Agreed...important above almost all else; perhaps other than freedom. Realistically, our Earth will not get sufficient protection from any of its major instituions in either US, EU, developing natios, until it becomes a matter of economic or strategic benefit.

Fearmonger (guest) - May 1, 2006, 20:29
Anyone who believes this should read "State of Fear" by Micheal Chrichton. He did tons of research and completely debunks the fearmongering these people are trying to cause.
Yes, we should take better care of the planet, but are things this drastic actually happening with such urgency these people proclaim? No.
In fact, research from last year indicates that now that the air is cleaner is some places, it's actually more causing more harm than good:
"Reductions in industrial emissions in many countries, along with the use of particulate filters for car exhausts and smoke stacks, seem to have reduced the amount of dirt in the atmosphere and made the sky more transparent.
That sounds like very good news. But the researchers say that more solar energy arriving on the ground will also make the surface warmer, and this may add to the problems of global warming."

How can you possibly believe this has happened in the last half century? The earth has its long term cycles just as each year has its seasons. Why dont you pull your head out of your ass and think for yourself. And America being at fault.... England and the like have been pumping toxins and pollution into the atmosphere long long before America was even dreamed of, "The Killer Fog" it seems this is always conviently neglected to be mentioned when someone want to blame MY country. This planet has been here for billions of years, if the speck of modern humanity has caused every problem to date, this world is in for a fuck of time. And recycling is nothing more than a big business ploy. The energy and resources used to recycle one glass bottle, can efficiently produce 5 new glass bottles... Just so you know, I stocked up on cfc propellants and spray them like most people smoke cigarettes, just to offset you whiney, crying, the world is ending, fucking morons..... Before I forget, Sweden is good for nothing but pornstars and piracy......

90% of C02 pollution is natural.
Global warming is happening, but it's not due to humans. The earth, as someone previously stated, has a cycle. This involves global warming up to the point where the polar caps melt, then the golf-stream is interfered by the cold water, and there'll be an iceage in northern europe. Now, I don't know the full cycle, but I know that it's 100% natural, and it will happen. We may create small fluxations in this cycle, but it's basicly nothing.

Looks like Britain in throwing that waste product agreement out the window, which you must know since you all have time on your hands sitting around doing nothing. Get a job and stop whining. Al Gore and the rest of the scare mongering idiots need an emergency in order to raise money, so they found one.

bob (guest) - June 5, 2006, 12:20
Democrats care as little about this as republicans. Its a fluke anyway, this planet has undergone natural climate changes throughout its history. What do you think suddenly caused an Ice Age? Was it humans damaging the atmosphere?! Nope, was simply the planet doing what it wanted to do.
I'm sure humans have changed the climate a very small amount, but not so much to cause 20 degree weather changes and melting of ice caps. please. when i see someone in the Arctic with a mile wide blow drier melting it himself then ill believe were the ones responsible lol.

btw, you are doing an awefull job up until now.. you are acting like a kid, I'm not worst, he is worse than me.. and bullying smaller countries just like kids do. I'm not saying its usa's fault, I'm just saying you need to set a good standard, as you are selfclaimed leaders and all

Here's some shit science for you fucktards who doubt this. 10 years ago approximately 600,000,000 cars in the world. 200,000,000 in the United States. But oh wait, it's the rest of the world who are the biggest polluters. This is just a natural cycle of the earth? Look out your friggin' window. Turn on the t.v. People dying from heat in the U.S. by the hundreds? Turn off your A.C. if this is all bullshit. And I love how you attack the messenger but can't defeat the message. So what if it's Al Gore. It could be Pee Wee Herman. It's still true. And as for him "inventing the internet", a quote taken out of context, much as John Lennon was misquoted, oh but wait, the outrage over that happened in the U.S. too. At least you don't hear him saying the internet is a series of FUCKING TUBES.

Ecen if those who is right when they say that global warmup is false, we really should try to reduce air pollution and water pollution. we already see the qonsequences of these pollutions like where i live. we used to have a nice lake but the last year it was pullution rain over the lake and all living stuff (fish and plants) died. Now we cant swim in it or eat the fish in it because it would be like drinking engine oil. truly.
Fox (guest) - August 18, 2006, 11:29

Maybe people would act a bit more seriously if we started saying "the planet will not be destroyed, it will be fine. It will go by Global Warming, and go back to being normal, the things that won't are humans!" Humans will not survive through it. The heat is rising everywhere, and I don't believe some people will even think that global warming isn't a threat.
Niedec (guest) - September 4, 2006, 09:25
Global Warming is a phrase picked up by the media, really. It's something that scientists are really on the fence about, and the media, as always, runs out of the research facilities screaming "THIS IS TRUE! EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE TONGIGHT!" It's really sad. Regardless of if Carbon Dioxide dissipates in the ozone layer or remains, it still causes pollution on ground level, causing smog like in Victorian Era London or L.A. So just don't run around spraying DDT everywhere, use a little common sense, and we should be fine. Oh, and helping the environment never hurt anyone, either. Seriously, helping nature isn't a democrat thing. If it doesn't hurt you, you have nothing to lose.

Al Gore is nothing but a fearmonger. The truth is Antartic in colder now than in 1980'. Medieval Warm Period (1000-1200 A.D) was warmer than 20.century. Global Warming is phrase picked up by media and hysteria gives more money to climate science though scientists have no concensus of GW.

