I don't see a link to it in your post.

Thanks. After watching the trailer, I will make the following comments.

The trailer talks about the effects of global warming. It also states that the scientific community believes that humans are the cause of global warming. This is were the error begins. Basically, it is a huge overstatement. The producers of the film are taking something that is a cause and basically blowing it up to be the sole source of the problem. Strong evidence suggests that the sun activity is playing a large factor in the current climate crisis. I think the following put it best (I found in on Wiki will looking for more info on solar variation theory):

"The sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures... the brighter sun and higher levels of so-called "greenhouse gases" both contributed to the change in the Earth's temperature, but it was impossible to say which had the greater impact." - Sami Solanki, the director of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research

Uhuh. That said though, the human impact on climate change is very real and hopefully films like this will go some way to making people actually take notice. Such a shame that money is apparently more important than the planet. Something as intangiable as wealth is somehow considered ore important than life itself. Shame.

Epic bump.

I just saw this. I don't understand why anyone protests against facts based on science. My ecofriendly rampage has just been turned up a notch.

i think gobal warming is a good thing as long as it doesnt get to hot. I dont wanna be mean or anything but i think the world needs for something colossus to happen before we start changing how we do things and even then im pretty sure the rich people will find a way to make more money off it.

I couldn't agree more, comrade.

I just watched The Age of Stupid. Pretty good, but far too smug to convince any of the 'But we love driving and industry and flying and pollution so we'll clutch on to any old raggedy bullshit no matter how absurd as long as we don't have to change how we do things,' crowd.

That's what I've been sayig for years now. It's difficult to change people's attitudes when they're comfortable. It's just not going to happen unless there's a major jolt, like a war or an environmental catastrophe.
