WTF dude? I thought you were my friend? - I was the one who posted that brief clip on the front page. As it became so popular I thought I'd post the whole documentary..... Thanks for taking the time to watch it though.

and Wr3ck... what's with all this anger???

All you needed to say was "repost" (which it wasn't) - what's with all the hostility?

Well lets see, Id like to say a few things. One.. I dont think it will be that bad, think about it, its one group of scientists one opinion. Yea.. Its interesting, hell it may even be true.. But I promise you if the other group of scientist that would have just the same amount of proof disclaiming the entire "Global dimming" theory well then we would have just as much belief toward their opinion. We are humans, we are smart we'll think of something and even if we dont at least most of us will be dead by the time any of that happens ;)

Just my thoughts~

The point is Grevin there isn't a magical "another group of scientists with just the same amount of proof".

Your attitude seems to be If you don't like the ramifications of science, look around for a different opinion (not analyse the available information and draw sensible conclusions or see what the balance of scientific opinion is).

This scares the shit out of me. They are forecasting the effects so they could be wrong in how severe it is. But they are talking about changes that would kill or displace half of the worlds population in 100 years while at the same time destroying crop production around the world.

There isn't another group of scientists.... I promise you. Here's a very short clip that might give you a little more data:

Now the next step peeps, is to post links to these 3 vids on every link dump and blog... anything like that and spread the word. Show it to your friends and family - and if they laugh at you and accuse you of being a tree hugger - headbutt 'em and say:
"This is my world, your world... OUR world, and i don't want it to turn to shit!"

Yea.. I am not saying all of this is not true.. and yea Maybe there isn't another group to disclaim.. But I mean.. There are always two sides to every story.. and maybe there is another group but they aren't as famous because there story isnt as fearfull and scary and dont carry the "We Must change how we live or else!" type attitude.. and that in my opinion attracts more people to the more fearful approach toward this situation. Because.. Basicly death and destruction is just more interesting.. I hope you see what I mean.

Im trying to say, that the fear of what could happen instills the support and the spread of this type of opinion more then others. Just like propaganda.
Again just my thoughts.

Fear is right, we are humans and everyone has at least one thing they fear... and most of us fear how we will die. We, humans, are at the verge of becoming extinct like dinosaurs. Some would say it's our own creation of destruction, and some, when the End of the world comes would say, it's God's wrath. I would be more agreeable upon we are the cause of all. So as my opinion on how we as people and individual to our planet and our next generation, it's time to act. Here is what i think that might help, Vote, if you are in a democratic country, suggest if you are in a monarchy country, and do nothing in a communist country. There are more things I want to say, but most of you probably think it is boring, so i'll stop here.

^ Grevin

You make it sound like this "group" of scientists all got together and decided on what to say...

but as is pointed out in the programme it was actually many different, separate groups of scientists... carrying out different, separate tests and measurements - and all came to the same conclusion independently. And their separate measurements all support each others research.... Coincidence?.... hardly!

If this was a murder case, and the scientists were police officers working alone... 1 found the murder weapon, 1 found the motive and another found the DNA evidence... all pointing to the same suspect.
