Congrats to 43. He really cares, while Geowar Bush is just a hired globalization cheerleader.

Anyone who has actually done any reading, AND actually seen the film, will have only positive things to say.
Anyone still covering for the republicans is lower
than Nazi sympathizers after WWII.
We know the truth, the bad guys tried to keep it secret
and it got out anyway, they are still fighting to cover it back up again to save their miserable carcasses, and
if you don’t have a lean to the left, get off this page, duuuuh.

brought tears to my eyes.

Gore gave the wilm what Joe Friday asked for, “Just the facts Ma’am.”. Gore should run in 2008 and get back the election that Bush stole from him in 2000.

“…Gore’s inspirational role in allowing them to create the film. Gore than took the mic…”

THEN took the mic…

This is the whole reason I watched the boring Oscars. Hooray for Al Gore, Davis Guggenheim et aliter.

The dance group was really amazing, though.

What a crock of unadulterated crap. Hollyweird has truly gone over the deep end. I can imagine being one of the other nominees only to have it stolen by Al Whore for a political schlockumentary.

Geesh… were have all the independent thinking people gone? It’s a sad day when eco nazi’s declare the debate over… sounds somewhat familiar from a not too distant past. Some of us refuse to drink the nazi kool-aid.

Imagine if Al Gore had been our president for these six years. I believe in the long run no issue we face today is more challenging than Climate Change. The Inconvient Truth documentry was most deserving of the Oscar and I hope and pray Al Gore will run for president in 08. I can not Imagine a better president for these times. Gore 08!

Bob, you’re the reason that I continue to be vigil against evil. As I always said, “the only good murderous ignorant racist Nazi is a dead Nazi.” Caring about the survival of the human race isn’t “eco-nazism,” you lying evil scumbag. Just because your Mom seduced you at the age 12yo doesn’t make you a hero, you moron!

The predictions of Global Warming have not panned out under scientific scrutiny. That’s why the Doomsday nuts have now begun championing Abrupt Climate Change. There is absolutely no consensus among scientists about the validity of Global Warming or Abrupt Climate Change as a human created condition. The jury’s out on this, as of yet. Which means people who choose this position as a faith are no better than the religious right nuts (whose faith is equally stupid).

“the predictions of global warming have not panned out under scientific scrutiny” ???? hmmm, exactly what do you define as scientific scrutiny? as best i can tell, the scientific community documents established fact in a network of science journals and white papers. if you were to check the last twenty years’ worth of those, you’d find that not only has global warming been heavily scrutinized, it’s been confirmed by science. period. it always amuses me how much the right and the libertarians believe that talk radio is the source of all debate.

I applaud Al Gore’s efforts to bring this issue to the front burner and the recognition he has received. But,
I can’t help but wonder about the double or even multiple standards adopted by the world leaders to the question of development and how it affects living standards and global warming. The developed world has enjoyed the fruits of development and innovation and has reached a stage of richness and prosperity by exploiting the resources of the earth and the world. They are now however talking about the ill-effects of development taking place in China, India, Brazil etc which are aspiring to improve their economies and raise the living standards of their people. But these efforts are being perceived as contributing more to the gloable warming. The environmentalists and naturalists are now worried about the consequences of continued growth of these countries and the effect it may have on depletion of resources and increase in pollution and warming due to more industrialisation. Though it is true, is it justified to ask these countries to go slow on their development so that the already developed world can continue to enjoy their prosperity.

The other question is if these countries put a brake on thier growth, what effect it will have on the economies of the developed world like USA, UK, Australia and the OECD nations which see these countries as the market for their goods and depend on them to increase thier exports.
Not to forget the Big Oil Companies which take their raw material from much of the developing world and whose final products contribute to the pollution and global warming to a great extent. Will they or their stake-holders be ready to accept a big fall in their income/profits for the sake of improving the atmosphere and lessening the harmful emissions.

This is a classic catch-22 situaton where the speeding train cannot be stopped without a break-up, but continuing to speed ahead may take the train to disaster.

The only solution may be managed slowing down of the world economy, which requires consent and co-operation by all the major players. A system of compensation for the developing and undeveloped nations from the already developed nations may be required for this managed slow-down to take place. This requires sacrifice by every one. How this will be agreed to and implemented and who will supervise the same? Will the United Nations grab the leadership on this critical issue?

Already USA is proving to be difficult to realise its role in bringing the world to the present desperate state, and is refusing to contribute in any meaningful way. Who is strong enough to bring USA to the realisation that it has a big responsibility in leading the world out of this crisis. Will it be its friends like UK, Australia or its critics like France, New Zealand and other OECD countries which are part of the developed world as of today? Or will it be the new giants like India, China and Brazil etc which themselves are dependent on continued growth in their export markets in the developed world.