Thank you Heikki. Also don't forget that the beginning years of the 1930's were hotter than the past 14 years, including 2005, and there is no consensus amongst the scientific community. This is nothing more than a ploy to grab back the political spotlight with an attempt to rally people around believed in lies. I only watched the trailer and caught already at least 10 if not more out and out LIES. Whether or not global warming is occuring, whether or not we are causing it, you really shouldn't need to lie to prove yourself. Ecspecially when the damn movie is called "An Inconvenient Truth". How quaint.

The Professor (guest) - September 15, 2006, 05:29
For all of you true scientists and objective people...When a glass of water and ice is left at room temperature, and the ice melts...does the water overflow from the glass? Fuck No!!!! The Arctic is not land, it is floating ice. Even if all the arctic ice in the world were to melt, the sea level would not be affected 1 inch. Maybe if these global warming liberal blowhards and even Al Gore himself want some credibility, try telling the truth. Until then, they can all blow it out their asses. (wait that will cause global warming)
mainvain (guest) - September 15, 2006, 05:48
the professor is right, but he left out one important point. Since Ice is less dense than water, if all the ice melted, the excess air trapped in the ice would be released and the reduced weight would cause the sea levels to actually drop. So if we really care about rising sea levels, then we all need to keep driving our SUV's and make sure the ice melts to prevent sea level rise.
The Professor (guest) - September 15, 2006, 05:51
Heikki from Finland is very smart and knows the history and science behind climate change. If only more people could be as educated...but if the truth about (the lack of) global warming really comes out, then all these "scientists" will have no "problems" to solve, and their funding will dry up. Wow!!! talk about a real inconvenient truth

I'm suprised that so many people are saying that people are stupid on here. I personally think that Global Warming is happening, and we might suffer for it, but the point is, I don't get why so many people are so against being a bit more environmental? Recycling is a good idea, using the same thing again, so what's wrong with that? Why do some people think it's better to throw it into the ocean than to re-use it.
Vikrum (guest) - October 23, 2006, 05:26

Dash (guest) - November 5, 2006, 17:39
Bullshit
You can't accurately predict a general pattern of warming based on 100 years of recordings. The climate of the planet has me in flux for the the past billion years and will continue to do so. The period during the age of the dinosaurs was believed to be considerably warmer then current day weather and was then followed by global cooling. Did you know that 2005 was actually colder on average then previous years? If global warming to so prevalent then why has 2006 been even cooler then 2005? And why have was the Hurricane season to mild this year? If global warming caused these so-called disasters, then why didn't it cause another? I realize that we are polluting the air with green house gasses, but it isn't significant enough to cause a general warming trend. If we gave it another 200 years or so we may see the beginning of one, but we all know that oil supplies will be completely diminished by then.
Keke (guest) - November 15, 2006, 11:04
Dash is right, weather patterns were never constant. Global weather changes have happened several times on Earth. It is NATURAL. The fact is, however, that we are not prepared. Instead of acting against nature's laws, we need to accept the fact that weather changes and will always change, and PREPARE for these changes.
ohlmert (guest) - December 15, 2006, 03:56
You can make people do bad things by frightening them. Maybe this film frightens some people and make them do good things. For me as a German, all this sounds quite boring. We sort the trash, our cars must have a three-way catalytic converter and our cans are with refundable deposit. It's sad, that the USA don't even care about the Kyoto protocol.
@Keke
It doesn't matter, if this is natural or not. there are also a lot of dead trees and we have other enviromental problems. caused by pollution and so on.
Just because people die naturally it's not cool to fire a gun the whole day, even if you never hit someone. But maybe you are one of these "learning by doing" guys.

Vilxan - January 19, 2007, 23:16
Right, well, Dash, you say that 2005 has been colder than the previous years, yet at the very beginning of the video, Al Gore says 2005 has been the hottest year. If you can give me evidence of your claim, I'll believe you. In 2005's winter, here in Birmingham UK, it was cold and snowing, yet, all through winter 2006, there hasn't been any snow at all. It is now late January, and there is still no snow. I think this is proof enough that as far as I can remember, all the years before 2006 had snow, except 2006-2007. Summer here is also a lot hotter. On BBC news, they said in southern England, we can now grow Kiwi's, and a bird from Turkey has emmigrated to Britain, because its the right temperature here, and its too hot in Turkey for it now. I think that this is proof. Also, as for "it was hotter in medievil times then now", I don't really know what happened, but back then, I think possibly the reason it got hotter was because of some change in the Earth's orbit around the sun, or something in our atmosphere, or something. I'm just guessing here, so don't consider that reliable. But, one thing that is reliable is the fact that the reason it is hot is because we are making it hot. I don't see how people in Medievil times could have made a greenhouse effect. It was meant to get that hot then. But now, its our own fault, and even if you don't believe in global warming, I don't see what is wrong with being a little more ecological. Its not hurting your life in any way, such as you don't need your car to drive to the shops. Walk. It's better for you and the environment altogether. If its too hard to walk a small distance, that is just being incredibly selfish.

Stop trying to think of ways to stop it, because sooner or later, it -will- happen. Rather start thinking of ways how to live -with- it. Although I do not fully belief it that it's mainly our fault anyway. It's the natural progress of any planet.

The later you make mistakes, the bigger they are. Hurry up US, China,....

Everyone who say just because Al Gore is a part of it it's not true, your mad! This is the most important thing in human history! it is we that has betrayed planet, we shall die because of our own mistakes to the planet which will be getting hotter,shall have more feakier weather,etc. this year in winter in my home town kolkata, the lowest temperature was 14 degrees centigrate! and last year in summer 8 young men died of heat wave! We have to do something before it's to late!
