A Convenient Truth?

So I finally got around to watching An Inconvenient Truth on DVD the other day; pretty scary stuff.

Still, I'd like to get the reverse perspective, if possible. I know that when Farenheit 9/11 and The DaVinci Code came out, there were tons of sources that had facts refuting both. Does anyone know if there's a good documentary or book that does the same for Gore's movie?

After watching the facts, I can't see how anyone can refute that we're in some type of trouble. But I know Surly is pretty anti-climate change, so hopefully there's something out there to give me the other side.

Surly is pretty anti-climate change

stated alternatively, surly is pretty anti-science.

i am anti-organic chemistry. shit's too tough.

I'm just wondering if the Dinosaurs were bitching about global freezing before….well, the globe froze and wiped them all out!!!

i'm betting they didn't, but they didn't really have a handle on things like the SCIENTIFIC METHOD either. neither did cavemen.

But the cavemen gave us fire, so global warming is their fault, the bastards!!!!!

if you accept that the source of facts is unbiased science, then no you won't find a good rebuttal. you might find some good "qualifiers", though - not "is there a problem", but "the problem isn't so bad". scientists agree something is happening, but no one is sure where it's going or how bad it's going to be.

yeah, that movie is a scary one. the lady and i took a few new year's resolutions after seeing that film… every little bit helps.

On WMAL, you can hear the great scientific minds of today like Shaun Hannity, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh refute global warming on a daily basis

But the cavemen gave us fire

they must have given us this administration as well.

Limbaugh still around huh….I was hoping maybe he od'd on his prescription drugs, the fat twat.

How about G. Gordan Liddy…he still with us? and pluggin that stuff that gives old men like him a woody.

Who's that annoying angry old git (not me!) on am radio in the evenings, and what about that right wing bitch? Laura somethingorother.

Do you think they'll go away or just get louder now the dems have control.

other than sen. inhofe, i think most of the differences on this topic deal with what do human's contribute to global warming and what is simply naturally occurring? in other words, the earth naturally goes up and down in temperature- so what part of this current upswing in the earth's temperature is caused by humans ("greenhouse gases") and what is part of the earth's natural fluctuations.

if you can stand it, you can find out about how global warming is the biggest hoax of our time here. . .it may take a bit to load.

15% of Irelands global warming gasses comes from cow farts….seriously.

What are they supposed to do about that? I suggested to my missus we invent a fart catcher for cows then the farmers can use it to run their tractors.

I would personally tax the shit out of gasoline and get all these idiots out of their Hummers and Escalades.

Me too. Also I'd dedicate NASA to alternate fuel and renewable energy research

I'd like to ask the panel what they would do if they were Hitler?

Come out of hiding in Argentina?

Go to Haircutlery and get something sorted with that hair..

Michael Crichton's book "State of Fear" is basically debunking Global Warming.. Its a long, kinda boring read..

My question is this: Why not try to be more careful with what you consume? Just in case we really have a big impact. Maybe the slogan could read: "Global Warming Precautions: Just in case we are right"

I'd appoint George Clooney president. He would save the world for sure.

"surly is pretty anti-science."

Polar Bears are endangered…yikes!

Polar Bears have been around for 25 million years. I think they've learned to adapt to climate changes.

Oh, and by the way yinzer: BLOW ME!!!

please don't take it so personally. i'm sure there are many issues upon which reasonable people could differ and we might agree such as alchemy, witchcraft, or intelligent design.
