The Great Global Warming Swindle

I'm sure most of you have seen or at least heard of 'An Inconvenient Truth', you're SOL if you want to watch it on Google Video now though... Anyways, I'm sure most of you have heard and probably haven't seen 'The Great Global Warming Swindle', which is available to watch on Google Video right now:

Personally, short of going out there, taking my own samples of EVERYTHING, learning what to do with them etc, going over hundreds, even thousands of years of weather history, learning a bunch of different sciences, 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' has turned me from 'An Inconvenient Truth', which I was pretty biased towards before going into GGWS.

Your thoughts. Do you care? Are you moving south to live in the Tropics? Loading the pantry with Spam?

    I haven't seen either movie, and don't really plan on watching them. Documentaries of that kind bother me because they are so so so one-sided. You should check out the show called Bullshit (or Bullsh!t, depending on where you look). I enjoy it as a source of information because it is biased as hell, but fair to both sides (and also very funny). You can get them at Blockbuster if you are interested!

    I think that we have so many big problems in our world that some things aren't worth worrying about. You have to choose your battles and then do your best to be a fairly decent person most of the time. Otherwise people are going to let the media panic them to death! Between worrying about all the stuff going on in your life, the media wants you to worry about the environment, the obesity rate, impending wars, continuing wars, natural disasters, murders, rapes, torture, terrorists, celebrities and who they're screwing, marrying or giving birth to, as well as corrupt rich people and suffering poor people, drugs, eating disorders, child abuse, AIDS, Cancer... the list goes on. Tomorrow it will be a tornado, the next day a murdered child, and the next day a species that has died out forever. I don't have enough energy to care about everything, and it is almost silly to do so.

    I say pick what matters and skim through the rest. Just try to be a fairly good person and help out in whatever way you can...
