Well, guys, I really don't care what you think of Al Gore or the "propaganda" element in the movie. I have dug into the science to my satisfaction, participated in collecting a good deal of it 20 years ago, in fact, so I don't belong to any "religion" nor do I have any comment on the politics that you seem so happy to assign to Mr. Gore.
All I'm after is that you start thinking and studying the issues for yourselves and don't let the fiction writers and the popular press, driven by an anti-knowledge, anti-science, good-old-boy administration of oil-rich and weapons-happy thieves, keep you blindered. All the scientists I know in the business of planetary science, environment and geology, are 100% behind the concepts put on the table by this movie. My years at JPL and in my position working relationships with education, science and government from the computer industry gave me access to a very large number of these people. I choose to credit their ideas more than any science fiction writer or news person. If you just become aware of the problems facing us and do your own research, act in good faith untainted by the adumbrating stupidity of television and newspaper infotainment, I'll be happy. However, if you choose to believe that we should go on dumping millions of tons of pollutants and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere because you don't believe there's anything to worry about, I pity your grandchildren. That's the last I'll say on the matter here. Anyone want to chat about it with me personally, send me email directly.
