-- A Terrifying Message from Al Gore
A Terrifying Message from Al Gore
just from the still image of Al Gore & Bender - you know it's gonna be good.
+hopes that this isn't repost+
It wasn't too amusing (when I first saw it come up on youtube) but it does give me hope for the next lot of episodes. 
The thing that bothers me about this whole global warming issue is how the Democrats try to pin it down as it being entirely our fault. I'm not saying that our rampant pollution is in any way helping the situation but I believe scientific fact has proven that the sun is heating up on its own accord. Meaning, sure, we could throw the bottle away, but the sun's still having its period, kind of like not telling a girl you're around all the time that she's atrocious when she's having her monthly blood-letting. She's still going to bitch at you no matter what.

just for the record, i wasn't trying to stir up political debate - i just thought it was funny that al gore even said he was trying to "Scare" you about global warming.
and the fact that bender, of all characters from futurama, was the one who was on there, because it doesn't affect him at all...what with him being a robot and all.

Republican talking point #9359:
The sun will one day supernova and destroy our solar system so we don't need to care about global warning or do anything to protect the environment.

| Originally posted by Spirit5 True, it does have cycles and the blame isn't solely on humans, however we have accelerated the process. So obviously there is a need to conserve, develop alternative fuels to protect our environment and to limit green house gases. This is the point the Democrats, and Al Gore in particular, are trying to make. It's pretty much common knowledge that we need to do something about this. I know this isn't a political debate but the environmental issue shouldn't be a political or partisan issue, it's just become one. It's a human issue, whether you want to live in a world that has clean air and clean water, or a world filled with pollution and disease, as well as the extinction of species, melting of the polar ice caps and other effects of global warming. It's just an important issue that will determine what kind of world we will live in. |

Just kidding, I get their stance, I just think the general context taken by the public who dare not tread into anything that needs further analysis is that the humans are directly dooming themselves and it's all our fault for being greedy man-beasts with cool videos and the internet. |

| Originally posted by Spirit5 Haha I know, i've not been posting long threads as much, instead I PM people my responses to certain issues raised in the MD forum. Yeah I mean i'm a Democrat, but I try to have a more moderate stance on things, because I feel both parties have their strengths and weaknesses and need to come to agreement on certain issues like this issue. I feel strongly that this issue shouldn't be an issue about politics or ideology but rather a mutual respect for our Earth. To me it's no different than how you treat yourself, your family and friends, strangers, other's home and your own. I mean it's something that should unite us all. The Supreme Court is going to have a debate soon about the environment and hopefully they will come to consensus that something needs to be done to limit green house gases, esp with big companies. The Earth is the home that we all share, and we should protect it for our survival and the survival of animals. That's not extreme environmentalism (like the ELF) but common sense... |
I support Al's effort. I think we can all agree something needs to be done, whether or not you agree with the level of distaster that is claimed in his book. Or the movie.
i won't mess with al gore because he's way too cereal about things.

Congressional Scientific Commission: Global Warming Is Real, Caused by Humans Friday, June 23, 2006 The National Academy of Sciences, reaching that conclusion in a broad review of scientific work requested by Congress, reported Thursday that the "recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia." A panel of top climate scientists told lawmakers that the Earth is heating up and that "human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming." Their 155-page report said average global surface temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere rose about 1 degree during the 20th century. This is shown in boreholes, retreating glaciers and other evidence found in nature, said Gerald North, a geosciences professor at Texas A&M University who chaired the academy's panel. The report was requested in November by the chairman of the House Science Committee, Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, R-N.Y., to address naysayers who question whether global warming is a major threat. Last year, when the House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, launched an investigation of three climate scientists, Boehlert said Barton should try to learn from scientists, not intimidate them. Boehlert said Thursday the report shows the value of having scientists advise Congress. "There is nothing in this report that should raise any doubts about the broad scientific consensus on global climate change," he said. Other new research Thursday showed that global warming produced about half of the extra hurricane-fueled warmth in the North Atlantic in 2005, and natural cycles were a minor factor, according to Kevin Trenberth and Dennis Shea of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a research lab sponsored by the National Science Foundation and universities. Their study is being published by the American Geophysical Union. The Bush administration has maintained that the threat is not severe enough to warrant new pollution controls that the White House says would have cost 5 million Americans their jobs. Climate scientists Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley and Malcolm Hughes had concluded the Northern Hemisphere was the warmest it has been in 2,000 years. Their research was known as the "hockey-stick" graphic because it compared the sharp curve of the hockey blade to the recent uptick in temperatures and the stick's long shaft to centuries of previous climate stability. The National Academy scientists concluded that the Mann-Bradley-Hughes research from the late 1990s was "likely" to be true, said John "Mike" Wallace, an atmospheric sciences professor at the University of Washington and a panel member. The conclusions from the '90s research "are very close to being right" and are supported by even more recent data, Wallace said. The panel looked at how other scientists reconstructed the Earth's temperatures going back thousands of years, before there was data from modern scientific instruments. For all but the most recent 150 years, the academy scientists relied on "proxy" evidence from tree rings, corals, glaciers and ice cores, cave deposits, ocean and lake sediments, boreholes and other sources. They also examined indirect records such as paintings of glaciers in the Alps. Combining that information gave the panel "a high level of confidence that the last few decades of the 20th century were warmer than any comparable period in the last 400 years," the academy said. Overall, the panel agreed that the warming in the last few decades of the 20th century was unprecedented over the last 1,000 years, though relatively warm conditions persisted around the year 1000, followed by a "Little Ice Age" from about 1500 to 1850. The scientists said they had less confidence in the evidence of temperatures before 1600. But they considered it reliable enough to conclude there were sharp spikes in carbon dioxide and methane, the two major "greenhouse" gases blamed for trapping heat in the atmosphere, beginning in the 20th century, after remaining fairly level for 12,000 years. Between 1 A.D. and 1850, volcanic eruptions and solar fluctuations were the main causes of changes in greenhouse gas levels. But those temperature changes "were much less pronounced than the warming due to greenhouse gas" levels by pollution since the mid-19th century, it said. The National Academy of Sciences is a private organization chartered by Congress to advise the government of scientific matters. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,200590,00.html |
