This is going to suck
If there is a global warming problem that can be corrected then Al Gore isn’t helping things with this sort of exaggeration done as entertainment. Just his stiff voice-over alone is enough to make people not take it seriously. And some of the assertions are very radical. What the public needs are “the facts.”
On one of the University channels recently a Government climatologist who was critical of the Bush administration trying to downplay any global warming information made an interesting comment. He said Bush’s people wanted the real data downplayed and before him the Clinton’s people wanted it exaggerated.
How about hard facts. We can deal with it.
Sorry awake…..it must be lonely for you to be so perfectly brillant.
I have said before when this fun topic has come up…..that even though I don’t believe it’s anymore than Nature taking it’s couse(one it has taken many times in the past), thats no reason not to do all we can reasonably do to clean up our planet, and make our presense more low impact.
Kyoto was and is a pipe dream, all of the European nations that signed it are freaking out because they won’t be able to meet the first levels of compliance, and most of those countries have far stronger enviromental rules and policy’s than we do. But as long as you exempt the most polluting parts of the world for whatever reason, nothing will change. If every car, truck and airplane were outlawed all over the world tomoorw it still would only reduce co2 by 0.05 %.
We don’t as a fact, know how warm the past warming’s were, just because some core samples from Anartica say there was less of certain gasess in the air trapped in the ice, they base the theroy that this warming is faster or more severe. My God, most of the northern hemisphere’s were covered in ice only 40,000 years ago……it took some big time warming to reduce that area to what it was 5000 years ago.
Man is an arrogant breed, we think it all starts and ends with us. Sorry, we are just a most prolific species, and one that will go by the wayside as nature takes it’s course, like all the others before us.
Global warming won’t be stopped, and most likely can’t be slowed. All we can do is try to live more in harmony with nature for the few thousand years we may have left as the Earths dominant species.
Lets all just join the masons so we can figure out what the hell is going on!!
If we whould just turn off our air conditioning and start walking every where it whould be all better. NOT
stupid. stupid. cant you guys feel it or were you just born yesterday?
Hey…
I saw NOTHING wrong with this. I think the evidence is clear. Global warming is happening and the consequences are dire. Anything anyone can do to wake up the world is a positive thing. Get off Gore’s back! The man is trying to do something positive here!
I think Gore may be less the nutter so many of us thought.
This guy is getting the leaders of oil producing nations to pay him 125 thousand a hit for speechs to their elite and he sells his enviromental books to people who are anti-oil.
