Agreed. Don't waste your time at all..
It's been a source of frustration listening to the people that haven't the intellectual grasp to see what is painstakingly clear to nearly everyone within the scientific community.
Ya, just enjoy the ride. Besides, I'm nearly certain that some of us will make it through, whether it be an evolutionary leap of some sort, else colonizing somewhere in the solar system. Life finds a way, and if not by our species .. well it will go on anyways.

The idea that they are "proven liars" exists because they tell things that are not true on multiple occasions and purposefully distort facts over and over. Hence they are "proven liars".
What facts have they distorted and explain why their "distorted" facts are spurious.

That's OK. As the presenter in the film said, there are many reasons people choose to ignore the facts about the train wreck headed our way. The consequences aren't just going to make things uncomfortable, they will lead to a major extinction event -- of humans. The world will probably be a better place anyway without the idiots. One just hopes that the few survivors include a smarter grade of person than the reckless lot that has spoiled the planet once again beyond the point of no return.
Yes, I believe its happened before, and an advanced race was at fault then too. We started all over again in caves and we will be back there again soon -- but only a very few of us -- billions will have perished. I hope its the ignorant idiots who are ignoring the signs that are the first to burn.
Its going to be a brave new world, to be sure.

When the fools were trying to sell us interlectuals global warming from the G20 in Copehagen half of the world was snowed in .Do you forget the reports were people from all over the Northern hemisphere couldn't go to work or what ? You are not only barking up the wrong tree , you are also taking a methane dump at it's base !

I believe the facts point toward global warming being real, but I don't know that the link between human activity and global warming has been proven. Historical climate data shows average temperatures trending warmer. But as far as I can see, there is no definitive "smoking gun".

I find it quite revealing your picking and choosing what you respond too. There was nothing new in that video or your arguments.
Why did Obama choose not to fund clean energy research in a meaningful way? Why is Gore not calling for said funding? Why is the UN not doing anything to fund it? Because they know it's a ruse? Could that be the reason? Actions speak way louder than words. If they truly believed, Obama would have poured massive funds into clean energy research and he would be all over China's backside for what they are doing.
You know that right now Obama still has tens of billions from the Bailout sitting idle and he knowingly chose to not fund any clean energy research except with a laughable token. He clearly does not believe in this. Or is it he and Gore want the world's environment to be destroyed? You can't have it both ways.

Is the solar system entering a nearby interstellar cloud
Abstract
Observations indicating a hydrogen density gradient in the vicinity of the solar system are reviewed, particularly observations of an anisotropy in the far-UV flux around 950 A from the brightest and closest O and B stars as well as a variation in the local D/H ratio along the lines of sight to Alpha Cen and Alpha Aur. Possible mechanisms that may strongly affect the observed D/H ratio on a very small scale are considered, selected radiation pressure is proposed as the most likely mechanism for deuterium separation, and it is shown that this mechanism would be effective only if the density gradient of the nearby interstellar medium has remained stable for at least about 10 million years. This time scale is taken to imply the existence of a nearby (less than 2 pc distant) interstellar cloud. Observational arguments in favor of such a cloud are presented, and implications of the presence of a nearby cloud are discussed, including possible changes in terrestrial climate. It is suggested that the postulated interstellar cloud should encounter the solar system at some unspecified time in the 'near' future and might have a drastic influence on terrestrial climate in the next 10,000 years.
NASA Study Finds Increasing Solar Trend That Can Change Climate
ScienceDaily (Mar. 21, 2003) — Since the late 1970s, the amount of solar radiation the sun emits, during times of quiet sunspot activity, has increased by nearly .05 percent per decade, according to a NASA funded study.
"This trend is important because, if sustained over many decades, it could cause significant climate change," said Richard Willson, a researcher affiliated with NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University's Earth Institute, New York. He is the lead author of the study recently published in Geophysical Research Letters.
"Historical records of solar activity indicate that solar radiation has been increasing since the late 19th century. If a trend, comparable to the one found in this study, persisted throughout the 20th century, it would have provided a significant component of the global warming the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports to have occurred over the past 100 years," he said.

Sunspots reaching 1,000-year high
By Dr David Whitehouse
BBC News Online science editor
A new analysis shows that the Sun is more active now than it has been at anytime in the previous 1,000 years.
Scientists based at the Institute for Astronomy in Zurich used ice cores from Greenland to construct a picture of our star's activity in the past.
They say that over the last century the number of sunspots rose at the same time that the Earth's climate became steadily warmer.

Latest warming
Dr Solanki is presenting a paper on the reconstruction of past solar activity at Cool Stars, Stellar Systems And The Sun, a conference in Hamburg, Germany.
He says that the reconstruction shows the Maunder Minimum and the other minima that are known in the past thousand years.
But the most striking feature, he says, is that looking at the past 1,150 years the Sun has never been as active as it has been during the past 60 years.
Over the past few hundred years, there has been a steady increase in the numbers of sunspots, a trend that has accelerated in the past century, just at the time when the Earth has been getting warmer.

So what is the bottom line?
Global warming is about to make us extinct and there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it. So enjoy life and live for today.

Again, you're spouting the same old tired articles that were authored (or referenced in the case of the USA Today article) by those INVOLVED in the hoax - that stand to profit from it. ONCE AGAIN - THE EARTH WARMS AND COOLS IN NATURAL CYCLES, so there is going to be data that shows warming - and cooling. I suggest you look at the data from the snow and ice data center's information - that does indeed show that Arctic Sea Ice is at the third lowest level ever recorded....since they started in the 1970's !! ONLY FORTY YEARS of data....a mere spec of sand on the beach of time - BILLIONS of years. The headlines also don't show that - even though the ice is at a low level - its basically the same level as it was in 1979....doesn't sound nearly as scary, does it? Also - NO ONE has polled 97% of ANYONE - climatologists or otherwise - about what they think about the MASSIVE BS JOB that is AGCC....Ron Paul read his own poll into the Congressional Record last year with more than 33,000 climatologists saying AGCC was total BS and the science didn't support it - do those 33,000 make up LESS than 3% of all climatologists? Their math is a lie, and if they are lying about that - what else are they lying about? Doesn't look real good for your argument....
So - once again, let's go back to common sense - Al Gore and everyone else that promotes this nonsense are NOT changing their habits - what do we make of that? I say its because its the new "cause celebre" ...and like most things "fashionable" - its all BS.
