What is this stupid movie other than a huge shot in the "political gunfight" of global cooling (1970's) / global warming (1990's) / global climate change (2000's)? Since everyone on this board should love to burn hydrocarbons, isn't there some other tree hugging, snail darter saving, bogus science spewing forum for a debate on global whatever? Let's get back ON TOPIC.

It doesn't melt at 33 degrees. Just a few degrees difference in average temps at the poles has the potential to turn land based frozen ice on the poles and Greenland into increases in sea level. And it definitely is warming in these areas of the globe. There's probably no correlation between us burning all the oil we can possibly pump worldwide each day but CO2 levels are far beyond any previously records highs already. Then again it sounds like you already know everything you've decided you need to know about the climate. But for those few that will admit that they don't already know everything they want to know about the climate you could do far worse than to see An Inconvenient Truth. Jeez, does everything have to turn into a political gunfight?????
