An Inconvenient Truth

[24KT]

Ok, I finally saw "An Inconvenient Truth"

I strongly urge anyone who hasn't seen it yet to see it. It's fabulous and bang on!

[ieffinhatecardio]

Here's a small preview of what's to come from this thread.

Certain conservatives pretending that "Global Warming" is a liberal scam.

Certain people stating that Al Gore is nothing but a profiteer praying on the fears of people.

And of course the people with a brain taking issue with the "Global Warming is a liberal scam" point of view and Gore supporters defending Gore.

All in all it should be rather entertaining.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Gore, ...they really should see this documentary.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Gore, ...they really should see this documentary.

I watched this film around a week ago now and quite enjoyed it.  Gore is an excellent communicator and presents his views in a clear and concise manner, without weighing the viewer down with massive slabs of information.  I did think he indulged in a little too much 'Al time', especially as we saw 80's Al and I-just-lost-to-Bush-Al, along with his reflections.  Quite what this had to do with Global Warming I wasn't sure.

Was it Oscar material?  Well, riding the coat-tails of Michael Moore esque success, I guess it was.  Al is nowhere near as deceitful as Moore, however his movie does contain several exaggerations, and fails to deal sufficiently with the raging debate that is currently occurring on this very topic.  To claim the contest is over regarding man-made climate change is a falsity in itself.

Perhaps a solution lies here:

If the majority of the worlds' scientists agree that big corps are causing it, then the big corps have to start building the sea walls around major cities.

Except that 'majority rules' science has been proven to not necesarily be accurate.  Will the scientists reimburse the companies if they are indeed incorrect?

Bruce, it's like you intentionally choose the greediest, most corrupt motherfvckers on the planet, and you believe they have hearts of gold and could never tell a lie.

I love to argue, but lately, it sucks man.  You don't use common sense.

If that's the best argument you've got, then perhaps debating with me would 'suck' for you.  Yes; I understand that point of view entirely.

On my latest inspection, you have bought into no less than 5 major conspiracy theories involving the United States.  This, even after they have been run through some of the most rigorous and intense investigative and inquisitorial processes on the face of the planet.  That you can accuse me of lacking 'common sense' would then, as you'd understand, bring me a considerate amount of levity.

Tunnel vision is a beautiful thing. It allows you to completely ignore what you don't want to see.

If only I could practice this feat on your e-stalk tendencies.

Hey Mr. Australia, you're stalking me. I haven't directed a post at your delusional ass in a couple of days can you say the same?

Nope, you can't.

STOP STALKING ME, MR. AUSTRALIA.

[BRUCE]

I haven't directed a post at your delusional ass in a couple of days can you

Erm, except for your post directed at me above.

[ieffinhatecardio]

I am reporting this stalking to the moderator.


Mr. Australia continually directs posts at me and I have only answered one in the past couple of days.

And I only answered it to get Mr. Australia to stop stalking me.


STOP STALKING ME MR. AUSTRALIA.

Whoops, and the story changes, just like that.  Actually, you weren't 'answering' me; you were chiming in to the cacophony of bile being orchestrated against me.  I tell you what, I won't respond to your posts anymore if you don't mine, okay?

DO you believe the 9/11 commission did "some of the most rigorous and intense investigative and inquisitorial processes on the face of the planet"?

[ieffinhatecardio]

Ozmo,

Can you do something about MR. AUSTRALIA?

He's stalking me like a delusional Australian that secretly wishes to be an American.

I can't even tell him to stop stalking me without him going off on a diatribe.

Please stop MR. AUSTRALIA from stalking me.

I know man. 

At least he's real obvious. 

That's what makes him annoying, he can dish it out but he can't take it.  classic wuss.  As soon as the other side side firing away he start whining, running, disengaging or throws out more ad-hom 

Just remember his M.O.:

post some links and attack your character at any disagreement.

This guy is almost like Johnny.  The difference is, johnny had a knack for making a good argument using logic.

Uh huh, can you point out anything I've said that's inaccurate, as you're painting a picture of someone that often indulges in inaccuracies?  Or are you simply upset I've shown you up more than once in reasoned debate?

I downloaded it on rapidshare and it was pretty good.

Completely inaccurate statement.

Gore addresses it, ...and summarily dispatches it. It was done so quickly you might have missed it. We all know how you have a tendency to read selectively, ...why should you be any different when listening or watching? Gore was able to dismiss it so quickly because the 'evidence' was so flimsy to begin with.

Thank you Ozmo. I was beginning to feel unsafe with being stalked.

You know I think I remember reading a study that said Australians that secretly wished they were Americans were more prone to stalking.



P.S. LOL
