    Lots of sound bites. Lots of edited interviews.

    The post doco debate was about as credible until beardy sandal man started making some good points, but then it went back to uninformed lefties and conservatives head butting.
    correct - i watched the unedited version a few weeks ago and it had some interesting takes on the other "inconvenient" doco - both are about as bad as each other

    i liked the woman in the middle (the 'climate consultant') - i think her job was to interrupt the others as much as possible and she seemed to be very good at it

    Agreed, she was a total waste of space. Next she'll be standing for the Greens.

    Everyone else had valid points except for her.

    I would claim to be a skeptic but that would imply the hippies might be right

    yeah there have been good points raised on both sides - i was a bit of a sceptic but have a little more faith in the IPCC now (only a little tho)

    the chap from Waikato Uni (I think) had some good info

    I don't know what the truth is, but my thoughts are the planet has been heating and cooling for millions of years, without human intervention, and will continue to do so long after our species has nuked itself out of existence.

    Let's just say that we are irreversably changing our planets climate, causing mass extinctions and sea level rise. Let's also say we are already displacing millions of people because climate change is turning lands that used to support them into deserts. The evidence that this is happening is overwhelming and it stares anyone in the face if you care to look.

    Of course the other scenario, the one Exxon is currently paying millions, or is it billions of $ to perpetuate, that we are not having any effect on our planet, after all we are just small, are we not? (In spite of the fact that we are pumping the best part of CO2 stored in the earth for millions of years back into the atmosphere). http://carbonx.blogspot.com/2006/10/...ge-denial.html

    I prefer to believe the overwhelming evidence and I wish we could agree to work together to overcome this problem. The sad fact is however that most people who have a decent life today could care less about people elsewhere on the earth who's land is turning to desert or sinking into the sea. If it means a slight impact on our standard of living, like using the car or bike less, then we scream like offended two year olds and stick our fingers into our ears because we just don't want to know.

    So, go ahead and believe the Exxon version. Just remember in the coming years that you are complicit in death, suffering and destruction on a scale rarely seen in the history of this planet. At least take responsibility for your stupid, irresponsible and selfish acts. I guess you won't, will you? Did you ever see a 2 year old take responsibility for anything?
    Ride fast or be last.

    Hay Maki. Those deserts have been increasing in size thanks to the commencement of the agrarian economy(our biggest mistake and entirely the product of our imagination) and the creation of cities (our second biggest mistake) about 10000 years ago.

    If you feel that strongly about it that you have to engage in the demeaning and insulting rhetoric of the uber greenie then why are you riding a motorcycle?

    Everything about motorcycles from their production to their use should be anathema to someone with a properly green attitude.

    You rather remind me of that Cindy woman on last night's debate. Lots of piss & vinegar and no substance to your argument except smug condescension. That'll convince people. Not.

    No, lets not play games of make believe, and instead lets say "Show us the data".

    I do look, and the evidence is just not there. First off, I have seen no evidence that climate change, and that includes the current cooling phase we are experiencing, is man made. Next, I have seen no evidence that anyone has been displaced because of climate change. Where is your data?

    Well, I'm so pleased to learn just how much I am being paid by Exxon. When can I expect to see the cheque?

    [QUOTE=Jim2;1589532]Hey Maki ....QUOTE]



    I had seen the film on a google hosted download about a year ago but I cant find the link to it right now.

    Theres also a third school of thought. Which is even if humans are causing climate change (remember its not global warming now as the hippies want to be right no matter which direction things change) we can have so little impact on that effect without destroying the world economy we should put our efforts into reducing the impact of the negative effects rather than the negative effects themselves.

    This paper by Nigel Lawson (former chancellor of the exchequer and also Nigella's father) is still rubbished by the climate change cult but to me it raises some valid points.

    What's your basis for disputing this?

    One graph produced by who?

    Always check the source of your data. If the research is paid for by a government or an "Institute for Researching Climate Change and Producing Data for the Highest Bidder" then it is automatically disqualified as being valid.

    The planet is either 4000 years old or 4 billion, depending on which loony you talk to. We've (the entire human race that is) been collecting very localised, piecemeal weather data reliably for about 160 years. The sample data is way too small to make any valid conclusions in either case.

    So, go ahead and believe the Exxon version.

    Well I say that the whole man-man C02 hysteria is being funded by the Nuclear Power industry to wrestle the profit off the oil barons.


    So what do you want? C02 or radiation?





    ....no, I'm actually taking the piss....
