23. "that's not how loads of your countrymen see it"
In response to In response to 21


  

          

That's ridiculous, but true. These scientifically dubious worst-case scenearios just make the importance of climate change much more dismissive to them.
Presenting a more sober view of global warming and giving solid ways to prevent it might not win people over in droves but I think it would be more progressive.

not very convincing.
Jun 06th 2006
14
See, and I had an entirely different take on the ending.
Jun 06th 2006
15
but the solutions are the real hard sell
Jun 06th 2006
17
there's no connection to Fahrenheit 9/11 here
Jun 06th 2006
18
      while the issue IS bigger than liberal vs. conservative,
Jun 06th 2006
19
      I agree with you, and this is just the problem
Jun 06th 2006
22
           remember what Gore says in the film, though
Jun 06th 2006
27
                I've already begun
Jun 07th 2006
31
                     I go around yelling "REAL patriots take the BUS!"
Jun 07th 2006
39
                          yeah, I'm gonna feel guilty when I need a car again
Jun 09th 2006
80
      this is a movie by and partly about Al Gore
Jun 06th 2006
20
           because none of those will end civilization forever
Jun 06th 2006
21
          
           this is a totally nonsensical comparison.
Jun 06th 2006
25
           hurrah for sloppy science
Jun 07th 2006
32
                have you seen the film?
Jun 07th 2006
33
                I think by having Al Gore as the spokesperson
Jun 07th 2006
37
                     so you haven't seen the film
Jun 07th 2006
54
                          bah, I'm done with this post
Jun 07th 2006
55
                               NO

Jun 07th 2006
58
                yeah, bringing attention to a HUGE problem is pointless.
Jun 07th 2006
34
                     but we already know about it
Jun 07th 2006
36
                          doc, did you see the film?
Jun 07th 2006
38
                          nope
Jun 07th 2006
40
                               maybe in a vacuum it would be ridiculous
Jun 07th 2006
41
                               I don't think further attatching the issue to a partisan
Jun 07th 2006
46
                                    I don't think
Jun 07th 2006
50
                                         I'm not deadset against it
Jun 07th 2006
52
                               aaaaaand scene.
Jun 07th 2006
43
                                    to be fair
Jun 07th 2006
45
                                    Is there a plot twist not covered in the trailer?
Jun 07th 2006
47
                                         not covered in the trailer:
Jun 07th 2006
48
                                         I might see it
Jun 07th 2006
53
                                         then don't go see it.
Jun 07th 2006

                          mainstream America has had their head in the sand for years.
