How do you explain the extreme Cold we've been having? I've read that the antartic Ice has increased.
...open your eyes instead of believing what industry funded interest groups spoon feed you.
The history of the Gore family and Occidental Petroleum have been intertwined for generations. Al Gore Sr. was such a loyal political ally that Occidental’s founder and longtime CEO, Armand Hammer, liked to say that he had Gore “in my back pocket.” When Gore Sr. left the Senate in 1970, Hammer gave him a half a million dollar a year job at an Occidental subsidiary and a seat on the company’s board of directors. Money from Occidental and its subsidiaries formed the basis of the Gore family fortune.
But it is not only the land of Indigenous Colombians that Occidental is drilling against the wishes of the residents and indigenous inhabitants. In late 1997, Al Gore supported the federal government’s three and a half billion dollar sale of the Elk Hills oil field in Bakersfield, California, to Occidental Petroleum. This was the largest privatization of federal property in US history. Occidental’s plans to drill for oil in Elk Hills will disturb traditional burial sites for the Yokuts indigenous peoples of southern California. At stake are at least 100 ancient sites in the Buena Vista Lake region where Yokuts peoples once lived.

IPCC wins the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with contributions from external experts The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) prepares periodic climate assessments on science, impacts and adaptation, and mitigation based on the contributions of several hundred expert authors nominated by governments. The majority of experts work in academia and government labs, but a handful work in business, including Haroon Kheshgi and Brian Flannery from ExxonMobil. Over the years, they have contributed to three IPCC assessments and two special reports and have served as review editors for IPCC publications. The valuable contributions of these experts were recognized, when the IPCC received the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

Global warming alarmist all have a fundamental problem, their wrong, because their conclusions are based on junk science. I honestly don't know why people keep listening to this scientist when it is a know fact that scientists fabricate data when their data fails to prove the earth is warming.
In my opinion these scientist are nothing more than scam artists because they share data with each to see how they can massage the data to meet a preconceived conclusion, then hide it from "real" scientists that are skeptical.
Words fail me. How you have managed to twist a screw up by a handful of political and NOT scientific individuals as "proof" of fabrication by tens of thousands of dedicated scientific professionals is quite simply obscene.
Shame on you all.
This world is screwed because of narrow minded dishonest people like you.
PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. SOME ADMIT TO THEM (as the UN/IPCC clearly is doing so otherwise you would not know about it DUH let me repeat for the skeptics with an IQ < 10 DUH DUH DUH).

So pretty much you believe that the people wo will lose their land and homes due to the climate change are colateral damage of our society and it's a price we should be willing to pay?
How do you intend on replacing the natural lungs of the earth with dieing forests and coral reefs?
Would you be fine if we could replace all our natural resources with some sort of "bio mass"? Must be a stunning world you're dreaming of
I am NOT a fan of carbon taxes, they are not a solution. But there's other ways that work and even increase profitability of businesses and therefore the lives of people.
We need to start looking beyond our small horizon and think about the billions of people that will starve, and die of thirst thanks to our actions.
And why? Just because some idiots want to drive Hummers and offroad vehicles in friggin downtown NYC.
Before you start talking about that's your right...yes it is, but consider the lives it costs in other parts of the world. It's easy to insist on driving overpowered offroad vehicles in locations where it's nothing but a status symbol, or overfishing the seas, or buying furniture made of rainforest wood if you are ignorant and don't consider the consequences.
How do you intend to cope with facts like these?
@Donkey: Do you have a source for that picture you posted?
