I dont need scientists with supposed political adgendas to tell me that we are changing the climate or the conspiracy movement to tell me we arent.

These contain an abundance of information and further connections on this deep and complex subject.

A group of climate scientists have started their own site to explain global warming and respond to critics and challenges to their science -- RealClimate.org http://www.realclimate.org/

The Heat is Online, companion to Ross Gelbspan's book (see below) is a good clearinghouse for climate information, especially in debunking the skeptics and misinformation about global warming - http://www.heatisonline.org/main.cfm

leave it to the republican's to want us to keep buying SUV's and burning oil....

also leave it to the republican's to bad mouth any events that will raise awareness...

i do like how Fox news was calling Live Earth a waste....

if trying to save the earth is trendy....well sign me up and give me one of those armstrong wristbands...cause i want to be positive trendy.

Fox news is a joke.

such shady practices of misinformation should be illegal. the folks that watch that crap are just puppets for the media.

telling people what you want them to hear, sharing a fraction of truth and twisting the story around to suit their agenda. it's the Fox news way!!!

[lula_lamore]

Quoted from the Prison Planet website:
\"The film showcases scientists, economists, politicians, writers, and others who are sceptical (sic) of the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming.\"

I wonder why the economists and politicians are skeptical about the human impact on global warning? Hmmmmmmm.....could it be for the sake of big oil money?????

yeah i want to watch this documentary sometime when i get a chance but i always keep in mind that political \"documentaries\" are really designed to promote a certain point of view. they always try to give the impression that they are really informing you, but they're only informing you in such a way that it forms your opinion for you.

and fox news is pretty crappy, but pretty much all mainstream media is owned by a few global corporations, rupert murdoch's is only one of them. they've all got political ties and are all about profit. i don't see why people with the internet still watch TV.

Not to bash you on this, but the Internet is just a chock full of crap, lies, and misinformation as the television is. In truth everyone who opens their mouth about anything has an agenda. Everyone is influenced by something, and tries to make you think the way they do.

Personally, I distrust everything that I hear, and try and assimilate all the information I can, and build my own opinion based on the various lies I have been told.

That all being said, it is hot as hell outside, so right now I believe the global warming. In January however, I'm probably going to be outside burning plastic, and running my truck just sitting there to try to hurry up the warming.

In Poly's defense: Yes, the Innernts is full o'crap, but the key is that it's all there, equally accessible - truth, lies, stupidity & brilliance. With TV as your source of news, you're fed one view, can do no research (via that medium, at least), and usually can't even catch a \"different\" viewpoint b/c the Boob Tube Billionaires cram all \"news\" into the same time slot.

With the web, at least you're active in obtaining & digesting your information. Someone says that global warming is caused by that huge fart I ripped yesterday, and by nothing else? I can google that \"fact\" (or look it up in myriad other ways), and see whether it has any clout.


(BTW, sorry about that fart yesterday. I'll buy some carbon credits this weekend to off-set it. )
