I saw the movie twice now. If you don't already have your mind made up
before hand it is fiction, it is very informative. I read a lot of science
articles and didn't see anywhere a personal slant from Gore. I thought one
of the best points was the correlation between Co2 in the atmosphere and ice
ages in the past. By monitoring Antarctic ice cores it is clear ice ages
follow a rise in Co2. Scientists can go back 650,000 years (seven ice ages).
The Co2 level now is higher than it has been in the last 650,000 years and
still rapidly rising. At the level it is rising in 30-40 yrs. it will be
twice as high as it has ever been. Another interesting point was being shown
an ice core that researchers could tell the exact year lead was added to
gasoline and the exact year legislation was passed to remove the lead. The
atmosphere seems almost infinitely thick to us, but on a globe two feet in
dia. it would be as thick as a coat of varnish.

Only if you're not thinking creatively.

Oh, um, nevermind. It's over your head.

No. It was just an idiotic question. Want to know why? Simple, because
you took a statement that was informative too literally. It's called
perspective, something I take you don't have.

What exactly did I take literally, and how so? Be specific, and
explain what exactly you think my statement meant, at least to you.

Oh, hell. Are you so out of it that you don't even remember the
sentence you were making your idiotic remark about??? Well, here it is
again:

"The atmosphere seems almost infinitely thick to us, but on a globe two
feet in dia. it would be as thick as a coat of varnish."

With me so far? Come on, it's not really difficult, even for you, is
it?? Okay, here was your idiotic reply, too, just in case you've lost
THAT in your little mind:

What's the weather like on your two foot in diameter world?

Now, how could anybody think that that was an intelligent question?
Hmm, something tells me that YOU think it is!
