Is global warming a hoax?

• Okay for know all I care about is why global warming is a hoax. I just want reasons for why one might think that global warming is a hoax. Once again I just want reason why global warming is a hoax or conspiracy or something of that nature. Personally I believe that global warming is real, but I would just like to know some reason that a person who doesn't believe in global warming are

• Answer:

  If a person believed the hypothesis that global warming is caused by human activity was a hoax then they would be very selective in their choosing what data to look at. For instance, they would find some satellite atmospheric temperature measurements that supported the view that the temperature at some altitude was decreasing. they would say that in the past the CO2 increases from the polar ice sheet studies showed that the increases in CO2 came after the surface warmed. They would say that the increases in surface temperature we see are natural and not caused by human activity. They would write science papers that were paid for by the oil companies that would quibble with the scientists that were demonstrating human activity is causing global warming to create doubts in those who do not know how to read science papers, and to feed the idea that even scientists are not sure about global warming. They would claim that the reason the UN IPCC was promoting the hoax was because the UN wants one world government. There are a lot of anti-science people in the world and their views are often (mostly?) based on some belief that they were taught by their parents when they were small children, so their reasons for denying global warming have nothing to do with logic and everything to do with emotion.
