Al Gore Debates Global Warming

Al Gore debates expert climatologists (at last) on whether carbon dioxide causes global warming.

    Wow if they are that good, why cant they tell me the temps for the next week accurately?

    Are you attempting to illustrate an illusion that the current warming preceded the rise in CO2? And that the CO2 increase is a result of this alleged prior warming?
    If you are, save your breath and I can’t even begin to tell you why because your knowledge of the subject is so severely lacking it would take you years to catch up.

    Use Google Scholar, PubMed, etc. Try again, there’s plenty there.

    Are you trying to claim that there aren’t Viking remains under permafrost?

    As for warming preceding CO2 rises, there is evidence of that even in this current warming. Let’s face it, there was a significant early 20C warming. Who knows, maybe it’s true on ALL time-scales!

    Did I say that?? Where did I mention anything at all about Vikings?

    Look, warming has preceded CO2 in the ice core record. That does not infer that that’s the rule of law. As it has also occurred in the past that CO2 has risen before any evidence of warming. Nonetheless, you’re spending more time speculating and guessing with a really defunct knowledge of how the system works, DAVE.

    let’s see first we get ..the current warming preceded CO2 is an Illusion…then we get ..warming has preceded CO2 .. this must be the same science as more ice mean less ice or wet droughts and dry flood kind of science. then we get ..it has also occurred in the past that CO2 has risen before any warming… Good to know that CO2 has nothing to do with temperature..it is about time .

    the carbon trading system was built by CEO OF ENRON AND AL GORE wake up people! c02 is a scam to empty your pocket

    it seems that you are talking about yourself

    The U.S. consumes 25% of the world’s energy and produces 25% of the waste, which is 10X more per capita than China and India.
    So, who should lead us out of this mess??

    Why are the fossil fuel industries and their deniers so totally against efforts to SLOW global warming???
    If they’re RIGHT that we’re beginning a cooling period, then any provisions that COST MONEY will be IMMEDIATELY SUSPENDED as soon as a cooling trend can be scientifically demonstrated.

  10. goog2k said on November 4th, 2009 at 5:27 pm

    So, deniers why not just have FAITH in your claims? If you’re correct, you’ll certainly be proven so within a few years.

    (I really wonder how deniers can live with themselves dispensing all their silly lies and disinformation.)

    There’s a great new comprehensive book out by Al Gore, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis.

    I asked for a disproof of the null hypothesis, you haven’t provided one.

    When you disprove the null hypothesis, I’ll give your new hypothesis some consideration.

    Dave.

    If you want to understand the global warming deniers who post regularly on youtube, and you’re wondering why, this is a very good video on the subject:

    Crap of the week? a Cartoonist and a animation expert is now a new form of science?

  14. jffryfnt said on November 5th, 2009 at 4:02 am

    So exactly why is the burden on me because of your lack of ability to do research?
    The recent temperature rise can’t be explained by any other mechanism than CO2. The fall in temps in the last century between the 1940s and 1970s is coincident with a major increase in atmospheric aerosols, only until the Clean Air Act. After which, CO2 forcing predominated.
    These are findings so robust now in climate science because no alternative explanation that has been explored holds any water. Do some work.

  15. DrDave953 said on November 5th, 2009 at 4:15 am

    The burden of proof is on you because you are trying to displace a current hypothesis.

    Thus we get back to Vikings under permafrost, the proof that the warming is NOT unprecedented! No proxies, just plain evidence!

    Dave.

  16. wilbert1755 said on November 5th, 2009 at 5:19 am

    Can’t be explain by any ” mechanism” then CO2″
    Of course it can! It is a mechanism called a Computer. BTW the climate or if you prefer Gaia is not cooperating with that “mechanism” and why we see so much panic coming from the hysterical society.

  17. MyPlate said on November 5th, 2009 at 9:07 am

    @jffryfnt so what? It is a fact that the planet has been cooling for over a decade.

  18. MyPlate said on November 5th, 2009 at 9:11 am

    to say that anyone can know what temp was 1000 years ago is nothing but complete bullshit. This guy is pulling the wool over you eyes. he is nothing short of pathetic….and it is even more pathetic that anyone actually listens to him.

  19. MyPlate said on November 5th, 2009 at 9:24 am

    al gore that is..he is a crook

  20. Snotra said on November 5th, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    Let China pollute the earth with their industry, but keep USA on check….? This guy has the mental agility of a bumper bracket for a 1976 Chevy pick up truck!

  21. DrDave953 said on November 5th, 2009 at 2:56 pm

    I dunno; them there Vikings & their damned SUVs sure warmed Greenland up for a while ;-)

    Dave.

  22. crowefloyd said on November 5th, 2009 at 3:17 pm

    GM needs too build a bigger and better SUV, call it the Viking Navigator, Ill buy one…

  23. Lawrence818 said on November 5th, 2009 at 10:07 pm

    This sucks because just like Republicans and issues, all they talk about is how someone’s ideas are wrong! Instead of thinking of new ideas on how to slow this warming down. Because people are in a real situation in which the warming is affecting there environment. The rise of the oceans, Rivers flooding , coral reefs bleaching, and future projections of droughts. It’s meaning less for someone to tell me that it’s only natural, when human expansion has a 110% effect on the earth!

  24. Lawrence818 said on November 5th, 2009 at 10:12 pm

    It’s so funny when I was a kid and I looked at Greenland on the globe and ask my mom why it wasn’t Green. lol Stupid Vikings

  25. mommar33 said on November 5th, 2009 at 11:56 pm

    stop carbon pollution!go nuclear.and yes i am a conservative who doesnt believe in co2 pollution but if you do ,theres your answer
