Is global warming a faith, a science, a superstition, a political agenda, a religion, or something else?

Why did it become popular? Marketing, something to beleive in, politicians, or something else?

Why does Global Warming Exist?


Because of a man named Maurice Strong

Research him and his ties to the globalists.

Answer on a normal forum:

Global warming "exists" because of the actions of mankind, starting with the industrial revolution. The phenomenon was discovered through precise and highly rigorous studies carried out by climatologists and other scientists. There is no need to "believe" in global warming as if it were the latest religion. Its existence is a scientifically demonstrated fact.

Answer on CD Politics Forum:

Global warming is an evil myth perpetuated by commie liberals who are hoping to see US businesses fail under the staggering weight of unnecessary environmental regulations. We can pick and choose our favorite scientific advances and discoveries with no ill effects. I bet the world is flat, anyway.

They have changed the name to "Climate change" and to not believe it is the height of stupidity. Just take a look at what's happening in the Canadian Arctic. The ice is receeding big big time. The permafrost is melting and the environment is undergoing BIG change. The question should not be, "is it real" because the reality is as real as it can be. The question should be, "what is causing this?" and "Is there anything that can be done about it?"Personally I have large doubts that's it's being caused by greenhouse gases. Was it caused by those gases when it underwent HUGE changes in the past? At one time the Arctic was tropical, just look at all the oil that exists there. At different times during ice ages half of North America was covered in perpetual winter for thousands of years. The Earth's climate has always been in a state of change and always will be as long as there is an Earth. That fact does in no way mean that I would like to see us do whatever we can to not pollute our environment with toxins of all kinds. The burning of coal is just horrible and does immense damage other than greenhouse gases. It's very obvious also that coal will be burnt so the logical thing to do and is being done is to try to do it as clean as possible. WE are fortunate that here in Ontario we have other viable options and so therefore we are closing down all our dirty coal burners.

Global Warming is a science-based fact.

Anthropological Global Warming is a scam perpetrated by liberal freaks who want more government control over our lives. Government is the religion of liberal freaks, and like anyone who devoutly believes in their religion, they want to force it upon everyone else.

Its all those nasty democrats living in cities . Letting all kinds are cars sit running in traffic , sitting at green lights talking on their phones.Leaving their tv's on all " because the dog likes it" . Refusing to use directional signals because their other hand is using holding the phone. Therby causing everyone trying to pull out of the road they are turning on to wait.
