Either that or they own lots of XOM.\n\nJust to set the record straight...these aren't "natural changes".\n\nIn the past, increasing carbon dioxide (called food for plants) + sunlight would increase vegetation and consume the excess CO2, thereby "cleaning" the atmosphere of the greenhouse gas. That was the natural cycle. \n\nNow we have increasing CO2 (at obviously unnatural rates due to manufacturing, atuomobiles, etc - all human, not ecologically natural, activities) COUPLED with human destruction of forests (the vegetation that "cleans" the atmosphere of greenhouse gas).\n\nIncreasing CO2 + decreasing forests equals unnatural, unbalanced, global problem of massive proportions.\n\nThat's why Al Gore, in the film "An Inconvenient Truth", says the first step in fighting global warming is to PLANT A TREE!\n\nThe folks who preach the "natural cycle" myth are not at all thinking about the issue logically!

Everything in opposition of the Bible drives them crazy. It's already been established that it is fiction, and not even an original piece of work as it was stolen from other writers. But some people believe that it is really possible. That's their perogrative. I have not seen the movie so I can't comment on the contents. \n\nBut I agree you really do have to wonder when someone gets that upset over something. Perhaps it's not near as strong and firm as people would like you to believe if they get that threatened by a work of fiction.

Just heard a blurb on the news the other day stateing that Fla. is at the top of the list for home repo`s. Oh and by the way, have`nt heard of any UFO sitings recently, but the aliens HAVE landed!!!! And "Mopar", they`re not palmetto bugs. They`re COCKROACHES!!!!!!!!! All silliness aside, although I reside in Fla. You could`nt pay me to live in most of the hubbles they`re throwing together down here. I`m still scratching my head wondering why anyone would construct a domicile of wood in a region infested with insects that have this material as their only food source. These are the same people that are building multimillion dollar houses on "marshes". Ya`ll know what marshes are. Most of the rest of the country call them swamps!!!!  The idiots building on the ocean are`nt any better. A small contingent of ocean front owners in Ponte Vedra want the state to pay to rejuvinate their erroded beach. I say, why should I pay for it. Sorry but you built on "SAND"!!!! Mother`s gonna take what`s hers. Sometimes with a vengence. Regarding the people coming in droves!! Be prepared for road rage, the traffic already SUCKS!!!! And there aint no relief in site!!!  RED HOT? Yeah all tempers!!

No they're not human.\n\nDid you ever see Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the movie in which the aliens come down to devil's tower in Wyoming and chooses Richard Dreyfus to come with them to their more advanced culture.\n\nThat is a story about conservatives bringing a liberal out of a darker society into their wonderful light.\n\nNobody is quite sure about what the aliens will do or whether they are dangerous or anything like that, but the man whom they choose to follow them, Richard Dreyfuss' character we know is very lucky indeed to have been brought into this pure and undefiled existence.\n\nDo you see how horribly it wrecks the man's life though.\n\nGrowth is a painful process, and liberals are like little children who either are or are not able to respond to the rigorous nurturing techniques through which conservatives would bring them to the light.\n\nThe light is too bright for their eyes, and it causes pain, so they say conservatives cause me pain, but actually the pain is a result of their inability to stand in the light, because of their weak eyes.\n\nThey have been standing in the dark for too long.\n\nPoor blind children.\n\nHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Hmm,...  better chance then a Comet,.. not as dangerous as a Comet,...\n\nAlthough I enjoy the Advertisement where the old guy is like "  Global Warming in 20 years *train honks in background and you figure out he is on train tracks with it heading towards him*  NOT MY PROBLEM"  then he hopes off and a little girl is standing behind where he was about to get hit.\n\nI don't think this is something I could prepare for or care about.  Also you might get some people here that will fight with you about how the South Pole doesn't exsist because Santa doesn't live there or something.\n\nAgain,.. nothing we could do and hopefully not my problem.  But HEY,.. if it actually hit the South Pole hard enough (which it will hopefully break down before getting there) then maybe some people will get an unexpected Tropical Vacation before the flood of cold water decreaces temp of Earth and as some project would send us into an Ice Age again.

Actually, The Day After Tomorrow (the book) is written by an ACTUAL meteorological scientist.  The movie is based on his book which has some solid scientific fact. It will happen and it's already started. Glaciers are melting in Greenland and will totally be gone in 100 years. Antartica's ice is also melting as well as the Artic Circle. Along the East Coast the North Atlantic Oscillation which feeds warm Gulf water to the north which cools it and sends it back south to warm up is falling apart, the warm water is getting colder faster and taking longer to warm up.\nThere is more information at the second site cause I can't type it all. lol

