My Comments:


It's nice to see something speaking out about the subject. It's even nicer to see not only scientists from around the world but even one of the co-founders of Greenpeace speak about the subject.

Now. I'm all for not polluting. I currently drive a 16+ year old car that gets 30-35MPG and wouldn't mind riding a bike to work if it didn't mean arriving all sweaty. One of my ideal cars is a VW Golf TDi that gets 40+MPG on diesel (and I'd love to brew my own biodiesel, but that's more for the cost savings than anything else).

My Christian upbringing tells me that we [humans] are stewards of this Earth and everything on it. My moral compass says that the less we do to damage it, the better. I would mind nothing less than not depending (as a nation [the US]) on foreign oil for energy.

BUT MY GOODNESS THE GLOBAL WARMING CRAP HAS TO STOP!

I watched (in the theater, paying $8/ticket, no less) "The Day After Tomorrow" and regret every second of it. I should send Art Bell a bill for the 2 hours of my time and $16. As much as I loved listening to Coast-to-Coast last year, Art (nor anyone else on that show, ever) is not and should not be taken seriously as a scientist. The single most annoying line in the movie had to do with air coming down from the stratosphere and not warming up due to increase in pressure because "it's coming down too fast". I haven't watched "An Inconvenient Truth" for the same reasons I haven't watched "Fahrenheit 911" and regret watching "Bowling for Columbine": I don't like wasting my time with inaccurate hippie-s4 reactionary emotional appeals for things I otherwise disagree with.

The parts in this documentary about developing countries in Africa are perhaps the saddest of all. I can't think of a continent that needs some form of modernization and development more than sub-Saharan Africa. The audacity of these 'environmentalists' to tell them that they need solar/wind or nothing instead of using the resources they have (oil/coal) is just... mind boggling.

I just hope that more people realize that 'global warming' is just cheap sensationalist fodder for the media.
