Oh, geez. There are tons and tons of scientists who have proven that the whole Al Gore and Copenhagen Summit is one big rip-off scam. Most of the scientists noted on Gore's documentary have stated that they totally disagree with his theory and had even written to him telling him that they did not agree and that they wanted their names removed. He totally ignored them and used their names anyway.
If global warming was man-made, than why is that the other planets have warmed to the same amounts as earth? It's very natural cycle.
I beg to differ on your thinking as I fully believe that it is YOU who has fallen for a crock of conspiracy shit. Well intentioned, but, none the less, a dangerous crock of shit.
I'm bored and don't feel like re-researching but there's plenty of proof out there…. and I don't mean emails that do prove nefarious intent.
::) are you kidding me? You do realize that in the entire world, there are only a very small handful of scientists that do not believe global warming is happening, right?
Oh, there is much more than 'a handful'.
And note that my emphasis is on 'man-made'. That's what the scam is based on.
thanks for proving my point by linking to a website that lists a handful of scientists.

Storm Heading for Washington; Super Bowl Looks Sunny (Update2) By Brian K. Sullivan
Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) – A storm leaving a trail of snow from New Mexico to Texas is forecast to cover Washington with a foot- thick blanket this weekend, while rain will give way to warm and dry weather in time for the Super Bowl in Miami.
There is a chance the storm may leave as much as 20 inches (51 centimeters) of snow in the Washington-Baltimore area, rivaling one Dec. 19 that dropped 15 inches on Reagan National Airport, according to a National Weather Service statement.
?Plan for substantial disruptions to travel Friday afternoon through the weekend,? the agency said in a winter storm watch released today. A winter storm watch is issued when there is a potential for heavy snow.

@Haggis - ^ And note that you've neglected to name even 1. ::) Seems you've been outnumbered. Also, if you would have read that piece, you would have noticed that it did not claim to be an exhausted list. Of course, you didn't even bother to read it. It doesn't fit your false pre-conceptions.
Yet another know very little know it all who probably knows nothing whatsoever about the purpose of why this scam is being perpetrated. Go throw all your money at Al Fraudster. That's your right, which I have no desire to exploit, unlike those whom you apparently worship. You should do some research into where that money is going. It's not about preserving the environment. It's about pretending so in order to suck you dry of everything you and your children own. That's the whole crux of the matter.
Time for YOU to do some research. Seems that only a few of us around here (on both sides of the debate) have even bothered. Some of you would just rather pick a side and attack with not knowing what the Hell you are really fighting about. Just jump and attack because of some assinine band wagoness corporate controlled mainstream media fear mongering based on everything from false assumptions to flat out lies.
I'm tired of being suckered into proving 'my' point. DO YOUR OWN GODDAMN HOMEWORK!!!!!! Maybe you'll learn something.

Thank you Arthways. But, you know how it is. They don't 'want' to know. You know, it's just not 'cool'. ::)

when you can't prove something, it's pretty easy to say that you won't on some vague principle.

Huh? It looks to me that you are the
only one on your team that isn't using that tactic. Don't even try to throw that ploy my way because it's flat out wrong! Maybe you should go read some of my posted links. ::) While you're at it, go read the posts and links that GGW, Bede and Arthways posted. If you did, they must not have sunk in. Would bet that you are one of the very few who even bothered to skim through any of them.
Also, keep in mind that my point is that certain entities are using false sciences to fear monger others into believing that what are most probably 'natural' environmental changes; NOT 'man-made'; for the sole purpose of robbing us via taxes and other bogus surcharges, so that they can become even much more filthy rich than they already are. Oh, and don't forget to research a little company called 'Generation Investment Management'. Go see who is part owner. Then ask yourself how many billions of dollars, pounds, and other currencies they stand to gain if they can manipulate the masses into falling for their little scam.
Here,
this will get you started.

Here's
another one for you with this little nugget:
"But there is far more to him. Gore is getting rich from environmentalism, not just by being paid a whopping $175,000 per speech but by using political pressure to force government policy in a direction that benefits his business interests."*Bold marks are mine.

The head of the UN's IPCC also makes a mint when his policy recommendations are heeded:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/6847227/Questions-over-business-deals-of-UN-climate-change-guru-Dr-Rajendra-Pachauri.htmlLike I said, I am not going as far as to say global warming is a hoax, but if you don't believe that its proponents are motivated as much by $elf-interest as by golden-hearted altruism then you may be more than a little naive.

Oh, yeah. That Pachauri guy is another real evil scammer!!!
GGW, I would be honored to shake hands with you on this.
Personally, I believe that the climate moves back and forth, much like breathing, due mostly by natural causes. Same as it does on Mars, Jupiter and the rest of the universe. That also does not excuse environmental polluters. Bet you that those on the other side of the debate 'assumed' that I thought it did. If so, you would be dead wrong!!! True environemental controls and protections are not the 'real' purpose of the crap and tax/carbon tax scams. Either way, as Arthways noted about ALL of us, I'm not a scientist; but, I have done some of 'my' homework. Smaller differences of thinking are fine as long as they aren't used to foster corruption, as this is being used.

So, I wonder if this means the caps game will be postponed on friday night.
Upside for sunday afternoon game against the pens - there will be many last minute tix available at rock bottom prices.

i would think that atlanta is already here, or arriving ahead of the storm. my guess is that they'd still have the game and offer people that cant make it something in return
now sunday might be an issue if the pens cant make it in. they're coming from have a game in montreal on saturday afternoon so they have to fly. guess it depends on when the snow comes
the schedule is kind of crunched already so i would think the nhl would not want to reschedule if they can avoid it
