This was released last week on British Television. It's an hour and 15 minutes long.

Hmm.. I have been told that the number of scientists that don't believe in global warming (and the effect of CO2 on the environment) is similar to the number of scientists that don't believe in evolution....

I dont believe in global warming.
Although i dont have over an hour spare atm i will definatly watch that soon!

Just watch the documentary.

believe it or not, but that shit is happening. sorry.

[Gribble]

I hope I'm long dead before the shit hits the fan. America will never take serious measures to protect the environment. It's a lost cause.

You don't even want to watch the show?

I don't buy the whole global warming myth. From what I understand, many of the so-called "greenhouse gases" are released in far greater abundance by nature than what humans could ever produce. Also, history shows us that the earth has experienced periods of cooling followed by gradual warming over time. It's only natural the global temperature is rising when you consider we last had an Ice Age only a few thousand years ago.

Interesting that this scientific matter is becoming a partisan issue, much like "intelligent design". Perhaps this divide comes from the anti-science attitude of the Bush administration and is perpetuated by like-minded people.

Hmm.

Quite frankly, I don't care enough.

vashti -- you've made two posts in this thread, both of which are ad-hominem attacks. They amount to saying "you're stupid if you don't believe in global warming being caused by CO2 caused by mankind".

You never discuss the science.

I am on the side that says this Global Warming is true. It being cause by man made stuff or nature or a combination of the two, who knows. But there is enough evidence there for me to believe this.

The issue isn't whether global-warming is taking place (it is, and that's a good thing). It's saying it's due to any significant degree to mankind's increasing the amount of CO2.

Watch the documentary and you'll understand.

hold on, humans *are* part of nature and planet earth, therefore everything we do is in a way 'natural'. I do believe that global warming is man-made, or at least very man-accelerated. I also think people misinterpret the term 'global warming'. If too much fresh water (ice) melts, the dense salinity of the water of the north Atlantic current would become too fresh and therefore stop the conveyer. That'd make it *colder* in northern europe, not warmer. the planet is made up of too many intricate climate systems to really say it'll just get warmer everywhere.
