Serious stuff.

Has anyone else seen al gore�s movie? I�m convinced that we could see the end of humanity within our lifetime. If you haven�t already, go see it. There�s a political undertone of course, but for the most part you�ll be shocked by the science/facts he presents.

I told my co-workers about it and one of them started making fun of global warming. I said �Please don�t talk about it like that cause it�s an important issue to me,� to which he replied that he has the right to make fun of whomever and whatever he likes. I guess that�s why they tell us not to talk politics at work.

i don't know why that link won't work... :(

squeegebeckenheim on Jun 14 '06 at 5:10pm

how are you typing out the link?

it should be like this

a href="http://www.climatecrisis.org">put whatever text you want here

put a < at the beginning and you should be good to go.

squeegebeckenheim on Jun 14 '06 at 5:11pm

and after the text put

success!

Whole Grains on Jun 14 '06 at 5:13pm

hmm

it appears the problem occured with me copy and pasting out of word... i replaced the " marks in here, and then it worked... everything else was identical. i don't understand why it would make a difference

thanks!

jackanapes on Jun 14 '06 at 5:14pm

will it put me to sleep like every OTHER time i've ever seen him? (especially when he was making out with tipper. that put me to sleep and then gave me nightmares.)

Whole Grains on Jun 14 '06 at 5:15pm

he's cooler now. much more relaxed and personable then he used to be

juliejeremiah on Jun 14 '06 at 5:15pm

I'll watch that movie when I get the opportunity, do you know if there's a dvd release set yet?

tesco on Jun 14 '06 at 5:15pm

dont let it scare you, mate.

it's what they want

>_>

Whole Grains on Jun 14 '06 at 5:16pm

by the way, not to keep distracting from the problem of global warming, but my edit blog function won't work. anyone else have this problem?

jackanapes on Jun 14 '06 at 5:17pm

he's also fatter. except for girls, there tends to be a fat-to-relaxed ration in people.

jackanapes on Jun 14 '06 at 5:18pm

jackanapes on Jun 14 '06 at 5:18pm

oops.

KatieTheMofo on Jun 14 '06 at 5:18pm

What happened to this the first time this was posted?

shirtflirt on Jun 14 '06 at 5:18pm

don't believe the hype

Whole Grains on Jun 14 '06 at 5:21pm

that's no fair. if I knew getting fat would make me happier and relaxed, I might do it

Whole Grains on Jun 14 '06 at 5:22pm

i hope it's a joke you just made mr. shirtflirt

Whole Grains on Jun 14 '06 at 5:22pm

i deleted the first one cause of my broken link. this time i just don't care.

shirtflirt on Jun 14 '06 at 5:24pm

nah, no joke.

the science does show a climatic pattern occurring. undoubtedly.

but this has been going on longer than all their seismic counters and scales have been around.

this is only one small part of the entire sphere.

KatieTheMofo on Jun 14 '06 at 5:26pm

We're coming out of an ice age, of course it's gonna' get a little hot in hurrr.

shirtflirt on Jun 14 '06 at 5:27pm

yeah, sorta.

Whole Grains on Jun 14 '06 at 5:27pm

that's not true. Changes are occuring more dramtically within the past 40 years, more so then they ever have in the past 600,000 years. you shuold go see the movie, then come back here so we can chat about it.

Whole Grains on Jun 14 '06 at 5:28pm

It�s actually very scary how misinformed we�ve all been kept, myself included

illustraTom on Jun 14 '06 at 5:29pm

He did a good job of explaining things so they made sense. You get the impression that he's a smart, well-spoken guy.

And who knew he had a sense of humor?

shirtflirt on Jun 14 '06 at 5:31pm

Again, I'm not disputing the scientific data, per se.

What are they even comparing our way of life too/against? Do the scientist talk of what started certain climatic shifts in history? anyway, there is a very very large, global encompassing political agenda behind the making of this movie. it's not republican v democrat or environmental v corporation. it's about fear and the imposition on your reality.

Whole Grains on Jun 14 '06 at 5:31pm

yes indeedy. go gore.

i'm leaving work early today, by for now.

shirtflirt on Jun 14 '06 at 5:31pm

largest grossing power point presentation....ever

KatieTheMofo on Jun 14 '06 at 5:33pm

^Somebody else said to me, and I was wandering if the movie is really that crappy looking. I haven't seen previews of it so I have no idea. I'm waiting for a pirated copy of it to leak on the internet.

jackanapes on Jun 14 '06 at 5:33pm

i really try not to worry about it. there's nothing i as an individual can do, really, except bitch and moan and throw stuff at people in SUV's. instead, i've designed a rocket that will take me and others to the mars, which we will terraform and turn into a hippie commune utopia, minus all the oils and moustaches. keep the tied-dyed shirts though. i'd bet they'd look rad on a martian landscape. it'd be like the cover to some long-lost hawkwind album.

