Do Republicans really think just because it snowed that Global warming is false?

The Fox news talking heads such as Beck, Hannity and O'Reily all seem to say that since because it snowed a lot in winter than that automatically disproves Global Warming and Al Gore should immediatley apologize for lying.. Well my question to them is, when July rolls around and the temps go over 100 degrees this summer, will those same talking heads then say Global Warming exists?

Hasn't it been called "climate change" for years now?bluezy

Hasn't it been called "climate change" for years now?bluezy

.. I am pretty sure its called Global warming.. If anything extremes in weather is proving the point that the phenomena is actually happening.

I say why does it matter if it's true or not? I mean it certainly wouldn't hurt if we cleaned up our act.Agent-Zero

All republicans think Climate Change is false. That isn't a generalization at all. Oh wait....seabiscuit8686

The vocal leadership of the Republican party seem to believe so..

Well a scientist recently said this..

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no 'statistically significant' warming.

............... That is false, often times the industries will lobby money through their PAC's on both isles of the party line..

Is it happening? Yes. Can we do #$@# about it? No.

Firstly, it's not a REpublican thing (even though lots of Republicans fit in here). There are plenty of non-Republicans who deny evolution and global warming, and plenty of Republicans who recognize that global warming is happening.

And second, yes. Yes, they absolutely believe this. Any cold spell ever is all that many skeptics need in order to justify saying that global warming is a load of crap. "If there's global warming, then how come it's cold?" Yes, that is absolutely the extent of many peoples' understanding of the issue. Though to be fair, it's not really a Republican thing.

I don't know, IT's like saying "Why do all Democrats believe Global Warming is Real?".

Is it happening? Yes. Can we do #$@# about it? No.

qwertyoip

It's a Republican thing, huh? Thats like saying all black people are criminals. :?

Yes, all Republicans think this. :roll:

Blatant generalizations and "faction loyalty" are the reason our country can't get **** done right with the bipartisan system.

Yeah cause there arent any Democrats who have been bought and paid for as well.

Corruption is on both sides of the aisle and if you want to act like its just one-sided you are not nearly as well informed as you want to pretend to be.

The debate should be if it's man-made or natural. But because the other side is taking an extreme on the issue, the other side might as well. I think that's the case.

Yep. It snowed almost three feet at my place, therefore climate change is a scam. :roll:

.. Actual "corruption" is rare in politics, and lobbyiests get a bad rap when they have to be amazingly strict and clean if they want to have any of the politicans to actually listen to them.. Furthermore our government would not be able to run with out lobbyiests..

[QUOTE="Kennysolidsnake"] Well unfortunatley the Republicants in congress are bought by not only the health insurance industry but by the energy industry so they want nothing to do with cleaing up the act just like they care nothing that our insurance premiums will go up 39%sSubZerOo

Also I am Republican and personally I feel that we have some climate change going but that alot of the data is exagerrated. They have already been proven to be lying about some stuff dealing with the emails and other such nonsense. In the long run though I personally don't care if its real or not. Not like I am going to do anything to make it better or make it worse.

i've heard this as well. we are not as smart as we think we are. it's very possible that100 years from now people will be laughing at our theories of global warming.

I am a Republican as well, and like you, I believe in climate change. However, seeing someone like Al Gore win the Nobel Peace Prize based purely on sensationalism is a tragedy in my book. Blowing things out of proportion and trying to scare people into voting for your party is a joke, and a joke that they apparently find really funny. I'm just tired of seeing these political parties take advantage of people, and I honestly feel that Obama might not have won the election if it wasn't for the use of such techniques. (Watch MTV around election time and you'll see what I mean)

Back on topic, I think global warming is a natural cycle that the earth goes through, and that the warming is followed by an ice age.

Umm no, I say it as a joke. But I am greatfull for the rain here in california.

while not impossible it is still smart to be good to the environment otherwise things like this happen.

This subject is much more complex than one thinks.....Is it a lie?

Okay ignore the link. But there is now some questions regarding the science behind global warming.LJS9502_basic

Here's a good article explaining the hacked emails brought up in your link:

"What do the suggestive "tricks" and "hiding the decline" mean? Is this evidence of a nefarious climate conspiracy?"Mike's Nature trick" refers to the paperGlobal-scale temperature patterns and climate forcing over the past six centuries (Mann 1998), published in Nature by lead author Michael Mann. The "trick" is the technique of plotting recent instrumental data along with the reconstructed data. This places recent global warming trends in the context of temperature changes over longer time scales.

The "decline" refers to the "divergence problem". This is where tree ring proxies diverge from modern instrumental temperature records after 1960. The divergence problem is discussed as early as 1998, suggesting a change in the sensitivity of tree growth to temperature in recent decades (Briffa 1998). It is also examined more recently inWilmking 2008which explores techniques in eliminating the divergence problem. So when you look at Phil Jone's email in the context of the science discussed, it is not the schemings of a climate conspiracy but technical discussions of data handling techniques available in the peer reviewed literature."
