Well the show was not a documentary nor was it scientific to say the least. (Reminded me of "The Day After Tomorrow") Did you all miss the part in the movie where a neat magicians trick was used. AG was showing a graph about temperature rose and the correlating co2 rises? Right at the end of the graph he got on a lift to put emphasis on how much hotter the planet got in the last 10 years. Then in all the wizardry of the show, he neglected to show the corresponding rise in co2..... must have lost that data somewhere or was that part not important, or was the lift going up to the ceiling the fun part?... Anyways

Yes the planet is getting hot as we are still in an Ice Age for crying out loud. Are we contributing to it? Sure. Are we that arrogant to think that we have control over global climate change? Yes we are. But do we actually have any control? Not at all. It is going to get warmer with or without us.

Think about how hot the planet must have been 408 years ago. I chose that far back because between then and now entire continents have shifted, sunk and the surface of the planet changed entirely. Did we contribute to that? Not in the slightest. Could we have stopped it? Not a chance. But this was only 408 years ago. Check out some old world maps just for visual reference of the magnitude of these changes.

Should we each do something? Indeed we should. Do we need to be scared into purchasing worthless carbon credits to offset our lifestyles.... Go read AG site and see what it is really all about. Anyone want to invest in StormPay?

Now we are right in the element of the skeptics!
Better believe those old maps from 408 years back. More credible than these incompetent modern scientists saying their direct observations, and geological history, indicate six and a half centimetres a year is not bad progress for continental plates flogging their way around the globe. If you were silly enough to believe them, the 408 year shift would be about 26 metres.

For those that like the truth there will be a further investigation of the ice caps by 63 countries over 2 years as reported in The Independant (UK). Understanding mechanisms may give finer measurement and better prediction of future rates of melting and sea level rise. For the lovers of fantasy there is to be a meeting of greenhouse sceptics in Canberra connected to, wait for it Hugh Morgan ex mining CEO

"Better believe those old maps from 408 years back. More credible than these incompetent modern scientists."

The fact that we are disproving credible modern scientists from 100 years ago, goes to show that we will be still disproving current incompetent modern scientists 100 years from now. AG seems to think there is some agreement among scientists about climate change and or global warming. Unfortunately that truth simply is not correct. Not even the IPCC can get their story straight. NASA is a waste of time. Somehow pulled directly out of the arses of Amazon Pygmies is this "You are all going to Burn in Hell" scenario within our life time. Don't you think that is somewhat melodramatic and the kind of thing you see at movies and church? It is just as fanatical and delusional as believing in God.

We have spent billions to see if God exists, so much so even the scientific community is now divided on it. Darwins theories are being thrown out the door. So I would say that we will all pay our extra dues in taxes to support further fanatics to prove or disprove this new age religion and the god here is called climate.

Perseus;
Perhaps it would be better to prompt a question, and the obvious one would be ; "Why do they call it Greenland if it has always been covered with Ice" ?
I already know, but some might be a little confused.
