Question

Please do not answer if you have not seen it. If you don't believe it, please mention specifics as a way to prove you've seen it.

Danger - an uninhabitable planet.

Answer 1

it was a movie based on fact. i do not understand what you mean by "we are in great danger".

Answer 2

Have seen only parts... Nobody really denies we are in a warming trend it is the connection to humans that makes it hard to digest, and if any connection what do we do just die off to save the Planet? All the worlds Glaciers have been receding since 1750 as a fact. They have advanced and receded 100's of times before that much is well known. What is unknown is the amount of time it took to advance or retreat. But here is the other side, Let us assume it is 100% correct. Since the 1970's the US has gone from a very big pollution problem and made great advancements other Nations do not follow. The USA feeds a good portion of the world as well as supply medicines. Food and Medicine Production packaging and transportation Uses a great amount of fossil fuels, If the USA stopped tomorrow and Took care of only the USA the Poor of the world would suffer greatly. the Amount of War and disease and Starvation would be horrific! Are you willing to turn off your electric and heat? Stop driving? We can work towards better goals but will China and India Follow? What of the South Americans and Africans? We may have to find a way but this version of "truth" is based on way too little real fact in spite of how it is "sold".

Answer 3

I saw it and have a scientific education. Much of the so-called proofs were misrepresentations and exaggerations. Everything is predicated on a theory that has not been proven but is treated as fact. There still are many unanswered questions about other heat sources, previous higher temperatures unrelated to CO2, the relationship and source of methane concentrations, failure of the global climate models and a myriad of other issues. The panic mongering is even sorse. The planet is not going to be destroyed. It is not physically possible for the surface to become as hot as Venus nor is there enough water to drown all the land masses. Pure BS! In fact, the tropical and temperate zones will likely increase in size as the climate warms.

Although, for obvious reasons, you have to search hard for the evidence, much data from dissenters has been suppressed politically and the press refuses to report it. Instead, every time somebody tries to dispute man's alleged involvement in global warming the zealots accuse them of working for the oil companies or being a republican. Perhaps you should ask why more than 18,000 US environmental scientists signed a petition asking President Bush not to sign Kyoto.

Yes, you can say that a majority of scientist are not disputing global warming and I do not dispute the climate is changing, it hhas been for more than four billion years. However, 25 years ago a majority of scientists did not dispute the threat of an ice age. A majority of scientists did not dispute the need to supppress forest fires either and that is rapidly becoming a disaster. At one time a majority of scientists did not dispute that the earth was flat. The statement "A majority of scientists..." holds absolutely no water. I want non-politicized, scientific proof, not theory and conjecture, which is all Al Gore's movie was. Nothing less will ever convince me.

Answer 4

I have seen it and it is all based on hypothetical items. None is a true fact, not one. As a ,matter of fact. I remember 30 years ago when they were warning of a new ice age coming, now its a global warming trend. The truth is that the earth does go thru cycles almost every 10 years. This stuff is so ridiculaus and is going to cost a lot of money to everyone for nothing.

Answer 5

Why are all of you "open-minded" human beings so confident Al Gore is sweet? You accuse people who don't trust what you have been instructed of being closed minded, consistent with probability you're merely as closed minded. how a lot of you're climatologists? Why could no longer this merely be a typical cycle? consistent with probability you may supply up the call calling and wait to work out the place each and all the evidence leads us, no rely what any of the speaking heads say.

Answer 6

Regardless of whether it is true, we all need to make changes simply because if we don't: the air we breath will continue to become more and more poluted; the water we drink will require more and more treatment and may even become less available; our lands will disappear under piles of obsolete electronics, software, plastics, and old rusted and dry rotted cars.

It's a no brainer and if we can't figure that out without watching some old politician, then we're just thoughtless ignorant individuals.

Answer 7

Saw it. Propaganda at its finest.
