Gore’s movie, which I saw today, was full of factual science and in my opinion let us see a looser, more human Gore than we saw in the race for Prez. It also was a political piece made to make Gore look good and I liked what I saw.
It was political theater too. Not much different than the theater the Repugs produce to make The Preznit look good, such as speeches in front of hand picked crowds.
I believed what I heard and saw, for the most part.
America can work to reverse the trends. We’ve got to vote the Repugs out of office first.

When the American experiment was started it was dedicated on issues of truth, fairness, and virtue (at least the Bill of Rights etc.) Of course the road has been very bumpy over the years and there have been many mistakes. Somehow though, the nation has remained and grown and people have come from far off to join. Bush has changed all that though, and yes you could perhaps trace it all back to raygun but bush has destroyed more quickly and more intently any sense of connection between the average citizen and governmnet, replacing representative decision making with plutocrats looting the tresury and making decision in the white house.

Unfortunately the damage done to the environment is something we will all have to adapt to, or perish.

While Georgie the prez, a man who really should only have been destined to be a gas station attendant, will gather with his golf buddies and the XMO criminals behind their walled Crawford compounds guarded by paramilitary forces like Blackwater, the rest of America and her people will be left to survive or to not survive.

These people, bush and the XMO criminals, foretell the end of the American Experiment, and it seems, it’s failure.

I understand that the Arizona Republican Congressional Deligation, along with all Republicans in Congress, recently refused to see Al Gore’s film on climate crisis, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Mr. Gore’s film simply uses science to make five points. Climate change is happening, it is very dangerous, it is being caused by us, there is no legitimate scientific debate about this, and it is not yet too late to do something about it.

But instead of recognizing that Mr. Gore and every reputable scientist might have a valid point and that you, who are in the unique position of actually being able to do something about climate crisis, might be able to help significantly, you have chosen to play politics.

You are willing to ignore everything we know about climate change in order to try to punish the Democrats. The possible results of climate change could cause untold destruction. There is still time to do something about the problem, but you and your fellow Republicans are dribbling away that precious time playing stupid games.

How on earth can you defend this position?

A serious response is requested.

Professor Bob Carter, of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University in Australia, on Gore’s film:

“Gore’s circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention.”

“The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science.” – Bob Carter as quoted in the Canadian Free Press, June 12, 2006

Richard S. Lindzen, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT, wrote:

“A general characteristic of Mr. Gore’s approach is to assiduously ignore the fact that the earth and its climate are dynamic; they are always changing even without any external forcing. To treat all change as something to fear is bad enough; to do so in order to exploit that fear is much worse.” – Lindzen wrote in an op-ed in the June 26, 2006 Wall Street Journal

The global cooling myth
http://www.realclimate.org/ind…..ling-myth/

Al Gore either says in the movie or in the interview he did with Charlie Rose that there will be training sessions in Tennessee this summer on how to deliver the message on climate change. Anyone have more info on this?
