Al Gore

Who is to say that the global warming is not a natural progression of the evolution of this planet or the solar system in general? Man can't even predict this afternoons weather with any degree of accuracy let alone know how the atmospere surrounding our earth is changing due to man or on its own accord! They have been studying it for what??? Maybe 60 years and how much of that time have they really been serious about it??? Maybe half that time?? Give them another 30 years and they will have another "theory"!

Hey did you forget Karl, he's gotta be hip to these Hollywood types

to get ideas for Rockin Friday Nites with Tagga.


Problem with global warming, it's not just us but the expolding

population of the world. How are you going to get the third world

countries to stop air polution when they're trying to create an

economy to survive?

My wife does ... Came up from the cave and saw Al Gore talking and pointing to a large map . I thought it was funny Al doing the weather man bit until I listened . I don't feel educated enough on the subject to have a strong opion . I will be looking into it more and paying closer attention starting with this documentary . It spurred my interrest and just passing the info along . I do believe we are consuming all the earth resources at an alarming rate and man kind in general is similar to a cockroach overunning the planet . Just for the record ...Oprah is hot ,,,, with lots of make up that is .. without makeup ?

Regardless of what position you take, here's my issue.

There certianly is debate as to how much influence man is having on atmospheric warming, but the energy industry and their right-wing mouthpieces are trying to kill the debate completely.

The net effect of this is that as a country or a planet we're simply not going to be prepared for very real threats to the global environement.

Additionally, there's tremendous potential for a US led Green Industry to bolster the US economy for decades, but this is being held back by those looking to bleed the Earth dry in the name of short-term profit.

Not only is this hurting economically, but it's continuing to fund the same middle eastern nations who are supporting terrorisim.

But say this to Rush Limbaugh and it's all just a liberal conspiracy

First of all why is this not in Scuppers?

Second,for all that man contributes to the downfall of the environment there are two things left out of Al's "documentary".

The Earth ALWAYS warms before an ice-age and yes kiddies we are due.How do we this know this you may ask?Well besides revolving around the sun the Earth also moves in and out of the Galactic Plane(above or below the Disc we call the Milkyway).This "in and out" movement directly affects the distance of the Earth in Aphelion or Peraphelion.This phenomenon is easily read from rocks.

The second thing is that Earth is due for what is called a "flip-flop".This is the changing of the magnetic poles.This occurs at or around the same time as the onset of an Iceage.We are so close to a "flip-flop" we all may actually see it within our lifetimes.

These occurrences are facts.Al kinda forgot that.

Looks like the "inventor" of the Internet is running out of money and needs to sell himself.He's as much a joke as Bush.

I would say that in part it is a natural progression, but we are speeding the progression. I also believe that the earth has been through a lot more, and soon any and all human existance will be wiped free either from man made destruction or natural causes and after another 5-7 hundred million years life will reinvent itself again. its happend before in the earths cycle and it will continue to happen. i have no solution for stopping global warming, as someone said the earth is overpopulated, and thats a major issue. but i know for sure that humans are speeding the process of global warming and it could very well be the end of human civilization as we know it. maybe not in our lifetimes, but in our childrens or childrens children if we continue to destroy the atmoshpere at the rate we have been.

I more believe that the natural evolution of the planet is whats going on....if politicians or guys like Al Gore would close their "hot air holes" more maybe that would go a long way towards helping!

Just kidding a bit! I think it is admirable what Al Gore is doing.....my hat is off to him!

Saw him on Oprah, it was compelling. Not necassarily a Gore fan, but what he has to say here is worth our attention. This is something that in the end has no party line.
The pieces of ice blocks that Antartica is loosing are larger than the Rhode Island.
I'll have to make a point to watch the video and read the book.
Nice post.

I suppose the global warming by overpopulation could be likened to a huge cold empty function room....you walk in there its cold, and then as the room fills with people it warms to a point you can't stand it any longer! Thats not to mention the effects of all of the waste produced by so many...co2...emissions from cars etc.

A lot of smart people are wrong. When Bill cites John, and John cites Pete, and Pete cites Harry, and Harry cites Bill - somthing's up.

Look, it's great to try to predict the future, but take a look at your local 5-day forecast and tell me how accurate the 5th day turns out to be. Then tell me with a straight face that these people are predicting what the weather will be within 5 degrees (the magnitude of what we're talking about here) in 40 years. Bullchit.

You want to live longer, change the batteries in your smoke detector.

This is all politicians drumming up support by using something that's about a trillion times less likely to kill you than lack of exercise, smoking, car accidents, cancer, etc, etc, etc.