Hang about.  Can you imagine if the Kazakhstanis put out a film taking the piss out of Jews?  The furore that followed would be immmense.  \n\nHowever, because this is a Jewish comedian taking the piss out of a small Muslim naiton that most people have only heard of because of Borat, it is seen as odd that the minister is annoyed.  \n\nIf it were the other way around, the Israelis would be doing  anut, and the U.S. would be demnding an apology, not promoting the damn thing.\n\nYou have to appreciate that different people find different things funny.  Different cultures have different senses of humour, and we should acknowledge that.  \n\nAll the examples you cited are true.   Our Prime Minister is an idiot, football (let alone footballerS) is a joke, but half of the stuff that is associated with Kazakhstan in this film is completely made up.  If this were on a personal scale, someone spreading absolutle lies (which are harmful, even if made jokingly) about naother person, they would be sued, but because this is telling malicious lies about a whole country, it is seen as ok.  \n\nI am sure the Kazakh minister can take a joke, it is just that this one is probably not to his taste as he and his countrymen are the butt of it.\n\nIf it were aimed at the Americans, then why does Cohen have to choose an actual country?  Why oculd he not have chosen a made up country to center his joke around, like those fake tourist guide books that sell so well?

I'm a conservative, and I'm also pro-environment and pro-animal rights.  But I do think that the entire "global warming crisis" has been blown out of proportion by special interests.  The scientists who speak the truth are silenced.

Just watched the movie myself. I was already supportive of the war, but even more so now. I really don't think they get it at all! Not even a little bit. I think they are so consumed with hatred for Bush and the republicans that they can't see what is obvious. We are in serious trouble if they take over control of our country. They don't understand the evil that is out there....just waiting.....

You are right on target!  See the new movie "An Inconvenient Truth" - it lays out the FACTS, pure and simple, unadorned.  Those who want to fight facts are simply running away - and we simply don't have time for that.\n\nThe data on CO(2) parts per million, just by itself, is worth the price of admission.  Ascarta and others, there is nothing in history that compares to the current numbers and the current situation.  YOU are the problem now.

wow, look at the answers.  Someone telling you to read an article in rolling stone (since musicians are the best source for politics), and someone telling you to watch michael moores movie.\n\nUnfreakingbelievable!  Is this where you liberals get your information?  From a movie, and music magazine?\nMovie is full of lies.  That is a fact, and has been proven so.  That is why it does not carry the name of 'documentary' anymore.  Rollingstone is as far left as you can find, so no, I will not read 'a good article' out of there.  what makes it a 'good article'?  Because you want to believe it?\n\nbtw, whoever said approval rate was 22.  we know how much you love your polls (many proven to be bias), but it was never that low.  last week it was around 40.\n\n---\n\nwhy do you liberals ignore the military votes not accepted in florida?  You find a few old people who say things like, "I meant to vote for Kerry, but I voted for Bush".  Somehow when they were looking at the ballot, they voted wrong, but they remember voting wrong so clearly.

They're paranoid. They think everybody who disagrees with them is a liberal and that the whole world is immoral that loves gays. They believe that the Teletubbies are gay and influencing children, they think Spongebob is a flamer with a liberal agenda. Conservatives believe Sesame street is filled with commie liberals whose sole purpose is to make children gay and democrats. Children are too young to know if there is even a "gay undertone" to the book. They will think it's so cute. My cousins watch Spongebob and they are growing up just fine. Conservatives need to take a chill pill.

I actually meant to say... "attempts to refute" ... but what does that have anything to do with powering the space shuttle?\n\ndid you disagree with anything else I said... or do you just go around making fun of everyone that mistypes a statement?\n\nwas it really that hard to figure out what I was saying?\n\ndo you know what refute means?\n\ndo you think conservative thought supports science?

well if you look into it alot of the stuff in the movie was wrong.  just like alot of the stuff that guy dose, vary slanted and the facts are made to fit what he wants to say not what the truth is.\n\nsome of this can be found in the good counter point movie called Mike more hates America, watch both, but always make up your own mind and don't like some one else make if for you. not Mike more, not the guy in the other movie.\n\nto many people now days don't check facts or think for them selves.

Mission Impossible:  HONESTY AND TRUE REPRESENTATION PLEASE.  As far as issues goes, lets see if the pres. can have the balls to say YES there really is GLOBAL WARMING!!  Not necessarily do anything about it but at least acknowledge it does exist would be nice.

Most conservatives dispise hollywood and the crap jobs they've been coming out with. Movies have gotten horrible with violence and language. Why even use cuss words? Does it make that actor 'cooler'?

Haven't seen it, yet. Ebert & Roeper gave it thumbs up last \nweek. They also said that in comparison with the limited of \nnumber of theaters it opened in, it did better than what ever \nwas number one.\n\nGlobal warming - I've seen pics of the ice caps 10 yrs. ago, & \ntoday - they are obviously melting. The disturbing thing are the\nphotos of the thinning polar bears. Less ice, means less prey\nfor them to eat. It also means less cubs.
