Global Warming ??
Off-topic but a REAL issue

For those on this board that haven't seen the movie, "An Inconvenient Truth", it's online via the below URL:

http://sharethetruth.us/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=67&page=1

This isn't "an Al Gore" movie, but a GLOBAL WARMING movie, narrated by Al.

The movie presents RAW data, only a little politics, so if you like breathing, check this out.

I welcome constructive comments

I like Al Gore too, but why is this thread here? This has nothing to do with internet appliances. Note the guideline for the "I-Appliance BBS General / NEWS, Breaking NEWS" section:

"Breaking I-News ONLY, think 'is it breaking news?' before posting please"

Thank you,

Randy

"The movie presents RAW data" . . . good one. The movie presents data from certain periods of time to help make their claim of global warning. It also manipulates data to try and prove their claim.

Show me a study that was not funded by a grant or special interest group, and maybe I'll listen to you.

It is the full time job of many people to try to prove global warming - they get paid to find the best set of numbers to fool you.

Weird to see this here and had to at least give the opposing viewpoint.

Indeed. For a rebuttal of many specific "truths" in "A Convenient Lie" watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle", available on YouTube.

indeed there's no place that this thread can be on this site. I am very interested in this topic and try to live on this but I don't think it is appropriate to post this here.

I know that this is totally off topic, BUT....

Science says that Global Warming is real, and serious. We need to do something about it, immediately.

Scientifically, there is no controversy. Politically there is a contoversy, and that is only in the United States, and only if you watch nothing bit the Fox News Channel.

Many of the same people who contradict global warming also contradict the theory of evolution. The theory of evolution is the foundation of all modern natural science (while it is only a theory, not a fact... although I doubt that any creationist has any idea what that means scientifically).

I say that it is just like denying the holocaust. Yes, I know that is tough talk! But I say that that is what it is. On one hand, here are the facts. On the other hand, here are bunch of idiots contradicting the facts. Yes, there are two sides to the issue: reality, and a bunch of idiots. And those idiots are making it a lot harder to solve the problem.

Twits who run their mouths and contradict the facts today (March 13th, 2008) are partly to blame for the misery that global warming will cause.

This message will be archived for years to come, so y'all come back and see if I'm right.

(Please do not read the following until 2012.)

Told you so!!

I absolutely agree with you, but don't think this is an appropriate place to bring it up.

Although I do have to make the point that posters like Randy make fools out of themselves by thinking Global Warming is a hoax.

Fact is, the only people pushing the hoax theory are the corporate polluters and their powerful DC lobbyists, and the occasional sellout scientist that they pay top dollar to manipulate data in highly publicized research reports claiming that the issue has been exaggerated.

Explain then the mountain of studies that have come from reputable scientists that were NOT paid, and conducted research based on empirical evidence.

The rest of the scientific community is united in its conviction of man made global warming, as well as all other free thinking western countries that aren't ruled by dimwits. Unfortunately, the US is not one of them.

Meanwhile, a giant glacier in Antarctica has just collapsed. Guess that must be coincidence to the ignorant huh? History shall one day come to view you much like Holocaust deniers are viewed in this day and age; as fringe idiots.

Once again the real "idiots" come out of the woodwork to spout the party line. Probably the very same ones who run to the polls and vote themselves a tax increase each time some local "idiot" claims they need more money to teach their kids how to read.
Contrary to your "global warming facts", the National Weather Service has forecast 2008 to be one of the coolest years on record. Probably no "real" scientists there though, huh? On December 25th of 2004 we had 12" of snow on the ground here in South Texas. The U.S. has had some of the harshest winters on record the past several years. Global warming or cooling? I guess if it doesn't fit your theory then it gets ignored, right?
Best of all, there is this:

"U.S. Senate Report: Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007
Senate Report Debunks "Consensus"
Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore."

If you'd care to read the whole paper, here's the link straight to the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee website:

Have fun reading.

BREAKING NEWS: If enough people tell the same lie loudly enough for long enough a lot of other people will think it's a proven fact.

MY 2¢ :
Venus' atmosphere consists almost entirely (97%) of carbon dioxide average temperature of 467°C (872°F)
Mars' atmosphere consists almost entirely (95.32%) of carbon dioxide average temperature of -55°C

so, if we reduce the atmospheric CO2 on Earth by only 1.68% we can lower global temperatures about 522°C!

Damn - I LOVE the truth!
