I admit that I haven't seen the movie (yet), but before I go in and watch it -- this is my mindset:The earth is over 4 billion years old. The oldest record of conditions that we as humans have is an ice-core dating back maybe 600,000 years. There's a very, VERY large chunk of our planet's history that we don't know ANYTHING about.30 years ago, scientists were flipping out because they thought that the Earth was entering a second Ice-Age. They thought that global cooling was happening.Since 1850, we've put about 100 billion tons of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, that number rises by about 7 billion tons each year. Volcanoes and decaying plants send 200 billion tons of it to the atmosphere every year. Once again, we don't have a proper view of the rest of earth's history, so our measly 100 billion tons of CO2 might not even be a drop in the bucket as far as earth's history is concerned.Also, look into the earth's "carbon cycle". Smaller scaled versions of what we're experiencing now have happened in the earth's distant past -- without human contribution. Keep that in mind.Yes, I know that we as humans have a duty to protect our earth. I am for every environmental conservative and preventative measure taken by humans to keep our wonderful green and blue marble healthy. But all this scare-mongering isn't helpful, it's just energy wasted in the wrong place.Al Gore is great, by the way. My predisposition has absolutely nothing to do with him.
Though I do not share your enthusiasm for Gore....You are right on. All the scare mongering is very short sighted and largely politically motivated. I think the facts are that we don't have enough data to come to rational conclusions about what is really going on in the big picture.
"But since the changes occurred over thousands to millions of years, the ecosystems could adapt and maintain the various cycles."Actually, you're completely wrong. If you look at the temperature data, there have been many rapid temperature changes throughout the course of the earth's history, such as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. And our present temperature increases, while higher than the maximums of the past two 100k-year cycles, are still not anywhere near as high as past maximums--and no more or less rapid.Your "oil executive" comment reveals you as a clueless Marxist. Have fun.
Dammit, I wanted to download 'Gay gentlemen from space' too and I got this crappy ecologist movie with some politician talking about the future blah blah blah.P2P sucks.
<a class="user" href="http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=24760_The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle&only">http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=24760_The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle&only</a>its all lies , say what you will to me but that's the truth there's no hard evidence its our fault at all. I'm not saying we should all do are best to destroy the planet though. Temperature cause increases in CO2 not the other way round, yes AL GORE is right there is a direct relationship but the inverse of what we are being told. 0.054% of the atmosphere is CO2 that's nothing the single most important green house gas is water vapour CO2 is insignificant. Nature, by decomposition of trees and leaves creates 200 GIGAtons of CO2 in a year, we produce all but 6!! The cause of global warming? Well the sun, of coarse we are insignificant to the sun its absolutely outstandingly big and gives of loads of energy, its where all the fossil fuels energy came from in the first place. And another thing melting ice caps wont make the sea levels rise whatsoever get a glass of water put some ice in it it will displace its volume in water then when it melts the level wont change at all.And as well the IPCC or whatever its called uses scientists names who have resigned just to make up their 2500 of the worlds top scientists, half of them don't agree, its not true "most" scientists agree with global warming they just know they'll get their heads chopped of if they speak out.We are now beyond the point at which anyone will believe me or anyone one else because its such a political thing now, so many peoples jobs depend on it, what would they show on the news if this was proven not true?If I'm honest I don't care if you believe me or mock me or what ever, because I know its not true i know the human race wont be wiped out by massive storms and huge global floods, but believe what you will....

Everyone knows that global warming is 50% Man's responsibility, 50% the Bears, and 50% the Pigs.
