Has anyone watched "An Inconvenient Truth"?

And what is your education in this matter? If you are going to bash someone for being uneducated in this matter, I'd like to know which section of NASA you are working in that makes you an expert.

I could say to you get educated before you spread your pavlovistic propaganda filth all over the infoweb as well.
But that wouldn't be very polite, respectful or even good form would it?
No offense Daniel, but it's a propagandistic film... not an educational one. If you want TV education watch TLC or Discovery.

I beleive in global warming too... It's been going on since the middle of the ice age...and after it is over, there will be ANOTHER ice age, and so on and so forth.
*I say we blame the dinosaurs... there was twice as much oxygen in the atmosphere before them... and now burning them give off too much co2... and there is more land, swamps are desrts, forests are ice... bad dino, bad.* -the preceding is a comedic reponse that shows simply how different earth is today without industrial intervention. I know it is plants we burn.


I will say this, Remember the Hubbub about the hole in the ozone layer? I lived under that for many years, and i never wore sunscreen. never did me any harm, nor anyone that I know either.

People who think the Earth will remain static with no major climatological changes have forgotten to read their history recently, or are delusional.
Thanks Al gore for inventing the internet so we could discuss this here, I know you are a reliable source of completely unpolitically motivated factual information.
That's my .2

I think you should have paid more attention to my later posts before you attempted to discount what I am trying to say.

Well I would have to say that Discovery is about the only channel I watch but I don't believe that the information is unbiased; most everything is biased in some way. What did you think about Ted Koppel's special on the global warming "crisis"? Total propaganda too I assume.

Obviously Gore has political motivations... but that doesn't discount the fact that he is raising awareness to a serious issue.

As far as my education goes... I am still a college student (or a young dumb kid who thinks he knows it all of course). I have written three research papers on the subject for different classes. I have seen the facts and witnessed both sides of the argument. I care about this issue enough to not let other politcal figures guide me. All I am trying to get through to people is to get educated. Do the research yourself and look at both sides of the issue. After you do that you can really draw your own mature conclusions.

I apologize for my initial post... it was just an emotional reaction to what I perceived as a worthless unprecedented statement.

Wow, I think you should have paid more attention to my later posts before you attempted to tear my *******.

I did, that's why you now have 3 ways of passing excrement. Orally, normal and new arsehole.

I don't watch ratings specials. Too much politics, too much preaching by teleprompter reading talking heads who don't truly understand what they are representing themselves as de facto experts on.
When I want facts, I read research. When I want entertainment, I watch a movie. Ted Koppel is good entertainment, but I don't like him one bit.

Well gee there sonny boy... this is what got your arse ripped. Your pathetic insistance, that because I don't believe the same thing as you or draw the same conclusions that I have not examined both sides of the issue, and Am just a person who is a political follower. As a matter of fact, you seem to include everyone who doesn't agree with you as an ignorant political follower. THAT IS IGNORANCE.
What do they teach in college today, besides remedial math, english, history, social studies, PC activism and PC "tolerance"? You really should ask for a refund if this is the best you can do after even one semester. I've draw my own mature conclusons, you disagree. Good. Get back to me after 100 years, 500 and 1000 and we will see who is right.
Researching and writing a paper is a good way of finding and organizing preexisting information. That is only step one, now you need to add information by experimentation and new discovery. Failing that you are not dealing in Hard science, only social science, or are merely an archivist.

Whatever.

Whatever indeed. An Apology implies behavioral correction. There has been none. So as people were once fond of saying before whiney crybabies decided tolerance meant not hurting feelings instead of accepting that tolerance MEANT hurt feelings... You can take your apology and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Well I certainly hope you all are right about this because I don't want to live in a world that is anymore messed up than it already is. But for now you know where I stand. Also, if you indeed did do your research you know where the large majority (98%) of climate scientologist stand. We think you are wrong, but we hope you are right. I guess we will see. I never directly attempted to insult your intelligence, I just questioned it. Lay off. Good day.
