmed that every other planet in our solar system is getting warmer so there must be a more systemic cause.
4)North Pole ice cap is once again growing on a year over year basis as are some glaciers.
5)While large ice flows are indeed breaking off Antarctica, the average depth of ice on the land portion of Antarctica continues to grow.
6)Ocean levels have continued to rise at a modest 3mm(1/8th of an inch) per year as they have over the last century.
7) The world was considerably warmer approx. 1000 years ago. Greenland as called that when Vikings established permanent settlements there because large areas near the coast were ice free for most of the year. Those settlements had to be abandoned when global temperatures declined and grazing/farming land turned to permafrost.

You are the fool. So you find a video that suits your beliefs and now its the truth??
You base your theory that MMGW is real because of 2 people in the whole world were proven to mislead the public??
You forget the fact that the scientists for climate change tweak their data to fit their agenda. Is that not misleading the public?? But I'm sure you choose to believe them because they are scientists. Like science has never been wrong. I'm sure you believe in evolution as well. For if you believe in God, then you would realize that He created the heavens and the earth and everything in it. You would then believe that earth can take care of itself. Maybe you should worry about the people you put your trust in, for people in it for the money, cannot be trusted.
I'm not here to try and change your mind, I'm here to tell you that you have been punked, owned and just about made a fool of all by yourself.
Human activities release more than 130 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes
