BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Democratic Party Human Rights Editors review of Inconvenient Truth

Well the high prarie gives it away. I also know it's not Gore with his lane lined with natural gas lamps that burn 24/7.

Did you know that the carbon offsets he buys are from his own company?

TomPaine.com has an intersting post comparing carbon offsets to the medieval Catholic Church practice of selling indulgences to sinners.

ROFLOL .. That is exactly the same thing it reminded me of when I heard about it the other day one the radio! I just couldn't remember the term "indulgences!"

do four dead polar bears really prove global warming?

The film is entertaining but it is meant to educate and a great many people are now using its "science" as proof of global warming, so it is a terrible piece of propoganda because of that. It even quotes the very much discredited Mann et al Hockey Stick as gospel and Mr Lonnie Thompson's work on Tropical glaciers where he managed to get six widely differing results from six ice cores and averaged them coming to the conclusion that suited him even that the average really was the opposite of four of his six cores.

Hi Mark,

I am not a science geek enough to evaluate the science in An Inconvenient Truth, but I do know that reducing our dependence on fossil fuels is in the best interests of our national security. So if the film gets us to plant a few more trees, cut our fossil fuel use, and maybe leaves the world a little better place than it was when we entered it---what�s the harm in it?
