What do you think about "An Incovenient Truth" of Al Gore (2006)?

Question

I don' t watch it in Italy (sigh!)

Answer 1

Well we were playing golf on Christmas Day here in Canada when it should have around 4 feet of snow. I recently spoke with a lady who works in Iqaluit Nunavut which is way up north. I asked her the same question and she said if you don't think global warming is a problem just visit the north. Native habitat and way of life is no longer sustaining the people. Everyday they are relying on government aid. I'm building my own ARC just in case.

Answer 2

Scott, there is unquestionably no assessment between that "enormous kick" decrease back interior the 70's and now. we've a accepted clinical consensus, supported via national academies, all the main considerable clinical institutes, mountains of info, and hundreds of analyze all announcing the comparable element: worldwide temperatures are increasing, and human released CO2 is (a minimum of partly) the reason. decrease back then you particularly had some articles printed in standard magazines, and a small quantity of scienitific hypothesis based on the those days found glacial cycles and the present reasonable cooling style from air pollutants blocking off the photograph voltaic. No every day headlines. No avalanche of clinical articles. No United international locations treaties and commissions. No G8 summits on the negative aspects. there is basically no assessment.

Answer 3

I think its a hard truth for people to swallow. This is actually happening and won't get any better until the world leaders take it seriously. Look at all the natural disasters that have happened in the last two years. Mother Natures way of punishing humans for the atrocities against our Mother Earth. Scary stuff.............

Answer 4

It was very good, very imformative and powerful. Al Gore did a brilliant job, and some parts were heart-breaking (the polar bears drowning) the only thing I didn't like was the political stand-point as himself.

Answer 5

It was a total fabrication of error. I wouldn't believe anything AlGore says. It was designed to scare people. If you can scare people you can control them. That's what it's all about. Read the book: State of Fear and you will know what is going on. They can't predict tomorrow's weather accurately so how can they say what the earth's temperature will be in 100 years? Don't fall for that stuff.

Answer 6

It was very enlightening. People all of the world should watch this film. Global warming is a problem for everyone

Answer 7

I should have voted for him! Bush doesn't do anything about global warming.
The movie itself is more than a warning. For a documentary film, it's not boring at all.

Answer 8

I think it's about frickin time!

But, there is another that I saw last night, you maybe able to catch this somewhere on the web... It was called "Earth 2100: Wild Weather Ahead".

It shows the shrinking of the Amazon River, and what that will do to the South American Continent, the melting glaciers (of course), Hurricanes, the European weather, and how it is changing, the new arrival of hurricanes where they have NEVER been before (the Atlantic Ocean in the SOUTHERN Hemisphere!) etc.

It was very interesting. And very NON-politically motivated.

****** As for Lamont's stupid answer above... Geez man WAKE UP!!!

FIRST, pay attention to THIS: Climate prediction is fundamentally different from weather prediction, just as climate is different from weather.

Look at THESE facts!!!:

Killer Heatwave in European where fruit and wheat product went way down...

Bizarre storms in England. Some with "Hurricane force winds" striking London...

The Amazon River drying up, and GRASS growing where it had been! (October, 2005 http://www.uswaternews.com/archives/arcglobal/5majodrou11.html)
