Global Warming Is a Cause of This Year’s Extreme Weather

Where is the proof that there is actually a phenomenon called "Global Warming?" All I have been able to find is a bunch of environmentalists trying to scare me into a faith in their "religion." I will not be swayed by a liberal media, a former VEEP, or any of his bleeding heart buddies! I WILL NOT DRINK THE KOOL-AID!

every thing ever mentioned about global warming to me is a load of crap. i beleive its the world doing its own changes.people should stop and study world changes from the beginning of time and get a clue!

...from what I understand from reading the works of hard scientists, global warming may have more to do with what is going on in outerspace than in what humans are doing. Radiation from supernovas and asteroids coming near to us have been proven to make major changes in our atmosphere that leads to warming then freezing. That aside, it still behooves us to change our polluting ways so that all may have enough energy and breath clean air and drink clean water for generations to come.

does anyone remmember how hot it was when the DINOSUARS lived? you think they poluted the envoirnment too much with all their cars and stuff? or maybe the fact that they had no polution caused an ice age? it would be funny to read a blog from the dinosuars just before they all died ... I wounder if they would think they too were changing the invornment ... that would be ironic, wouldnt it.

I am glad you believe in religion. However, religion is irrelevant. Things to dont have to get worse, it is our choice how we live our lives, if you really know the bible then you would recall the fact that he died in order to give us choices. It is our choice to get upset at political figures for not drilling oil offshore, when in reality this is a pivoting point in our lifetime in which we need to change the way we live. Not the sake for reigion or politics but the sake of humanity.

Can anyone say "Cyclical"? What I see here is mother nature taking it's course just as it did for thousands of years before.

Can we cut down on the pollution, emissions, garbage and etc... of course. It doesn't help the situation. However, when whiny Gore is stamping his feet, I get very skeptical of what his true agenda is.

Stupid. Absolutely stupid.
A) Prove that we really know what a 500-year weather event looks like in this country. We haven't even been keeping records that long.
B) More rain? Higher temps and longer growing seasons? Sounds like plants, and subsequently every living creature that feeds on plants, are loving life. It's arrogant of us to believe that this climate is the most ideal for life on this planet simply because it's the climate we have now.
C) Which is the bigger threat: changing temps or rogue meteors? More living creatures survive the temperature fluxuations that Earth has been experiencing for the last 4 BILLION YEARS than have survived the extinction level events brought about by cosmic debris hitting us. We've got more pressing problems.
D) Didn't Mt. St. Helen's 1980s eruption spew more CO2 into the atmosphere than humans have released during the entire industrial revolution? Hmmm... I seem to remember it LOWERING global temps...
E) Let's bear in mind that the Earth is in no danger from humans. No matter what we do, the Earth, and life in some form will continue after we're gone. It's humans who are in danger. We need to focus on saving one another before we begin to worry about saving the planet or the animals.

More journalism from newsweek... oh wait did I put newsweek and journalism in the same sentence. That was thehe mistake of the century. When you have no credibility, like the good ol' biased unproven opinion of the sickened liberals at newsweek, there is no point in trying to convey a message, except for that of PROPAGANDA. These super rich, out of touch, couldn't survive one day without a latte, arrogant, holier than thou are so stuck on trying not to be proven wrong that they do not care for one single fact unless it contributes to their UNPROVEN theories. How are heat waves in America linked to GLOBAL warming. Heat waves in America have NOTHING to do with GLOBAL temperatures. Furthermore, according to these "journalists" we are doomed, what is a few less tons of CO2 going to do? Delay the end of the world by about 10 years. If it even delays it by 50 years, I say who gives a F@*k. Lets party like its 1999 or 2099 or whatever, lets party. Buy that SUV you've always wanted, take those plane flights to discover the Globe before its too late, live a little, throw that plastic bottle in the landfill, hell let your car idle in the drive way all day. Crank on all those lights, AC, TV's whatever contributes to speeding up the effects of Global Warming. I would work overtime to pay all these ridiculous energy costs if I new it would drive one environmentalist so crazy that he/she would jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. Oh, and just remember the more people buy into this crap being spewed from the mouths of the elitists at News-freak, the more energy companies are able to jack their prices in the name of 'saving the planet'. I bet the biggest conspiracy of all time is the Big Oil companies are in the back pockets of environmentalists getting each other rich by these very tactics. Scare the world into thinking we are at peak oil and they wont mind paying so much for gas and if burning it causes global warming then jacking the prices even more will make them not want to drive as much and everybody's happy. What a crock.

More precipitation equals cooler temperatures: global warming my ass prepare for the next ICE AGE!
