Daily Mail:

Climate change is the biggest health threat of the 21st century, leading academics claimed last night.

Those who fail to take the issue seriously are as morally reprehensible as 18th-century slave traders, they said.

cue the cultists who have no clue about the science of climatic changes... Has little to do with man and more to do with that giant flaming orb we revolve around and the earth itself....­.I bet the African American people , once again, appreciate that slavery and civil rights are being used for the exploitation of a sci fi agenda

If all to do with the flaming orb explain the different climates in Mars and Venus, obviously atmosphere does make a large difference.

This isn't just an American issue.

what's next?

[ConservativeHippie]

Are Mars and Venus warming as well?

[FernandoRuiz]

Cue the climate change deniers who have no experience with science but like to try and debunk scientists strictly for partisan political advantage. Great job guys, way to go

[cfunston]

Like this "denier" who has no experience with science?

Climatologist and Paloeclimate researcher Dr. Diane Douglas, who has authored or edited over 200 technical reports, also declared natural factors are dominating climate, not CO2. “The recent ‘panic’ to control GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions and billions of dollars being dedicated for the task has me deeply concerned that US, and other countries are spending precious global funds to stop global warming, when it is primarily being driven by natural forcing mechanisms,”

[cfunston]

How about this obvious nut job??

"UN IPCC Scientist Dr. Steven M. Japar, a PhD atmospheric chemist who was part of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Second (1995) and Third (2001) Assessment Reports, and has authored 83 peer-reviewed publications and in the areas of climate change, atmospheric chemistry, air pollutions and vehicle emissions, challenged the IPCC’s climate claims.

“Temperature measurements show that the [climate model-predicted mid-troposphere] hot zone is non-existent. This is more than sufficient to invalidate global climate models and projections made with them!” Japar told the minority staff on the Environment and Public Works Committee on January 7, 2009. "

More ignorant, partisan deniers.

“I am appalled at the state of discord in the field of climate science…There is no observational evidence that the addition of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have caused any temperature perturbations in the atmosphere­.” - Award-winning atmospheric scientist Dr. George T. Wolff, former member of the EPA’s Science Advisory Board, served on a committee of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and authored more than 90 peer-reviewed studies.

“The cause of these global changes is fundamentally due to the Sun and its effect on the Earth as it moves about in its orbit. Not from man-made activities­.” - Retired Award Winning NASA Atmospheric Scientist Dr. William W. Vaughan, recipient of the NASA Exceptional Service Medal, a former Division Chief of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and author more than 100 refereed journal articles, monographs, and papers.

hahaha anyone who disagrees with them is as bad as a slave trader. science at its dumbest and most dangerous.

[StopGlobalWarmingBeVegan]

Your comment is dangerous.

[FernandoRuiz]

Well Barry, if scientists said the sun was going supernova in two years, and you decided to ignore that, you would probably be considered dangerous to society

[elmerfude]

Ichthyology -- the study of fish. Ornithology -- the study of birds. Boneology -- the study of boneheads.

[BarryBonez]

Really? I'm personally a bit more worried about getting Cancer.

[StopGlobalWarmingBeVegan]

Then stop eating meat.

[FernandoRuiz]

Increased amount of sunlight due to the decreasing ozone would cause cancer
