So lets say 50 years from now we look back and realize global warming was a hoax. (which I have no doubt this will NOT be the case) So instead of spending money on warfare, subsidies to polluting corporations, oil, consumerism, etc etc, we spend money on cleaning up rivers & oceans, cleaning up air pollution, saving forests, saving species, protecting the earth for future generations, preserving precious natural resources, reducing our addiction to oil and the dangers of oil-laden countries...

In 50 years, long after we have realized that global warming was a hoax, we will still be spending money on warfare, subsidies to polluting corporations, oil, consumerism, etc etc, along with money on cleaning up rivers & oceans, cleaning up air pollution, saving forests, saving species, protecting the earth for future generations, preserving precious natural resources, reducing our addiction to oil and the dangers of oil-laden countries. Nothing will have changed.

I've seen this Republican trick to tease environmentalist because the winters are so much colder, therefore it cannot be global WARMING. I'm fine with it if we call it climate change however it is applicable to the particular season. One thing is certain: We get extremes on either end: hot Summers, chilly Winters!

Check der Bilderberger website. After so many years and still no warming the are now warning of global cooling. Seriously.
Besides that: I been to Europe long time, and live in Australia, Neither warming nor rising sea levels neither there nor here.

Are you serious Dan about lack of rising sea levels in Australia and Europe? What about the flooding in Brazil, Pakistan, and Australia? I do believe Australia is seeing some of the worst flooding it has ever seen, no? You do live there right? When the planet warms, it doesn't simply mean it will be hotter in every country. A rise in global temperatures can lead to more severe storms (i.e. flooding), can lead to more severe winters, changes in gulf streams and wind patterns. If you cannot see all

Flooding is not sea level change.

It's not at all surprising that mouth-breathing morons like Trump, Nugent and Inhofe deny global warming. Are they ever right about anything?

They're right about making money, righter than you.

Granted that this article words it oddly, but it is showing that something is going on in the architect community. Here is the actual poll question. Which of the following most closely describes your personal views on sustainable design and the environment? It’s vital that we design and build sustainably, in order to conserve scarce resources and prevent further global warming. — 46.4% I’m not sure that global warming is caused by man, but energy conservation makes economic sense if we’ll

Last summer it was "global warming", then when harsh winter came, the name changed to "climate change/shift", now summer is back, we're again calling it "global warming".... if we get a rainy summer, will it become "global rain climate change" ???

We have global warming every year. You can really see it's effects around May (in the northern hemisphere, November south of the equator). Then, about 4 months later... we go into an equally-dangerous cycle or global cooling... That too lasts for about 3-4 months. It must be stopped! Who wants hot weather in the summer and cold weather in the winter?! Enough is enough!

*sarcasm rocks*

So...according to this same 2009 survey roughly 87% of architects DO believe that climate change is real yet they have still been included on this list?

Grasping at straws much...

13% of architects don't believe in global warming? you know what that means? 87% DO! I think that holds a bit weight.

Any statistitian would say that this is what it means. We have (s)elected a president before Obama who had hardly 50% of the votes, yet he claimed it was the majority...
Now, who is the flip-flop defining MAJORITY?
