Facts, Science smash the Global Warming Myth

[BRUCE]

so you agree that fossil fuel is finite and we are truly fucked if we don't eventually find an alternative?

Totally.

[Straw Man]

Totally.

would you agree that it's imperative that we not only conserve the scarce resources we now have while also doing whatever we can to develop alternatives, expecting that someday those alternatives must replace fossil fuels?

Yes I would.

And you're telling me he needs to physically fly to places to promote his work? 

Do you believe Al Gore's Oscar win would have given his movie as much coverage as it did - if he had accepted the award via video feed from a hut in a field in Tenn.?

[Straw Man]

Yes I would.

sounds like we're in complete agreement.   Like I said before, I discount Al Gore to zero.   If he drops dead tomorrow all the same issues still exist.   The right wing is masterful at stirring up emotional issues to distract people from the real issues.

Where the hell is Mr. I?

[militarymuscle69]

Take Al Gore out of the equation, do you still not believe in Global Warming? I'm openly critical of Gore on this issue but I still believe in the main issue.

Gore is a blowhard but Global Warming isn't just political spin.

Is the climate getting warmer, yes but it has cycled like this throughout history. I don't believe in the doomsday glabal warming.

Why are you calling it "doomsday global warming"?

Can't this be an issue without the hyperbole? I've never heard anyone say the world is going to end and I've certainly never talked about Global Warming in those terms.

How can living a cleaner life be a bad thing? If we all made little changes it could have a great benefit. Even something as simple as carpooling is a good thing.

This whole issue has been too politicized.

If he actually was willing to set that example?  That would have been probably the single biggest moment in TV history.  Instead, we had him waddling up the isle in a $10,000 suit to get congrats from Leo.

He's done more for global warming than 6 billion other earthlings.

Think about that for a minute.

He's done more to talk about global warming.  Has he done more to stop it?  Well, no.

Do you think anyone has been convinced to act differently after the example The Goracle is setting?  I think not, but hey, there's money to be made.

Mr. I is nowhere to be seen. The guy is such a fucking joke..

Please name one man or woman who has educated more people on the potential danger of global warming.

Go on...

What's wrong with making money? 

BTW - How is AG making money on this again?

His movie hasn't made tons of cash as far as I can tell... didn't he show it at Independent Film Festivals and stuff?

He's made a vertible fortune off his global warming preaching.

What's wrong with this is that he has to contradict this preaching to do so.

Surely you've got some source for this claim right?

BTW - according to Wikipedia (not the best source but not the worst either):

 The film has grossed over $24 million in the U.S. and over $42 million worldwide as of January 31, 2007, making it the third-highest-grossing documentary in the U.S. to date (after Fahrenheit 9/11 and March of the Penguins).[17]

Al Gore has stated, "Tipper and I are devoting 100 percent of the profits from the book and the movie to a new bipartisan educational campaign to further spread the message about global warming."

Here's the totals...

According to this site: http://www.stjoan.com/er6/inconvenient/inconvenient.htm

"So strong is this impassioned environmental crusader that 100% of the profits from his film and eponymous titled book will go to a non-profit bipartisan effort to support bold action to confront global warming."

That is an outright LIE!

As a lurker, I would like to implore that you guys please stop owning BRUCE?  Not only is he incapable of articulating well, but now you all show that he's randomly spewing crap.

[BRUCE]

Read my previous post.

Is it?  Perhaps you should close your mouth and do some research:

Just one example of how Al Gore acquried that mansion using global warming profits.

That actually means he pays other folk to use less dirty power themselves, or take out the carbon dioxide he pumps out. It’s a bit like paying someone to starve so you can gorge.

But there are at least four problems with such offsets, the first of which is very particular to Gore. And that is Gore buys his offsets through Generation Investment Management, whose chairman is . . . Al Gore.

What’s more, GIM’s business is not to itself remove carbon from the air, but, it says, to “buy high quality companies at attractive prices that will deliver superior long-term investment returns”.

Ahem...

Is this question for me?  If so, the answer is that no one man has ever used an entirely hypocritical stance to alienate people from the global warming cause.

His film has been exposed for, at best, exaggerating the truth, and at worst, lying about the effects of 'man made global warming.

Don't feel like you have any need to provide proof for your claims.  You may return to 'lurking' now, as I'd be far too inarticulate to perhaps school you on a few issues.  Or would I?
