Actually, most of the science is right according to many environmental
scientists. I believe their concern was that it was too "Hollywood" to be
taken seriously. And, obviously many things in the movie are just Hollywood
flash.

Tomorrow?


Dumb as it sounds that's prolly as good as any )c:

The science is strictly theory, but it *may* be accurate. Or it may not be.
It really makes little difference, because we aren't likely to see anything
of the sort during our lifetimes, or those of our children or their
children.

Who said so? Theory? Perhaps you think Intelligent Design is a theory also.

A theory is something that cannot be proven by observable facts or
experimentation. So far scientists haven't been able to prove anything
w/r/t global warming. Some claim that the surface of the Earth is indeed
warming and attempt to attribute it to human activities (which is probably
the case), but there are far too many variable to control to make that leap
of judgment. So they refer to the concept of GW as a theory. Of course
most people who choose to believe that we're on the verge of rendering the
planet uninhabitable tend to overlook that word when reading scientific
reports or preaching their chosen brand of dogma.

Bzzzt... I think you need to look it up...

Theory:

a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an
organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of
circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can
incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory"

hypothesis: a tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that is
not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena;
"a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a
scientific theory"; "he proposed a fresh theory of alkalis that later was
accepted in chemical practices"

I'll go one step further, Jon. I'm betting that within five to ten years,
the whole theory of global warming will be as passé and forgotten as pet
rocks, cancer-causing high-tension power lines, cell-phones causing CA, and
Furbies. When the next cause celeb comes along, GW will be discarded onto
the same pile of oblivion that all the other "urgent, life-threatening"
issues-of-the-day have found themselves.

Intelligent design is a belief based upon faith.

Max

Well, that's your "theory" right... hahahaa

Yup. And it's neither provable nor disprovable any more than the theory of
global warming being completely attributed to greenhouse gases and human
heat generation. Only time will tell which theory is right. Probably
neither, actually.

Max

You need to take a look at the definition of the word theory... feel free to
get back to me when you understand it. :-)
