Have you seen the BBC's documentary entitled "The Great Global Warming
Swindle"? It features many reputable scientists (that don't get paid by
oil companies), and provides an insightful review of Gores charts and
graphs by actual climatologists. They point out that the man-caused
theory of global warming only works if you ignore the historical climate
data that does not fit the model.

I highly recommend it.

Are you certain that the BBC doesn't have its own agenda?

I don't get cable or satellite TV so this wouldn't be free.

Since Al invented the internet, he should distribute his movie free
across the internet.

That's part of the rationale for carbon credits.... Someone flies a
relatively clean jet (or fires up a relatively clean refinery), and pays
money to those who have relatively dirty ones.
They the money and use it to clean the dirty ones up.

The idea is that it's less expensive to improve the dirty ones than to get
the same reduction in the ones that are already clean.


I thought the concept was opposite to that: If you upgrade or build to
better than the declared standard, the amount you under-polute gives you
credits which you can sell to the over-poluters. The over-poluters use those
bought credits to help reduce the monitary penalty they pay for poluting
over the standard. Thus the carrot and the stick, rather than just the
stick.

Hmphf.

From my favorite skeptic, The Amazing Randi:

===========================
"It turns out that producer Martin Durkin "edited" his graph material, to
produce a spurious conclusion by disregarding all information obtained after
1980 and "stretching out" the remaining results to fill up the graph space!

The UK/Channel 4 film was a purposeful sham. You'll find that those quoted in
the film are claiming they were
misled and deceived, and in view of this heavy evidence of blatant
misrepresentation - plus the fact that Channel 4 has previously had to make
public apologies for allowing Durkin to perpetrate a similar earlier fraud on
their facility - just why did they decide, in this case, to repeat this
blunder? One of those scientists interviewed, Dr. Carl Wunsch, professor of
Physical Oceanography at MIT, was shown as supporting the film's
anti-Global Warming thesis, but had no chance of seeing the film before it was
broadcast. When he saw the final product, and realized that his statements had
been cherry-picked out of context, Wunsch said:

'I am angry because they completely misrepresented me. My views were distorted
by the context in which they placed them. The movie was terrible propaganda.'
"
============================

There is a lot of bs out there on this subject.

So you feel that government has no place in educating the nation's
children? No place in prosecuting monopolies? No place in operating
the NAS? No place in funding space research? No place in providing
for public health? No place regulating labor practices? No place in
international diplomacy? .... Interesting.


I support all activities of the federal government that are consistent with
the US Constitution and oppose all those that are not.

For instance, it is my understanding that Polar Bears are drowning
because they are too exhausted to reach sea ice that has retreated to
record levels. Should this result in a reduction in the Polar Bear
population, it will cause native peoples of the polar latitudes to
abandon their traditional ways of life.

Why is EVERYTHING referenced to people? How about the poor damn Polar
Bears! Personally, I think they're one of the most beautiful creatures out
there, especially considering their "home", and it's disappearing.



You should really view the movie.

Yes, that's true. Although laced with overstressed "facts", some can NOT be
disputed. I personally have pictures of glaciers on two different
continents that had existed for centuries, taken ~ 25 years ago, that have
nearly vanished...

I recall one typing class where there were
three or four students huddled around the teacher while the rest of
them indulged in boisterous, disruptive behavior.

That's not a function of class size, that is a function of the
difference between Japanese and American values. You'd never see that
in Japan - the drive for conformity is too strong.

True, I was referring to the morality that existed in the US up until the 60s, not the Taliban. What a dumb comparison and you know it.

It's not a "dumb comparision" - it points out that
1: Prayer has nothing to do with morality.
2: What you support is prayer to =your= god, not prayer in general.
