Members misterhinkydink Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 Again, you say "most", when there's no such evidence or hard data to back that up. 77.34% of people know that... Here you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 If you think lying and falsifying info and espousing your theories, as a non-scientist as "fact" and "Truth" (which is in the name), just to gain notoriety and make controversy is an upstanding and integral act, I'm sorry my friend. It's a Michael Moore flick on steroids- just has the name of a has-been behind it, is why anyone "cared". Anyone see Leo DiCrapio's flick? I heard it dropped like a bomb! YOu haven't seen the movie, have you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeonVomit Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 You very rarely find anyone who says that climate change isn't a serious issue or it's being blown out of proportion outside of the US. Just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 I heard a clip of it on the radio today, his address, talking about the "majority of all worldwide scientists and the consensus of the scientific community say that humans are the cause of global warming and we should stop it", or something to that effect. I'd love to see his source for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that very many people minimize global warming, I think that a lot of people will take issue with Gore's opinion of its cause though. Keep in mind that we've had 8 years+ with Gore, I think he's long since lost his credibility with us. Not a whole lot of people take him too seriously any more. That's my take at least.

Members hi.flyer Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 Oil companies paying off scientists to support their economic agendas= ludicrous conspiracy theory. All the scientists in the world, and the UN, teaming up to destroy mah traditional 'merican way of life and take away mah big truck=IT'S SO OBVIOUS!

Members RSBro Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 Here you go. Is that the same "consensus" that Newsweek plastered on the front of it's rag back in the 70's, when we were about to enter the new Ice Age? Just a thought.

Members Mudbass Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 The Nobel comittee lost all credibility, as far as I'm concerned, 17 years ago when it awarded the prize to Yasser Arafat. Yasser Arafat? Christ! You might as well give it to Joseph Stalin. Alfred Nobel must be spinning in his grave today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RSBro Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 Did anyone else happen to catch that wave of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes we were planning on having over for tea these past two years? I know we missed them here in Texas, and I was SO looking forward to Houston emptying out again and acting like locusts from a plague wiping out my little town's resources, so I'm kinda upset that all these "experts" and members of the "consensus" were so wrong...

Nice strawmen you've built there. No evidence of oil company "payoffs". Nothing remotely indicating "all the scientists in the world". Since you mentioned trucks, why is it that you hear NOTHING from the politicians who embrace the GW panic, about any efforts to reduce the number of trucks on the road, why commercial trucks are virtually devoid of any real pollution controls, and railroads are barely an afterthought as a viable low emissions alternative to the steady stream of OTR trucks?? Could it be that the lobbying giant known as the Teamster's Union is feared more than some unorganized guys driving SUV's that already have every pollution control California could dream up??

It was what it was, a "Scareumentary" if you will. Good information and facts "massaged" to present a desired outcome, akin to the Michael Moore school of film making.

I wouldn't say it was poorly made, in fact, I thought it was done pretty well actually. Algore takes a lot of poetic license with the facts though and leans heavily on alarmist sensationalism.

All the folks who are talking about how poorly made the film was, have you seen it? I missed that my bad, I usually only read the thread from my email alerts.But yeah I've seen part of it when it was on Showtime last month. They only showed it a couple times so I couldn't catch all of it, and God knows I'm not spending money to rent it! I've discussed it a little with people who have seen it, but from what I did see that's why I compared it to a Moore film, as it's a "documentary" of sorts that only shows what you want to give you the final result you want it to be. If it comes on again I may try to catch more of it altogether.Plus, I'm not one that believes puny little mankind has the ability to control the ebb and flow of this planet and the cosmos anyways, but that's for another day...

I didn't say affect- I said control... let's be clear on this cause in my book it's quite different. I still don't see how nukes back in the late 40's caused our "GW" today- if anything, some 30 odd years later we were getting colder!!{censored}- THAT'S why we want to nuke Iran, so in 20 years we won't have to use our A/C units during the summer!!

Good on slick but lacking in scientific validity.And yes, he plays hard and loose with the 'facts' as he calls them. No scientist in their right mind can scientifically extrapolate from CO2 to the overall climate change while ignoring other factors.I agree, I get really tired and bored with all the dooms day {censored} hoisted on us by the dumacrats. It's tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
