10. The oceans and Earth are cooling, not warming.
9. The polar ice caps are growing, not melting.
8. The oceans are not rising...even though they have for thousands of years (without cars or factories).
7. Hurricane activity is not increasing, but decreasing...to 30-year lows.
6. The Great Barrier Reef coral continues thriving, not dying.
5. The more people learn, the more they reject it.
4. Those infamous "hot spots" never materialized.
3. Warming and cooling patterns correspond to solar activity, not human activity.
2. There is no consensus.
1. Top believers have to bury data and silence dissent to make it look real.

If it walks like a duck-quacks like a duck and looks like a duck it is probably a duck...not a smelt fish....
You're using Fox News as sources for scientific data on climate change? Really?
What truly irks me though, is not whether or not man-made climate change is a myth or not, it's the time and effort dedicated to proving it and in particular disproving it, mainly brought about from a Conservative agenda. Why are the two so intrinsically linked? What is wrong with Democrats pushing for cleaner air and more efficient use of the increasingly scarce natural resources we have available? Is it just that it's coming from a Liberal push? How people can criticise someone for trying to bring down pollutants in the air for future generations is beyond me.
The lack of individual responsibility regarding impact on the world we live in is the most important factor here - individuals need to be given viable economic choices to "go green" and not have to pay through the nose for it, not whether or not climate change is natural or man-made.
Please stop misrepresenting things. I used more liberal sources than anything. The Fox link I provided included links of its own so that the claim could be independently verified.
YOU are the only person here being dishonest.
And this isn't about cleaning up pollutants. It is about redistribution of wealth. Well, that, and bringing down America's economy. There are business-friendly ways to be good stewards of the environment...liberals refuse to even consider them.
That should be your first clue. Try again.
Robert, I'd like you to point out precisely where I was being dishonest.
I will take your point about big business suffering from climate change legislation; yes it is true, particularly the regulation changes on emissions' implications for the automobile manufacturing industry. But! America's automobile industry is 10 years behind the rest of the world in this regard, and as a result is now paying the price financially by having to catch up quicker than the rest in order for it to fall in line with new government commitments on emissions that should have been agreed many, many years ago.
Try again? There is no need; you fall into the same trap as every other Conservative I ever discuss this with falls into: your concern is more about spoiling a Liberal pushed agenda for the sake of it than acknowledging that America is way, way behind.
It IS about pollutants. We simply cannot criticise developing world nations e.g. India & China, for emissions until we sort out our own house.