KatieTheMofo on Jun 14 '06 at 5:33pm

*wondering

shirtflirt on Jun 14 '06 at 5:38pm

*figuring

jackanapes on Jun 14 '06 at 5:39pm

*i'm too lazy to correct all my typos.

shirtflirt on Jun 14 '06 at 5:43pm

your point got across

but mars has already been inhabited

that was earth over 3 million years ago

that's like the hood of our galaxy....don't wanna go there

Whole Grains on Jun 15 '06 at 11:22am

go see the movie. that's all i'm sayin', yo

...or wait till it comes out on video, if you must

Whole Grains on Jun 15 '06 at 11:22am

hmm, is it weird to still say 'come out on video'?

shirtflirt on Jun 15 '06 at 11:24am

it's not weird to call it video.

everything is video, unless it's shot on film :)

also, i'll see the movie for chrissakes.

but bc you've seen the movie, you still haven't really negated anything i've said; you only retort, see the movie. why?

Whole Grains on Jun 15 '06 at 11:50am

i haven't really retorted because 1) by nature i'm not very good at debating issues and 2) i've had this discussion with quite a few other people already and it's sort of wearing down on me. However, in answer to your question

what are they comparing our way of life to/against

The best I can answer is they�re comparing our way of life to how life has been lived on earth for the past 600,000 years or so. They�re able to form a strong correlation between the amount of carbon emissions that we�re sending in the air toady and the dramatically rising global temperature of the earth. By drilling out ice cores, they can measure the carbon that was present in the air for thousands of years past, and have found that there�s more carbon today then ever before.

do the scientists talk of certain climatic shifts in history

yes they do, and again they have proven that there has never been such a dramatic change, espeically in terms of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Not only have carbon emissions never been this high, but the climate is changing at an exponentially faster rate then it ever has as far as they can trace back. The changes taking place do not fit the pattern of any naturally occuring climatic shifts that have happened in the past.

You say it�s about fear and it�s imposition on reality. Yes, it did leave me afraid, but only because it opened my eyes to what the reality really is. I think we have to be shocked into awareness this way, so we can act before it�s too late to reverse the impact we�ve made.

Whole Grains on Jun 15 '06 at 11:50am

anyway, i say see the movie because it does a far better job of explaining things then i can

catdogpigduck on Jun 15 '06 at 11:51am

I ride my bike, I'm helping

Whole Grains on Jun 15 '06 at 11:53am

thanks catdog. i just started riding my bike again too when i can.

shirtflirt on Jun 15 '06 at 11:53am

the main issue i took out of that was:

"i think we have to be shocked into awareness this way, so we can act before it's too late...."

they gotcha!

shirtflirt on Jun 15 '06 at 11:53am

i loves me bike

Whole Grains on Jun 15 '06 at 11:54am

i'm glad they did. i hope they get us all.

Whole Grains on Jun 15 '06 at 11:54am

i hope they give us all free bikes too.

shirtflirt on Jun 15 '06 at 11:56am

really.

you're glad they did?

i'm sure the movies so full of scientific data that it makes your head spin.

do they talk about windfarms and such that can help with the excess carbon dioxide?

alternatives and such?

Whole Grains on Jun 15 '06 at 12:04pm

what's shocking to me is that this scientfic data has been available for so long, yet has been ignored by many because society has already formed the minset that global warming is just an extreme liberal theory. I am very, very glad I saw this movie and now have the privellege of being aware of what's going on in the world, and how serious an issue it is. Yes they do talk about ways to help towards the end. This message would obviously be useless if they didn't offer ways to solve the problem.

it would be pretty cool if threadless did some sort of loves compeition to raise awareness of the issue

shirtflirt on Jun 15 '06 at 12:17pm

so if this datas been around for so long, why is it coming out now?

and, despite all this data, global warming is still a theory.

people have talked about this since the 80s, and now you find it important bc al gore said so?

Egirl3538 on Jun 15 '06 at 12:47pm

I plan to see it, there aren't many theatres here in Ky that show non-blockbusters so I have to travel to the closest bigger city to see anything good. I saw Thank You for Not Smoking & A Prarie Home Companion last weekend and they were handing out fliers and buttons for The Truth. Its a bit ironic that I have to drive in my car, which is contributing to global warming, about 40 minutes away to see a movie about stopping global warming. Sadly where I live there is bascially no way to get out of riding in cars, it would take hours and hours just to get to the edge of town by bike, there is no bus system, and there are no friendly neighbors to carpool with on little dead end roads.
