Beyond Top Secret

It is always better to lie than admit the truth, for it is our ability to decieve that separates us from the animals.

What does everyone think about "An inconvenient Truth"...

Is he just trying to score votes? Do you think global warming is a reality?

I never saw the movie - I prefer to get my science info from scientists, not politicians. But yes, I do think global warming is real. One good source on the issue is RealClimate.org. Here's a quote from their review of the movie.

"For the most part, I think Gore gets the science right, just as he did in Earth in the Balance. The small errors don't detract from Gore's main point, which is that we in the United States have the technological and institutional ability to have a significant impact on the future trajectory of climate change. This is not entirely a scientific issue -- indeed, Gore repeatedly makes the point that it is a moral issue -- but Gore draws heavily on Pacala and Socolow's recent work to show that the technology is there."

I think it's real (I saw the film - I may not like Gore as a politician (or his wife), but as a person he seems pretty cool).

I was totally convinced reading about Greenland getting a new island that wasn't there 10 years ago due to the melting ice. It was convincing proof.

yeah Tipper was real piece of work wasnt she. Was it the PMRC or something she was in charge of back in the late eighties pushing the precursor to what is now the "explicit Content" stickers we have on CD's worldwide now.
