My friend Dan, who was a painter before he got his head caved in, once was contracted to paint a house in red, white, and blue. The guy who wanted this done had emigrated from Greece, had made a bunch of money, and then splashed out and gotten his new house painted the way he wanted it. Not just the discreet dark things like maroon or terra cotta or ecru, but Genuine Bright Screaming Reds And Whites To Match The Flag. Dan said people started driving by and pestering him while he was working: "Hey, is that the COLOR it's gonna BE?" And the guy who was having this work done kept declaring "Dees are wonderful colors! Colors of my Flag! I LOFF this country!" And although Dan said it ended up looking like a Bullwinkel House, that guy was one of the most generous clients he'd ever painted a house for. ===

Wow, those errors really diminish the impact of the film. Yep. I guess we don't need to save the planet after all. Those stranded walruses are just flukes. ===

There's a huge difference between trying to help the planet and believing that Man is the source of it all. Pro-manmadeGW says the "science is done". Anti-manmadeGW finds errors in the "done" science on a regular basis. A few of those "stranded animal" shots were taken a long time ago and are being presented as "happening now".<br><br>I'm all for being environmentally conscious - I keep my car running properly (in the smog check it puts out almost no pollutants), recycle, and generally try to be a Good Human. But when the pro-manmadeGW are screaming doom but leave out/modify/just-plain-make-up data, I can't go along with it. ===

Well, let's just all drop down to our knees and apologize to Smedindy, because everybody knows a midwest sports fan is much more aware of environmental science than a judge in London is. ===

Except when they're not making up the data. Fox cut and pasted reports from the judge:

Oh, and I'm not JUST a sports fan, and I've given a crap about warming and the environment since the 80's. The fact still is that the corporations took some of the judges' ruling out of context, when it was 95% in FAVOR of the movie, and Fox did what they normally do. ===

Smed, as soon as you drive your car less than four thousand miles a year (like John and I choose to do) and never turn on our central heating in the winter (like John and I chose to do) and deliberately live in multi-residental housing to keep from making a larger environmental footprint (like John and I chose to do) and devote your LIFE'S WORK to environmental cleanup (like John does, where he DOES in fact see misapplied science every weekday of his existence) then you can get in my face and tell me about your wonderful efforts to combat global warming. :-) ===
