I'll have to download it for the C64 emulator.Atlas Shrugged or An Inconvenient Truth,both work equally well for this quote.Kristatos wrote:"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.

The other, of course, involves orcs."
Thats a good one.Are they really going head to head next year?The Hobbit will kick Craig's ass down the mountain of Doombut rewritten to make it about Bond 23 and The Hobbit. Something like:
"There are two films competing for your box office dollars in 2011. One is about a scrappy, pint-sized hero embodying the qualities of the English peasantry saving the world from evil despite his diminutive size The other, of course, involves orcs."
Let's hope those two films stay intact for next year and keep your fingers CROSSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!oscartheman wrote:Atlas Shrugged or An Inconvenient Truth,both work equally well for this quote.Kristatos wrote:"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.

Except it is fiction and not a documentary.It can't be shown in UK school without explain how one sided it is and debunking parts of it.The Environmental movement is a new religion and people believe in it so it is pushed as truth no matter what.I'm all for getting off oil and using clean energy.I'm not for crippling our nation based of beliefs only proofed by crooked peer reviews cooking the data.Again I'm for the science for alternatives and cleaner ways to sustain us going forward but the climate science need to be started over because its results were cooked from day one.It ceased being science and became belief.FormerBondFan wrote:I consider Gore's movie as one of the best of 2006.
"Ain't gonna happen that way". I am against the pollution of the air and water NOT because Al Gore says the earth is heating up but because it is the healthy thing to do. Incentivize other forms of energy but do NOT add taxes on it that the government will waste on an increased bureaucracy.

Those scientists are over egging global warming to get huge research grants. I wish the dears would try and get to the truth. Al Gore is like many of the jounalists and commentators: bleating on about global warming but still consuming masses of energy with their middle-class lifestlyes and second homes abroad.bjmdds wrote:I would love electric cars, but no way will Al Gore's beliefs be taken seriously while he flies around in his private jets while he wants the rest of us to ride horseback.
Al Gore believes the core of the earth is hotter than most suns.The problem is he doesn't know anything he is just an evangelist.It is political power for him and a source of wealth.Carbon Credits.Jesus Christ!It has scam written all over it.Powder Puff wrote:Those scientists are over egging global warming to get huge research grants.

This claim is often repeated by the denial industry and its useful idiots, but it is an exaggeration of the truth. The oil industry shill who challenged the film in court made claims that some 36 facts contained in the movie were inaccurate. The judge upheld 9 of these claims (meaning that accurate staments outnumbered inaccurate onse by a factor of 3 to 1) and said in his summing up that he considered the film to be substantially accurate. The disclaimer corrects the 9 errors, but the core of the film's science remains sound.oscartheman wrote:Except it is fiction and not a documentary.It can't be shown in UK school without explain how one sided it is and debunking parts of it.
Fixed for accuracy. Global warming denial is just a cover-up pushed by the same PR firms and rent-a-scientists who tried to bury the link between smoking and lung cancer. Tobacco money, oil money, they're not choosy. It then got snapped up by the same people who believe that the Earth is only 6000 years old and that all scientists are part of the godless communist conspiracy. As for scientists manipulating the data in order to get grant money, that's the exact opposite of the truth. ExxonMobil has far deeper pockets than Greenpeace, and when Oilman Bush was in the White House, he sacked the head of the EPA for failing to push the denialist line that his paymasters wanted.oscartheman wrote:Global warming denial is a new religion and people believe in it because it is pushed as truth by the corporate media.

The answer is yes.bjmdds wrote:Better than Casino Royale FBF??????FormerBondFan wrote:I consider Gore's movie as one of the best of 2006.
Yes and no. Nothing is ever 100% certain in science, but it's a theory that all the available data backs up. The deniers don't have any data or expertise on their side, their strategy is to use the uncertainty inherent in the scientific method. In other words doubt is the product they're selling, since they don't have any credible alternative theory. It's a trick they learned from creationists and other woo-woos, who exploit any lacuna in the theory of evolution (or whatever) to cast doubt upon the entire scientific corpus - "if they're not 100% certain, then how do we know that any of it is true?". The media plays into it by pretending that there is a debate between rival groups of scientists, rather than scientists on one side and lobbyists on the other, justifying it with a spurious notion of balance; though you don't see them getting on a creationist, a geocentrist or a holocaust denier in the name of balance whenever there's a debate on those subjects. The uninformed viewer then gets the notion that the deniers are real scientists, rather than crackpots on a par with the groups mentioned above.oscartheman wrote:We simply can't say we know that is global warming is a fact.It is a theory with some data to back it up.

Depp as The Riddler and PSH as The Penguin...wow. Hope it's true.
