nytimes.com — The world needs to divert substantially from today's main energy sources within a few decades to limit centuries of rising temperatures and seas driven by the buildup of heat-trapping emissions in the air, the top body studying climate change has concluded.

Thing is the scintist in this movie were missquoted and they even publicly announced this and that they not agree to the claims in this movie.Read about it here (search for swindle)<a class="user" href="http://realclimate.org">http://realclimate.org</a>A good movie is "Global Warming Discovery Channel"

No Poptech, those are not "more" videos - those are exactly the same discredited tabloid trash you've been peddling elsewhere.Stop Spamming!

Hi Pop,Um, I sometimes use Firefox at work - and even IE as i'm a web designer. I'm still confused how this has any impact on AGW? Could you expand?I would prefer it if you didn't link to your firefox site, though.Cheer,Your pal,TennisOK

That's the key here. Global Warming is a distraction. Industry will continue to spew heavy metals into the atmosphere, dump trihalomethanes and perchlorate into our water supplies all the while scared followers of the MMGW Church will be focused on CO2.Nothing will change, the earth will either heat up or cool down, and eventually the earth will be uninhabitable for real reasons, like because all of our air and water is no longer fit for human life.Oooh, but it might get another degree warmer. I'm too lazy to get up off my ass and turn the thermostat down a bit, so I'd rather criticize all those humans for making carbon dioxide instead. It feels better to blame someone, you know?

*sigh*Weather and climate are two very different things.

*sigh* yes, but the science behind them are the same. Long term and short term patterns are determined based on trends and such. Yes, whether it will rain or not is weather, but the temperature is pretty much climate, as far as determining if this summer or winter will be warmer or cooler.I know, most people really want to believe in man made global warming and will not listen to any scientist who says either it isn't significant, isn't man made or is actually quite normal. Most want to believe because they want to be good little environmentally aware people, but *sigh* climate and the environment are two very different things, as well.

@thcobbsit has now been demonstrated that fear is the only way simple minded people can be motivated to act.However, it has also been demonstrated that fear is used when the argument is weak, or when there is no solid basis of fact in an agenda.There's science, then there's politicized science. When you have a guy who came *this* close to being president winning an oscar for a power point presentation about global warming, I think it's obvious which form of science we're dealing with.

how can you say that there is consensus, then say that anyone who disagrees is a republitard? That would imply there's a lack of consensus.Just because Laurie David and Sheryl Crowe believe there's 'worldwide consensus" doesn't make it so. They lack any form of reasoning skills, and are acting purely on emotion and belief, not facts and science.
