Truths and Myths About Weather in Hollywood Blockbusters »

Posted By zaph22 1 year, 6 months ago in News

Al Gore's "traveling global warming show," the award-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," includes a long flyover shot of majestic Antarctic ice shelves. But this shot was first seen in the 2004 blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow." Sculpted from Styrofoam and later scanned into a computer, the ice shelf "

    FTA

    "Karen Goulekas, the special effects supervisor for "The Day After Tomorrow" said the shot is a digital image. She was glad Al Gore used it in the documentary since "It is one hell of a shot." Both movies use the shot to convincingly portray global warming, but it is left to the audience to decide if this created image can both entertain and educate us about our changing planet."

    These glow bull whiners will do anything to make you believe their religion. Even applaud putting make believe in a documentary and they don't even see anything wrong with it.

    True believers, zealots, I'd say.

    They took away Marion Jones' medals for cheating.

    But Gore gets to keep his - go figure.

      I'll vote on this story to help get it the attention it deserves, but I guarentee you that movies made that are against this point of view use shots that are also suspect.

      That's just too damned funny. I bet the left will still see him as a saint though.

        What's wrong with you Christians?

        Did your momma whack in you in the head with a bible so many times you became STUPID?

        THE ICE CAPS ARE MELTING!

        And YOU freaks are still blocking solutions at every turn.

        There is a good blog about how when the global-warming induced food shortages hit people should eat FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANS. They don't smoke, or have many STD's AND they are in large part to BLAME FOR THIS ECOLOGICAL DISASTER since it was uncovered how they put a Christian spy in NASA to block global warming info coming to and from scientists, and repeatedly, just for ONE!

        We KNOW why you are doing this.

        Thanks Zaph for posting this story. It was also featured on 20/20 last Friday.

        I also have a video of the glacier continually breaking off in South America, an activity that has been going on for decades. It's a tourist attraction.

        I believe the global warming fiasco is beginning to unravel, but it may take 4 or 5 years of average weather to kill it.

        In the meantime, necessary or not, our autos will become more fuel efficient because of the cost of fuel.

        That is the way change is supposed to happen ... not by government intervention.

            The Arctic Ice Cap has stunk 20% since 1979 and at a rate of 9% a decade, there will be no Arctic Ice Cap by the turn of the century. But you global warming debunkers don't care, you won't be around to see it. You find trite crap to argue against global warming as if it contradicts what most of the reputable scientists in the world confirms.

            And will this have detrimintal effects to our planet? For those who really are interested here's a link with some answers: http://www.nrdc.org/globalwarming/qthinice.asp

            He used a CGI-made clip of Arctic ice during an opening scene. The clip came from 'The Day After Tomorrow'.

            It was not used as part of any evidence presented.

            If you zoom in to the clip, you can see that one of the polar bears is holding a coke.

            I am facinated by the people who argue that global warming is false, because it would cost to much to fix if it were true.

            ???

            "While Arctic temperatures have generally increased, there is some discussion over the temperatures over Greenland. First of all, Arctic temperatures are highly variable, making it difficult to discern clear trends at a local level. Also, until recently, an area in the North Atlantic including southern Greenland was one of the only areas in the world showing cooling rather than warming in recent decades, but this cooling has now been replaced by strong warming in the period 1979-2005.

            So in reference to the last sentence what is your spin on this?
