It turns my stomach that people take a politician (Al Gore) seriously when he releases a movie about global warming through Hollywood and people treat it as fact. People are such sheep.

Al Gore has been giving speeches on the subject of global warming for years with little notice taken. He decided to use a movie to draw attention to the cause he believed in and because it actually worked now the critics say it's all motivated by politics and he's a hypocrite? Where was the outrage for Al Gore's message before 'An Inconvenient Truth'?

For the most part people are sheep and all you need to do is look at the man in office right now for proof. The 2004 election showed that the right to life, sanctity of marriage, and horror of embryonic stem cell research were more important than the federal deficit, Iraq war disaster, and miserable word opinion of the nation.

Algore tries to get others to conserve while he consumes.

It's like going on a diet and paying someone else to eat less and exercise.

Not really. Even if it was it would still be better than what the majority of people do (nothing at all).

He can afford to do that, too.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I do more than Al Gore. That's not counting his private jet and 19 SUVs.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Interestingly the scientists quoted aren't actually refuting man-made global warming (on a scientific level), merely the presentation of it.

On that note - the "Hollywoodisation" term was used in direct reference to 2004's The Day After Tomorrow and not the Al Gore film.

Some other quotes from the same article:

"I don't think the way to make people pay attention is to make them afraid about it," he said.

"We have to help them understand it and allow them to make choices - because the impact of climate change is going to mean we have got some quite difficult choices to make both in policy and as members of the public.

"We must be careful not to sensationalise our side of the argument or Hollywoodise the argument otherwise you end up in an ever increasing cycle of claim and counter-claim.

"We have to be clear about what our level of understanding is and to be clear about where we are making judgements based on understanding."

"There is a lot more research to do to understand about exactly what effects its going to have on you and me in the future."
"It's very important for scientists to be clear with the public - we have learned that lesson with many scientific issues," she said.

But she added that it was important not to downplay the potentially "catastrophic" results of climate change.

In other words - it doesn't say what some of you guys seem to think it does... ;)

You do more to bring awareness to global warming than Al Gore? I think probably... :no:

FWIW, the private jet and SUV's may make him a hypocrite to some but it doesn't make the message he's delivering wrong. I think that's getting lost in the political muck.

Which is kind of the reverse of the scientist's "Hollywoodisation" comment - that we should be apparently more concerned with presentation than the science itself.

I'm suspicious of ANY scientists that comment on the issue of Global Warming in a political way and using any variation of the word 'Hollywood' to describe other scientist's comments is overtly political. Shouldn't we expect them to deliver the science along with recommendations, conclusions? :unsure:

Stott regards himself as a Humeian 'mitigated sceptic' [14] on the subject of global warming. He has not published scholarly articles in the field of climate change, although he has published books on the subject. Also, he has researched on the construction of environmental knowledge, including global warming as a Barthesian myth, for over thirty years.

Ah there you are Steve! You never disappoint.

How's Jinky and Job getting along? They enjoying their new home?

They are doing great! :star: Job started school last Thursday (Kindergarten). He's lovin all the attention he's getting from my two teenagers. Jinky's been awesome - she prepared gingaling (sp) last night and I could stop eating it.

OFF TOPIC.

Hi bro,

Glad to hear that everything great with you and Jinky..and family!

Hey',may I know what is gingaling?is it pork chicken or beef?Gary ask me what is that?He just love Filipino food also..

:ot: Hi, Sis! It's supposed to be ground pork with potato and carrots cut into tiny cubes then fried in a pan with soy sauce. I tried to let her use my mini food processor but she didn't like the way it cut the carrots so she did it all using a knife. I had to give her massage afterwards. :P

:ot2:

hmmm...you sly dog brother steven............i am sure the chow was worth the massage, or was the massage the start of after dinner dessert..

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

He didn't use green electricity until he was caught not using it last year. I've been using it for years. Heck, I've made more green electricity than most of you will use your whole life.

I'm saying that your global warming messenger is one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet. At least be honest about it.

I don't think Al Gore does the environmentalist cause much of a favour - something about him says to me "cynical politician". He would do himself and others a favour to distance himself from further politicising the issue.

Still nothing changes the fact that the scientists quoted in the article do not cast doubt on their belief that human assisted global warming is a reality. And they were talking about an obviously fictionalised summer movie.

I will be quite honest about it, LuckyStrike..he's more slicker than an eel in a barrel of snot. I could'nt agree with you more.
