I was walking with a friend and we were talking about cars. So then we got to the [u][i]Telsa[/i][/u], a energy efficient car, he then stated that he'd never drive anything that's not powered by gasoline. I then countered his stupidity by saying that the world is and will have to become energy efficient to continue. A few minutes later into our argument he says [b]Global Warming Is A Scam To Buy Energy Efficient Items[/b]
So I've come to OffTopic to get answers.
Is Global Warming real?
(I believe)

Decades ago scientists were worried about global cooling. They even suggested that we melt part of the polar ice caps to warm up the earth. Global warming is just a fad.
-
It's just about as real as OP being a fag and your mom riding me...so yes. It's very very real. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
-
Well, your friend is stupid. Even if it is a scam to buy energy efficient items, those items are more efficient, which normally means cheaper to operate. That means your friend wants to pay more to be wasteful, just so he can be wasteful

Firm believer in global warming, but also strong advocate for gasoline powered cars.

I'm too stupid to believe global warming, or even the California drought for that matter. I firmly believe that they are scare tactics being used just to raise prices, or sell a product. I only believe they are scare tactics when it is something I disagree with. However, when it comes to things that I can get behind, like too many illegal immigrants in the country, I dismiss the possibility of lying politicians.

Global Warming is fake... [spoiler]Chuck Noris was cold and decided to warm up the Sun.[/spoiler]

No such thing [spoiler]POLITICAL JOKE[/spoiler]

Nope. Don't believe it.

I seems real, the only question is whether or not we are effecting the rate at which it happens. Seems we go through cycles (global warming to ice age) and back. We just don't have enough proof yet. If it does happen, it won't be for thousands of years.

Of course it is where my grandma lives it never snowed and now it does alot.
-
Lel, of course it is.

Bearbeitet von cxkxr: 3/22/2015 10:44:30 PMGlobal warming has been thoroughly debunked.
-
Yup, it's real. The argument is wether it's caused by greenhouse gasses or if it's just natural. Either way, it's happening
-
I do believe global warming is real. There is an overwhelmingly amount of data to prove the matter. Anyone who denies such thing (in the forums) is either lacking in knowledge of the subject, trolling, moronic, trolling, or trolling.
-
Nope. No such thing as global warming.
-
Of course it is real. I'm taking a class called Chembridge, which is being sponsored by the University of Texas at Austin. And quite frankly the knowledge I've gathered from that class is a bit worrying.
-
Yes yes it is but your misguided friend is right in a sense because there are people getting into the energy business to scam people who don't know much

I'm all for stopping Global Whining
-
No global warming is not real.
-
Well loads of opinions about the global warming. My opinion is that it might be real, the earth has always warmed up and then got cooled down by a ice age. I believe global warming exelerates that proces. (sorry for the bad english)
-
Its real, and its pretty worrying... •~•

I wonder what they will say when most of florida and costal areas are underwater.... Take a look at Bangladesh.
-
Well, yeah. It's real. I think that's kind of already established.

Bearbeitet von Sober As A Bird: 3/22/2015 7:29:39 PMIt's a scam. Just another way to tax the general public. Look into the sun cycle, Climate isn't static. Here's a founder of greenpeace that also thinks it's shenanigans. http://news.heartland.org/newspaper-article/2015/03/20/why-i-am-climate-change-skeptic
