Comments on: Katie Couric's Notebook: Gore And Global Warming

[greenham311]

The definition of scientific consensus from Wikipedia: "Scientific consensus is the collective judgment, position, and opinion of the community of scientists in a particular field of science at a particular time. Scientific consensus is not, by itself, a scientific argument, and is not part of the scientific method; however, the content of the consensus may itself be based on both scientific arguments and the scientific method."

The scientific consensus at my house is that algore and you need a v-chip implant so you can invent the internet again and win another award for the movie Love Story which was about your life while scaming the world with a Y2K scare. We also have consensus that you are 3rd rate con artists.

Have a warm day.

It's nice to see all of the lemmings following Gore over the hill. The consensus is far from clear, but I suppose those that oppose or even question this view will now be blacklisted. This is nothing but environmental McCarthyism.

It is good to finally see Ms. Couric's liberal bias in print. Certainly this attitude will drive the few remaining viewers to alternative news sources

DEAR KATIE,
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!!! AND I'M CALLING ARNOLD RIGHT AWAY,TOO!!!! MAY THE FORCE
BE WITH YOU!!!! KATIE, YOU ARE GREAT!!!!

[dittohead7]

Katie,

Unfortunately, I have to put you in the same categorie as Heidi Cullen over at the weather channel - "Just another pretty face."

Does anyone in the MSM think for themselves anymore?
Does anyone in the MSM question or investigate anymore?
Does anyone in the MSM not drink Al Gore's kool-aid?

It's the Sun!!

1. Cosmic Rays are constantly bombarding the planet. When they combine with water vapor they form clouds, which deflect sunlight from the earth, resulting in cooler temps.
2. During high sun-spot activity the solar winds increase and divert a large portion of the cosmic rays from the earth. This results in less cloud formation. It is during these periods of high sun-spot activity that the earth's temp warms.

For a more complete analysis and if you dare to be enlightened then check out google video and search terms "global + swindle".

You will also discover an amazing correlation between temps and CO2. And also, how PM Margaret Thatcher started it all!!

So, all you limousine and Gulfstream libs will be able to drive and fly guilt-free and no-longer need to waste money on carbon credits.

BrainOnBoard,

"ITS THE SUN STUPID"

The polar Icecaps on Mars are also getting smaller.

Isn't it amazing that one volcano goes off and it has a bigger impact on global temperature that all of Mankind.

Hmmm,

The planet has gone through several Ice ages and subsequent warmings long before man was on the seen with our SUV's.

Yes the planet is Warming you dope but mans causing it is a joke. You've bought into this *** hook line and sinker.

Supposedly all the scientists that agree on this have nothing to gain except for the billions of dollars in research grant money. I guess that wouldn't be a possiblity or incentive to jump on board.

Global warming is the new politically correct religion of the 21st century. It has become political and is all about tearing the US down.
An equalization of economies. Cripple the US economy so the rest of the world can catch up.

Pull your head out of your A**. We will continue to warm up until the Sun decides to play nicer with us and than we will start to cool.

"ITS THE SUN STUPID"

effallah
If you had examples...

Like all educated conservatives, I understand AGW. Think for yourself. Your BS that ultra-competetive scientists across the world share an agenda is pathetic. And please, ancient history when MY church tried to suppress the SCIENTIFIC discovery that we weren't the center of the universe hurts your cause (by your cause I mean that of the big biz that owns you). Claiming my church helped forward that scientific discovery is false and BESIDE THE POINT. Return to THE PRESENT, or pretend that only liberals beleive AGW. And accuse me of lying about my views here while admiring the business end of any one of my "liberal" gun collection.

Shouting "its the sun stupid" is goofy. That the sun hasn't been getting brighter since the 1950s when we started measuring, but we're still getting warmer might be a clue that its mostly the billions of tons of CO2, stupid.

Katie is liberal, but you have to be a brainless simp to think that the billions of tons of GHGs PROVEN to increase temps is somehow NOT increasing temps, with no explanation whatsoever.

Most of us regardless of politics can read the following: http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdf instead of pretending it isn't happening.

[wsmalley1]

The movie Mr. Gore is trying to pass off as scientific evidence of global warming is long on bs and short on scientific fact. Has anyone ever found proof of his ficticious Island submerged by the rising sea level? It's bad enough they get together every few weeks to give one another awards for poor performance, but it's truly sad to see a major network news anchor show such bias by becoming part of the hollywierd cheering section supporting this trash.

Man's CO2 emissions aren't a problem, other than with pollution and issues not associated with climate change. If the research that shows CO2 lagging earth temperature by 800 years is true, then where's Al Gore's repudiation of that research. There are a lot of different ways different scientists can study climate change, and I've read enough comment from eminent scientists WHO ARE NAMED to solidify my opinion. Where are all the Al Gore scientists?

I want to see some discussion by real experts in their scientific fields on climate change. Do you understand Katie? Don't you people understand the power of the internet, and do you not see that the vast majority of all comments on this subject in most forums are in disagreement with Al Gore. We can find information in this day and age on the internet that we would have never have heard about in the past, and most politicians think we are still in the dark. Not so, thank God. Katie do you know what Galileo had to endure because the "consensus" in his day was that the sun moves around the earth? Now you have discovered that the sun orbits around Al Gore, and he is the center of the universe. Enlightenment is a wonderful thing.

[patriot77777]

Katie is washed up and out of touch. For a news reporter Katie, haven't you seen the invitation from the Viscount of Scotland inviting Mr Al Gore to defend his exagerations and lies about
his attention seeking, global warming? I believe Mr. Gore suffered a mental breakdown when he LOST the election and isn't mentally healty yet. He and you seem to be in the same mental/physical condition these days.

Check it out Katie.
Excerpt:

Al Gore Challenged to International TV Debate on Global Warming

PERTH, Scotland, March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a formal
invitation sent to former Vice-President Al Gore's Tennessee address and
released to the public, Lord Monckton has thrown down the gauntlet to
challenge Gore to what he terms "the Second Great Debate," an
internationally televised, head-to-head, nation-unto-nation confrontation
on the question, "That our effect on climate is not dangerous."
(http://ff.org/centers/csspp/docs/20070316_monckton.html)

Monckton, a former policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher during her years
as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said, "A careful study of the
substantial corpus of peer-reviewed science reveals that Mr. Gore's film,
An Inconvenient Truth, is a foofaraw of pseudo-science, exaggerations, and
errors, now being peddled to innocent schoolchildren worldwide."
