The liberal logic goes like this:

Emission of carbon dioxide causes greenhouse effect.
The said effect must manifest itself as global warming.
Thus to prevent global warming we must decrease carbon dioxide emissions.
But scientists detect no global warming at all, so lets use the term "climate change".
The "climate change" is scary enough to our keep our liberal voters in fear of god.
Since there is no "global warming", lets use "climate change".

But greenhouse effect allegedly produced by CO2 should result in "global warming", not merely in "climate change", right? Warming is warming, change is change.

How do you link CO2 to "climate change" if the link is missing in the chain
CO2 -> greenhouse effect -> global warming -> climate change?

Oh, never mind. Carbon dioxide was already vilified, lets now make our classical trick of bait and switch.
 
Just curious as to why you would say that no global warming has occurred. This is absurd.

Since you live way up north in the land of the polar bears and abstinence, why don't you look out the window over toward Russia and see for yourself.
 
Well, we will just have to see then.
Just like the NWO and 2012. Both of those are completely ridiculous, but people on the right can't get enough of them.
 
But if there was no global warming, why are the polar bears up north drowning? Where has all the ice gone?
ZOMG! Maybe the Republicans are hoarding it all and selling them off in convenience stores.

hehe Go ahead and thumb me down! =D
 
uhh where to begin

global warming IS occurring - it occurs on a massive cycle every 40,000 years or so naturally due to the fact that the earth is tilted on its orbit around the sun, and that the orbit is not exactly round

(unless you also deny that the earth orbits the sun ? - I can't be sure judging from your naievete)

global warming does exist

the matter of dispute is whether the massive amounts of additional carbon gasses released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels (which were underground - and before that they were dinosaurs which decomposed into fossil fuels - hence the 'fossil' name (unless you don't believe in dinosaurs either? I can't be quite sure...))
has an EFFECT on global warming

Carbon gasses are lighter than most other gasses - so they float to the top of the atmosphere that is held around the earth by gravity and a few other factors
Carbon gasses trap infrared radiation inside of the earth's atmosphere

the earth in stasis without intervention goes through these trapping gas and cooling and warming phases on its own
since we humans have been releasing these massive and unanticipated amounts of carbon gasses it is throwing that system off kilter

but I would guess that at about this point you're going "la la la can't hear you la la la" with your fingers over your ears


the fact that some deny global warming is occurring is because they (and their party) are part and parcel to blame largely for the issue

it's like the child with the broken cookie jar at their feet and chocolate stained lips - "what cookies? there were no cookies! just because you CLAIM there were cookies does not make it so! see? and here is my chocolate-lip-stained friend Joey who ALSO says there were no cookies! so obviously you're wrong!"





the answer below mine has it DEAD ON TARGET --->
 
Evolution son. Just because you can't prove it does not mean you can't call it a fact. After all we were breeding animals long before Darwin so we know things change, just insert a cause and tell people to disprove it and you have it made.
 
The new math does point to climate increase based on natural cycles of the environment. However, I believe that the carbon base statistics were grossly overrated but they still have some significance and value.
 
Years ago we were told that the planet was cooling and that we were due to have another Ice AGe.

In the past 20 years the left has pushed global warming and now that they have no definitive proof of warming they are adopting the climate change.

Ok it is changing, this is the natural long term cycle of the earth. If it is cooling and the "science??" of warming is CO2 then how does CO2 play into climate change and global cooling? They cannot make that leap and stay credible. They will try but based on their own formula it is false.

Global warming is real, just not 'man-made' global warming. Global warming happens naturally. Climate change is real, but the climate has been changing ever since there has been a climate. I mean North America used to be covered in a massive glacier...

And no liberals do not care to think about these things, they just listen to what their liberal college professor says.
 
take corn out of your diet, and the diet of cattle, and you will have a lot less gas in the world, and throw corn syrup out too, and there will be a lot less fat in the world too, even cats and dogs should not eat corn products, you must see that cattle and hogs are fed corn to get fat, to raise the market price, we all put this corn into animals and people, when it should have been put into car and trucks 80 years ago, we messed up, agriculture has it backward, just because we learned to grow it does not make it right, but the profit game of corporate america where thinking only of the republican bill-fold of more, with chemical world lapping at the plate, people second, money market first, now the chemicals are swimming in your drinking water, and your soda pop, your cheese, your milk, and your fish comes from ocean of plastic trash, dumped from every boat and ship in it.........need I continue......
 
My Son, to understand the liberal mind one must understand that is the cause that counts not any evidence as to whether the cause is correct or not.
 
Scientifically, there is no difference. There is no link missing. And yes, there is global warming.
 
Track, you're smarter than this. The physics is simple: CO2 is a good absorber of infrared and it reradiates it back to earth. The greenhouse effect is what keeps us from this earth being a frozen ice ball. Added atmospheric CO2 just adds to this effect and make the planet warmer

But I like to think it as climate disruption, not global warming, nor climate change. We will adapt. But the more we do now to mitigate it and adapt to it, the better.

Btw: I really like the corn guy's answer above me. Very funny, even if he did not intend it to be quite so funny.
 
Global warming is the increase in average global temperature. This has been happening for the past couple decades and is a provable scientific fact.

Climate change is when climates change. Extra energy in weather patterns, as reflected by global warming, is causing them to shift. The shift in weather patterns is leading to a shift in climate.

They are both happening. However, climate change is the more noticeable one. Liberals switched to climate change because global warming is too subtle a concept for conservatives to understand. Conservatives need scientific evidence that hits them upside the head before they will believe it.
 
The point is there are like 2 retarded republican fish squirrel monkey scientists who say Global Warming is not real. 98% of the worlds scientists can prove the greenhouse effect is causing global warming. Climate change as someone stated below is just trying to downplay something that would affect the greed of the wealthy. Honestly who cares if Global warming is real or not it is obvious we are screwing up our planet with pollution, and it is our job to do something about it.
 
To think that we can effect the climate of a planet like ours is complete arrogance on the part of liberals who think that man is all powerful. The world has been around for a long long long time before man ever came to be here and the climate went through cycles then as it is now it's natural and has happened several times before, what we do does not have a major impact on the climate.

I try telling liberals this and they say "but you can't deny the climate is changing" then I say have you not listened to a word I said... look it up our climate changes naturally...i.e. the ice age
 
Uh, the scientists in particular whom you have failed to reference may not support global warming claims, but the vast majority of the scientific community does. And yes, climate change = global warming. It's called climate change because it also encompasses a vast amount of other environmental changes on the planet - ocean currents and acidity, air quality, etc.

Moreover, scientists didn't originate the term "climate change" it was instituted by the Bush administration to make "global warming" sound less alarming. So, you asked about the missing link? Here it is: CO2 -> greenhouse effect -> global warming -> Bush administration's need to downplay global warming -> climate change.

You are also, yourself, acknowledging the fact that CO2 has a noticeable effect on our planet's climate. So do you really think this could be any sort of positive effect?
