What are you gittin' at Henry? :razz:

You know, scientists diagree on everything and blah blah blah, so where's that convenient excuse now, huh Mr. Funnyman...I know a scientist; he says that Enzyte doesn't work because if it did, they wouldn't still be giving them away for free on TV.  I know another scientist that has taken Enzyte, and he disagrees (but his wife thinks otherwise). :biggrin:

That many out there want us to jump through hoops and claim the sky is falling, and even give them an Oscar.  More and more scientist and evidence is coming out, supporting that this whole, global warming thing is NOT a man-made problem that can be eradicated by cutting CO2 emissions...

don't need to get all cyincal about enzytes or whatever...I'm gitten at exactly what I'm intending too... ;) ;D

If it really does what it says it does, there would be no need to give them out for free on TV anymore (it's been what, 3-4 years that they've been doing this?).  Them pills should be a gold mine, especially in China. ;D


But back to topic, I watched the anti-christ program on the History Channel last night, and even though I consider myself a believer in science, I now believe that science is the anti-christ (nuclear bombs, industrial revolution technologies that pollute the earth, techno music)...so I guess you can call me the Son of Satan.  Wait, that wasn't on topic...sorry.

Al Gore Challenged to International TV Debate on Global Warming

PERTH, Scotland, March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a formal invitation sent to former Vice-President Al Gore's Tennessee address and  released to the public, Lord Monckton has thrown down the gauntlet to  challenge Gore to what he terms "the Second Great Debate," an internationally televised, head-to-head, nation-unto-nation confrontation on the question,  "That our effect on climate is not dangerous."
(http://ff.org/centers/csspp/docs/20070316_monckton.html)
 
 
    Monckton, a former policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher during her years as  Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said, "A careful study of the substantial corpus of peer-reviewed science reveals that Mr. Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth, is a foofaraw of pseudo-science, exaggerations, and errors, now being peddled to innocent schoolchildren worldwide."
 
 
    Monckton and Gore have once before clashed head to head on the science, politics, and religion of global warming in the usually-decorous pages of the London Sunday Telegraph last November.
 
Monckton calls on the former Vice President to "step up to the plate and defend his advocacy of policies that could do grave harm to the welfare of the world's poor. If Mr. Gore really believes global warming is the defining issue of our time, the greatest threat human civilization has ever faced, then he should welcome the opportunity to raise the profile of the issue before a worldwide audience of billions by defining and defending his claims against a serious, science-based challenge."

A top hurricane forecaster called Al Gore "a gross alarmist" Friday for making an Oscar-winning documentary about global warming.

Over the past 24 years, Gray, 77, has become known as America's most reliable hurricane forecaster; recently, his mentee, Philip Klotzbach, has begun doing the bulk of the forecasting work.

Rather than global warming, Gray believes a recent uptick in strong hurricanes is part of a multi-decade trend of alternating busy and slow periods related to ocean circulation patterns. Contrary to mainstream thinking, Gray believes ocean temperatures are going to drop in the next five to 10 years.

Did he see the movie? 

QuoteBut those who have seen it had the same general impression: Gore conveyed the science correctly; the world is getting hotter and it is a manmade catastrophe-in-the-making caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

"Excellent," said William Schlesinger, dean of the Nicholas School of Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University. "He got all the important material and got it right."

Robert Corell, chairman of the worldwide Arctic Climate Impact Assessment group of scientists, read the book and saw Gore give the slideshow presentation that is woven throughout the documentary.

"I sat there and I'm amazed at how thorough and accurate," Corell said. "After the presentation I said, `Al, I'm absolutely blown away. There's a lot of details you could get wrong.' ... I could find no error."

BTW, I just noticed your title is misleading. Some global warming is natural, but mankind has accelerated the effect.  :rolleyes:

don't get me wrong, i'm all for cleaning up the air, and land and sea.  i'm just not happy that it takes calling it "doomsday" to get that done.

It will be "doomsday" if it isn't taken seriously soon. Unfortunately, the people who have the most influence over every aspect of the issue,  haven't taken it as seriously as they should have. For example, cutting the funding on National Parks, lack of funding and or support for alternative energy (yeah Bush talked about it, but that's about it), etc.  It's a simple and supportable fact that we can't continue as a plant at the current rate of consumption and expect not to ruin our planet.

QuoteGlobal warming will affect societies around the world through more prolonged droughts, more intense rains and flooding, changes in the timing of seasonal rainfall and snowmelt, and a projected increase in the spread of animal- and insect-borne diseases, scientists say.

You didn't even comment on my source. I thought you'd be proud of me, shocked or something.  :biggrin:
