The Climate Cheat Sheet: How to Win Any Argument
May 08
Here are some of the key factors to use when talking to anyone that simply wears blinders when it comes to the topic of global warming:
First argument: Carbon dioxide is natural, harmless and good for the plant life. While this is partially true, plants do absorb CO2, but we are exuding so much carbon dioxide that the plants cannot absorb it. This is causing the greenhouse gas effect which has cascaded into the warming of the planet. Ocean levels are not only rising, but experiencing an acidification; extreme weather conditions are occurring and the U.S. Army is even considering climate change as a national security threat because around half of the world’s population live on or near a coast.
Second argument: The scientists have skewed the data and it is a big left-wing conspiracy; including the Climategate scandal. Actually, the data that was in the email was correct and even other countries such as the United Kingdom examined the information and found it to be correct. 97% of scientists around the world are in agreement that the climate is warming based on human contribution to pollution. In 2005 the US science academy along with ten other countries around the globe cosigned a statement confirming this. The 2007 IPCC report came in hands down that global warming has been caused by human pollution.

For those that don’t believe in global warming, I have recommended that we stop their trash pickup and dump it in their front and back yards. I have also suggested that when they get their oil changed in their car, we just store it at their house. I give it less than a week before they start yelling. The point made would show how much pollution they contribute. As long as it isn’t in their face, they will deny it.
May 25th, 2013 at 3:18 pmThe conservatives I know absolutely deny that humans are contributing to the pollution problem. While the evidence is overwhelming and common sense should give them a hint, this article will help me when they try to blame the natural order of things again.
May 12th, 2013 at 7:55 pmNo matter how many facts and statistics you feed them (and you know the conservatives love their stats), they will ignore the situation. If you gave this article to Fox tv, they would change the spin to make it seem as if the planet is out to get us.
May 11th, 2013 at 4:17 pmIt seems like the denial-thing is becoming old school. No one believes those that deny that we contribute to pollution and they have been looking like fools for quite some time. Kind of like someone with their fingers in their ears, singing la-la-la-la-la.
