You might want to watch this documentary before we are totally doomed.

I watched this when it was broadcast over here. It contains some very
interesting commentry from various people who are not convinced about
just how much of an effect human activity is having on global warming.

While I think that it was a bit unfortunate that it contained only
one side of the argument, it really is worth watching.

One particular point that is made, and is worth hearing, is that,
whether or not individuals have a strong argument or not, many who
are skeptical of the prevailing consensus are branded as heretics.

The broadcasting of the opinions expressed in the documentary has
caused a hell of a lot of fuss. This is one documentary not to be
missed.

I wonder if these same people also said that smoking had no harmful effects.

Smoking doesn't have any harmful effects, it's the tar in the cigarettes that
has.

The energy demand of the third-world countries is increasing and both the
limited reserves of fossil fuels and the ongoing global warming of the
atmosphere, because of carbon dioxide emissions, make it necessary to increase
the efficiency of combustion processes. There is at the same time a strong
incentive to reduce the emissions, such as nitric oxides, sulphuric oxides,
polyaromatic hydrocarbons and soot from combustion processes. In this urgent
research field there is a demand for reliable experimental verifications of
the complex theoretical combustion models that are being developed.

In general, making measurements in hostile combustion media require
non-intrusive techniques with high dynamic range, spatial and temporal
resolution because of the small scale fluctuations in highly turbulent
reacting flows. A mature tool is coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy
(CARS), which is a laser diagnostic technique for point-wise temperature
measurements in combustion environments.

Calm down, im doing what I can for the batmud society.

Damn that's a lot of big words in small package...

Seriously ...I don't forsee global warming being an issue of significance much
longer. Mostly because oil/reserves and estimated 'not yet found' oil will
run out before that happens. Therefore emission problems caused by such
things that burn oil/gas ..etc won't be a problem. I mostly say this because
running out of oil will kill us before global warming will. Alternate energy
discoveries(current technoligies and cooperation from everyone-which wont
happen anytime soon won't save the problem.) There must be a new energy
discovery or advancement. At any rate if these are discovered it should
resolve the global warming issue before it becomes a global killer(well unless
the new discoveries are more damaging anyway)

oh ...do a google search for peak oil ..that will get you started.

ok ..narrowed it down for those that asked ....... the website regarding peak
oil is ...

If there was a documentary presenting arguments against the prevailing
consensus that smoking is harmful, I'd be interested. If the people
presenting such contrary arguments were labeled as outcasts and
even threatened, I'd be even more interested.

Unsuprisingly, some of the "evidence" presented in "The Great
Global Warming Swindle" has been questioned and may be unreliable.
It seems that some small details were definately wrong and some
other information may also have been out of date.

Also, one of experts whose opionions were gathers is upset about being
misled as to the general aims of the documentary.

However, in my opinion, what is interesting, and perhaps important,
is that the consensus about global warming might not necessarily be
as complete as some people would have you believe and that there
are certain elements that do not like to have the consensus questioned
at all.

is there not a politics group now? and can\'t this be moved to there so i dont
have to mindlessly skip thru this in the hopes of finding news article i\'m
remotely interested in?
