Inconvenient truth

Recently went to this movie and I think it is a very thought provoking documentary. I highly recomend all of you see it. I will change the way I think and live my life.

When I go to the theatre,and pay my money and time to see a politically based movie,I always feel the way I do when i go to Lowes and pay THEM for bags of fertilizer.

No.I was just making a joke trying to difuse any possible flaming that might occur because of the political nature of the film.

I was able to seperate the the messenger from the message. My wife is an engineer and she researched the the science behind the message of the film and found it to be accurate. I am concerned.

My previous post was meant as a joke,but Ive decided it was not only insulting,it was also possibly demeaning to several different groups of people that might be reading this thread.I will now delete the last post,and apologize to anyone I might have offended.

I didn't get to see it in the theater. Can't wait for it to show up on DVD! Heard it was very thought provoking documentary.

Global temperature fluctuations have played havoc with this planet since Eve told Adam his retro rhythm rock collection was getting out of hand.

Apparently, according to one study, the arctic ice mass is melting and causing a flood of freshwater to pour down over the North Atlantic. This is pushing the Gulf Stream back, which will result in a Siberia-like climate in the British Isles and there abouts and possibly Northeastern United States.

The Gulf Stream keeps the North Atlantic fairly mild; for example, Iceland temps rarely get into the low teens F. We have already seen some fairly drastic weather in the Northeast U.S. in the past few years.

I don't normally worry about stuff like that, but I read one study that said it could start happening in ten to twenty years. Like the kids say, that would suck.

What can we do about it? That's not my department. I could, however, help out with the Federal and state income tax issues that surely will arise.

Unfortunately, the government will have to get involved if it means relocating population. So when a government agent comes to your door dressed up in arctic cold weather gear and holding a clipboard, and tells you he/she is here to help, tighten your cheeks and grasp your wallet tightly.

I'll try to do this without inciting anything, but why would you have to seperate the messagner? It's a sad state of affairs when being the former Vice President of the United States and winning the popular vote for President of the United States is depremental to your credibility. I say this without regard to the individual. The same would, and I hazzard a guess will be true of the current administration.

Just something to think about,

Ed

That's why there 's no way this threads going to work. No way to seperate the politics from the physics. Chill.

I dunno guys- I remember going back to Richmond nearly 30 years ago, after we'd had that first REALLY ball-busting winter. They had a meteorologist on the radio, & he said the mild weather North America had enjoyed for the last 35-40 years then was coming to an end, & he foresaw cold winters, floods, droughts, hot summers, bad storms...All of which have come to pass.I don't doubt a bit all the pollution mankind has put into the air has hurt, but what about volcanoes? What about The Great Smoky Mountains? The haze you see there is a natural pollutant. W/all due respect to V.Pres Gore, I think we may just be going thru a normal heating/cooling cycle the earth goes thru. Nowadays we have all this sophisticated equipment to study stuff with,but a lot of it hasn't been in use long enuff for the scientists to get a really accurate reading on things.
