Before I saw the movie, I was pretty up on the current state of the science, so I didn't change much, since I pretty much already knew it. I am looking into ways to make myself and my house more CO2/GHG neutral and will continue to do so.
I watched an incovenient truth last night

Objection.... conjecture.
!!!!!
Since watching it, I now stand on my roof naked and shriek for an hour or so every night. Not sure if it's realted to the movie though.
At least the climate's becoming more agreeable for that kind of activity.
Maybe...but it's still not especially...um...flattering...
algore has that effect on canadians

Maybe next time you should look up words you don't understand.
Maybe you should answer my questions.
Before flinging that back at someone, you might want to re-read what you wrote, since you did not use the word properly. An "allusion" is a reference by implication... Replace your word in the sentence and it doesn't make sense:
It may have just been poorly written, but it definitely wasn't used correctly in that context.
n00b.
good god.. we all know what he meant....
BTW, almost deafing is the silence of your opinions on the topic of AGW...
I beat my head against the wall so much because it feels so good when I stop.
just making the point that there is a huge amount of quite complex data and information relating to the subject... so much so, that even experts in the field can't come to a common agreement.
I find it odd that someone can embrace the belief on AGW without really knowing anything about it other than what's been posted on a few politically motivated websites...
No, that is incorrect. The vast majority of scientists have come to common agreement. It is a few outlyers that disagree (and most of those have suspect reasons.) It just like evolution. The vast majority of scientists agree that evolution is real, but there is still some quibbling over small matters, but that doesn't mean that the overall science is in question.
The movie was a pretty overall showing. I did learn some things from it, but not things that changed the overall thrust of the science.
Is that directed at me? What nerve. Irony, thy name is N8.
You're right. It's a huge complex problem so you should assume that because you can't wrap your head around it, no one else can, and therefore the reality is probably whatever is best for you.
I find it odd that someone can cling to a disbelief in a widely accepted scientific theory without really knowing anything other than what's been spoonfed to him from a few politically motivated websites.
Douche.
anyone read/reading Michael Chrighton's book "State of Fear"..???
well, i see Church is now in session!
'widely accepted'..????
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
belief in a christian god is 'widely accepted'...
The theory that N8 is a partisan-tool?
actually both have far more in common than you may want to believe.
Huh huh huh, you said tool.
If you're going to insult someone's intelligence over word usage, you'd better know how to use them.
Most of your posts have not been substantial enough to respond to. I read the paper you posted, which was pretty much garbage. Why respond myself when everyone else is doing such a good job picking apart your poorly informed opinions on the topic? I have some knowledge on the topic, but those responding generally have much more.
Yes. Crichton is a writer of fiction, and his work is appropriately fictional. He drew many poor conclusions with the data he presented and omitted much of the data or testimony referenced. It was a novel. An interesting novel, to be sure, one that I enjoyed reading... but it was still just a novel.N8 said:
Do a little searching and you'll find lots of information about where his novel was incorrect.
i haven't read it, but since this thread is about a fictional movie, i figured WTH.
Speak for yourself. I think he's a fvcktard.
F'in dumbass. This is how you use the word allusion in a sentence:
Doug Henning performed some wonderful allusions in his magic act.
Private obvious?
I don't get it.
Sounds kind of oxymaroonish.
I don't get it.
Sounds kind of oxymaroonish.
