Sure, I watched that show about Earth after all the people were gone, yet the next day people were still around.

I think its a tad different when they are claiming what they are showing you is real rather then an illistration or staged.

Its kinda like Dateline rigging the SUVs to explode to illistrate the danger of exploding gas tanks.

All ALGore proved is that Global Warming is a huge problem...just like the Darth Vader, Reavers, Khan (or at least his wrath), Ben Affleck, or Giant Killer Sharks (not to mention Tomatoes).

No, I'm more involved w/ reality than you even WANT to be. AlGore used a fake image and tried to pass it off as legit. Why? He could have easily found a glacial terminus along the water, but instead, thought so little of his audience or even his own credibility that he instead used a 100 % fake scene to illustrate his point. Fine, but he didn't TELL his audience it was fake, and that makes Gore a liar.

He did ? Really ?

Have either of you buffoons watched 'An Inconvenient Truth' ?



I thought not. The images you claimed to be 'faked' were blatantly computer generated - you'd have to be a real idiot to think they weren't. (Or maybe you need better glasses or better electronics ... Either way, you can solve that little problem by ponying up.) On top of which they were used to illustrate the geography of Antarctica - where the floating ice was, the land ice and the mountains.

Obviously you two don't quite understand the meaning of the word 'illustrate', so I suggest you go look it up.

I watched it in HD. Your right, it is obvious. In fact the entire movie is computer generated with the exception of ALGore who is made of wood.

I hear that in the 'special edition' you get commentary from ALGore and George Lucas explaining how the whole thing started as a big joke and how they laughed and laughed when people "actually believed that shit".

Edited to add: http://www.nysun.com/news/food-crisis-eclipsing-climate-change

Gore is starving us all with his 'let them eat cake' approach to climate change.

No, I didn't waste my $$ on that piece of go se . But what I DID see was the clip in question, and there was no doubt that the cgi shot was intended to be a legit shot of an glacial terminus at waters edge. There was no commentary about " this being a representation of REAL geography of antarctica" . Gore lied.

What was the lie, exactly ? Was it in saying that there's sea ice, then land ice, then mountains ? Seems like factual geography to me. Was it in saying that people see glaciers calving every day ? That's an indisputable fact. Do you have an issue with him using stock footage to illustrate his points ? Is that the big lie you're claiming ? Well, I guess we can just eliminate any program that uses any kind of illustration as being lies, then.

You really need to get a life, dude.

Its not stock footage. Stock footage would be real, not manufactured.

I guess I find it odd that 'people see glaciers calving every day' but those people either have no access to video equipment or the footage would not be compelling enough to support their case.

If he had used stock footage of actual glaciers, we'd not be having this conversation. The used manufactured footage because it best supports their other evidence (most of which is also 'manufactured'). Global warming is just another 'pay no attention to the man behind the curtain' 'do as we say not as we do' kinda put on that we used to get from the socialists back before the fall of the Soviet Union. All those people didn't just disappear...they just changed color...green is the new red.

Stock footage is anything you can pay a fee and get the right to use. And yes, there are plenty of videos of glaciers calving. But they belong to individuals and universities and it's far quicker to go to a commercial source and purchase the rights than to try to dig up bits and pieces from across the globe.

So, what are YOU saying, Hero ? That glaciers AREN'T calving every day ? That they're NOT retreating ? That large sections of the Antarctic ice shelf HAVEN'T collapsed ? Is THAT your claim, now ? Because if it is, then you are lying, or massively, tragically deluded.

And dude, if this stock footage non-issue is a big deal to you, you really, really need to get a life.