This is a very complicated situation and just more and more talk will only create more hot air and hard feelings. The time has come to think of radical solutions like massive transfer of wealth and aid to feed and clothe and maintain the undeveloped nations like those in Africa. A mechanism will have to worked out to tax the developed nations and use the funds to slow-down and manage the economic growth in other countries.

Time is running out fast and the train is hurtling towards an unknown land and uncertain future. Who will grab the throttle to manage a safe ride and arrival for the passengers?

Man Made Global Warming Debunking News and Views
Facts disprove warnings about global warming
by William Robert Johnston
in The Brownsville Herald, April 4, 2001, p. A10

A long time ago kings and rulers might be advised by magicians, astrologers, and other charlatans. These mystics would prey on leaders–and through them, on entire societies–by using the false superstitious beliefs of all involved. These people mostly went away with the advent of science.

But they’re back–this time using the name of science. A vocal minority of the scientific community, with the help of unqualified outsiders, has persuaded many politicians to pursue plans that would be economically devastating. The story this time is global warming.

The “global warmers” produced the Kyoto treaty of 1997. However, the facts completely disprove what these people are saying about climate change.

We’ve all heard the stories, reported as indisputable fact: The last century or decade is just about the hottest the world has ever been. Carbon dioxide from burning gasoline and coal is blamed. Unless their solution is enacted right now, temperatures will rise terribly in the next century. Icecaps will start to melt, coasts will flood, storms will get worse, diseases will spread, animals will die, and more. And it’s all because of us Americans.

The best lies contain a measure of truth. Yes, carbon dioxide in the air has increased in the last century due to the use of fossil fuels. Yes, global average temperature has increased 0.8 degrees F in the same century. Unfortunately, the temperature increase came first: most of the temperature increase was before 1940, and most of the new carbon dioxide was added after 1960. Would you trust a “scientist” who said the result came before the cause?

There are other problems, as well. Solar activity may be the cause of the world temperature changes. The global warmers can’t explain why satellites show no temperature change in the past 20 years. The computer models that predict disaster in a century have been completely wrong for the past 20 years. And no one can agree on the side effects.

Scientific facts actually helped unravel the treaty last year. Carbon dioxide is removed from the air by various natural and manmade processes, and world leaders couldn’t agree on how to credit for this. No one wanted the U.S. to get credit for removals of carbon dioxide, so negotiations faltered.

Most scientists use facts and logic to reach conclusions. It’s no surprise that over 17,000 scientists and engineers have signed a petition calling for rejection of the Kyoto treaty. This overshadows any collection of scientists that have endorsed the treaty.

The global warmers have failed to prove that man has caused a problem. This hasn’t stopped them from demanding we act, and act now.

The Kyoto Protocol called for the U.S. and other western nations to shoulder most of the limits on fossil fuel energy use. Developing countries suffer little or no restrictions.

Those countries are obviously enthusiastic. The economic powerhouses would have their hands tied, while would-be competitors like mainland China would not.

President Bush has sided with the scientific facts in recently declining to implement the Kyoto limits. After all, the treaty is so bad the Senate opposed it 95 to zero.

Bush and Congress must go further. They should refuse any regulation of carbon dioxide emissions whatsoever.

Consider the impact of the restrictions still promoted by some. The U.S. would have to put a 50 to 100 % tax on gasoline, heating fuels, and most electricity. Local farmers and landowners will face bureaucratic restrictions hindering the use of land. In south Texas, the result would just be massive inflation and unemployment. In the developing world, suffering economies would cause starvation and death. And for all this, the restrictions can’t be shown to make any difference to world climate.

The primary advocates of global warming remain the environmentalists. They propose a drastic solution to a non-existent problem–a solution which is, amazingly, the same political policy they have unsuccessfully sought to impose for decades. Many of their leaders oppose free markets and seek to limit human development, and global warming is currently the best means to these ends. If people are hurt in the process, so be it.

The current power supply problems in California are a perfect example. They are not a consequence of true deregulation, but of environmental and anti-free market restrictions on power production. This is the same thing proposed in Kyoto, and the same thing still promoted by some Washington leaders.

As you watch your gas and electricity bills go up, recognize this as only a taste of what could have been under Kyoto–and what could still be, if environmental politics and big government win out over free markets and scientific facts.

The fact that he had to put truth in the title is evidence that this is just a bunch of lies being sold to you as the truth too
