Well, what the hey. I'll jump into the political forum with a global warming video. I watched the whole thing (1 hour fifteen minutes long) and thought it was quite good, even if it was a little dumbed down, and might have too many ad-hominem attacks in it...

Well, I just watched it today.
I have to say, they bring up many good points regarding the current status of global warming. There seems to be many reputable scientists that come from some pretty big backgrounds.
I must say that I do have a bias towards this movie due to my belief of global warming falling closer to this than what the "main stream" is today. That being said, I really suggest people watch it because this IS what science is, both sides have evidence and both sides make valid arguments. However, there is one side that seems to be getting swept under the rug and this film addresses it. Global warming is NOT a debate like the 9/11 attacks or creationism vs evolution, there is science mixed with politics, not about conspiracy and deeply held beliefs.

I watched the entire video this evening as well. It seems to have quite reputable scientists (with some actual credentials, not just Gore) that represent the facts accurately. The only way to let this propagate is to pass it on, so I may as well.

What's really frosting my cookies is that regardles of whether global warming is occuring or has legitimate science to back it up, some people (including actors and politicians) are making big money by trying to sway the public into thinking that if you're rich enough, you can just buy carbon offsets (and in companies that only promise to offset in the future no doubt!!!) while everyone else needs to actually reduce their consumption or usages. Well, that is just a bunch of hogwash, do as I say, not as I do crapola. If you want to talk the talk you gotta walk the walk too my friends. I guess my belief is in living as efficiently as possible and whether you're rich or not shouldn't matter if you truely do care about the environment.
Thanks for the video link, I'll watch it when I have time.

It's all politics man.
In the mean time, the third world countries in Africa can't use the natural resources that they have cause the already developed countries don't want them to cause more global warming effect.
Instead, they tell the poor country to use expensive alternative resources that they cant' afford. Which in tern keeping them from developing as a nation.

ok...steping down from the soap box..
