Comments for Truths and Myths About Weather in Hollywood Blockbusters »
Posted By zaph22 1 year, 7 months ago in NewsAl 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 "

wow, thanks for letting me know I'm an anti-environmentalist just because I think Gore's, profit for Gore motivated, THEORY, not fact, on global warming, or climate change (take your pick on what to call it) is bull. But since you just informed me that I'm an anti-environmentalist for not agreeing with you and that nutcase Gore, I guess I can stop recycling, stop all the other things I do to conserve, I can now keep my home as warm or as cool as I like without considering the cost to myself and others, and to the planet. It's sure good that you let me know I don't care about the environment just because I believe the warming, and current global cooling is part of nature and I don't think we should mess with nature, and because my views are not the same are yours. I guess that's why all the things I do to pollute, and waste, as little as possible is all a waste of time since I don't agree with your point of view. So again thanks, no more recycling for me now,

and I'll be using my AC a lot this summer, and all because you were kind enough to let me know that in spite of all my efforts to help keep our environment clean, it was all a waste of time since I'm an ANTI-environmentalist. Without you telling me I'd have never known, so thanks again!!!

I have no idea, I can't get anyone at Propeller to explain it to me. I only know that I can't post it, can't put it in a comment, and when I tried sending it to someone in a private message the url was taken out and replaced with the words "banned url"
But if you would like to read the story, AC found the same story at a different url and sent it to me so I could post the story, it's at this link...

LOL, Abntv. Just as good flim-flam though. You can't clone dinosaurs from amber preserved dead tissue. Looks great on screen though!
The computer model has to be an exact representation, possibly, maybe, aw shucks! Get my big footprint & clone it. -Rev. S

"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.

"but I guarentee you that movies made that are against this point of view use shots that are also suspect."
I don't know if that is true or not, but either way, it doesn't excuse Gore for doing it, the "they did it too" way of looking at it doesn't make what Gore did any more honest, as many of us heard from our parents "Just because all your friends jumped off a bridge...."

BK: There are dishonest people with opposing ideas, but Al Gore? This truth is downright inconvenient! LOL
Certainly convenient & good to have a hay day! HAGD!
Nobody on all the threads has aptly answered why Mars & other planets are heating up at this time. No CO2 emissions there.
The amount of CO2 in our atmosphere is minuscule compared to the overall mass of gases. -Rev. S

Dude, this is so old. Try using google rather than keep repeating asinine propaganda copied and pasted right out of the right wing extremist blog sites.

Here is that for which you asked, yet not right wing extremist blog sites:
"Scientists from NASA say that Mars has warmed by about 0.5C since the 1970s. This is similar to the warming experienced on Earth over approximately the same period."
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/articl...
"Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a naturalâ;;and not a human-inducedâ;;cause..."
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02...
These articles have disclaimers internally, but the jury truly is out. No good explanation has been given me on these threads.
As one journalist observes on this topic: "Creating group-think and mass behavior should be anathema to honest journalists. Otherwise, reporters become opinion makers rather than neutral observers." Instead, opposing thought is denigrated by ad hominem attacks, as do you. -Rev. S

it also has other links to explain in better detail for you...
http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-...
"There are three fundamental flaws in the 'other planets are warming' argument:
Not all planets are warming - some are cooling
The sun has shown no long term trend since 1950
There are explanations for why other planets are warming "
As I said for specifics click on the links at the above website...

you're also cherry picking from your own articles you provided. They're giving you some of the answers right there:
"In a paper published in the journal Nature, she suggests that such winds can stir up giant dust storms, trapping heat and raising the planet's temperature." theres more about this on your article
And then on you natl geo article it states:
"Abdussamatov's work, however, has not been well received by other climate scientists. "
His views are completely at odds with the mainstream scientific opinion," said Colin Wilson, a planetary physicist at England's Oxford University.
"And they contradict the extensive evidence presented in the most recent IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] report."
thertes more there too, or did you choose to cherry pick your research?

No, no we are totaly disillusioned.
He used a CGI clip from a movie, as a background while talking about the Arctic!
The fiendish liar! The fraud! True, the rest of the movie stands as a lighthouse of truth bravely shining against the fog of conservative twaddle, but that is not good enough.
As you know, we leftist have rather, ah, 'higher' standards than the you of the right.
Adieu, Mr. Gore.

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.

To fulfill your evil "end of the world prophecy" and create the "tribulations" you so desperately hope for. Instead of facing reality and helping to fix our problems you have chosen to subvert, lie, deny science, and mostly DENY all responsibility and pray you will be "taken away" when your destructive handywork comes to fruition. (You WON'T be. You can watch YOUR children starve, too. Only you will probably ENJOY it since it "proves prophecy.")
I have Christian pamphlets from 1982(!) screaming how their IS NO TEMPERATURE RISE. LIES. LIES. LIES. And FOR WHAT?
To follow the will of SATAN and destroy us all to feed your colossal egos?
Stop sabotaging the world you SATANIST F*cks!!!

If you make the world choose between the reality of Global Warming or the reality of Christianity, Christianity will lose.
Have you learned NOTHING from your gay-hating that has cost you so many followers? Nothing from Galileo?
Now you hate those of us trying to prevent mass starvation.
Don't make the world choose...you will lose...

Well Crespi how do you want to prevent mass starvation - turn corn into ethanol??
Have the farmers plant corn instead of wheat?
Even some people in the EU are recognizing that food crops for biofuel is a huge mistake and are calling for a moratorium
Will it make you feel better to drive around using E85 knowing that people are starving but you are on a mission to save the planet from global warming.
That's more important than planting food crops?
What in the world does Christianity have to do with this??
Politicians caved to big AgriBusiness with the global warming fanatics cheering them on
You are now seeing the results of your shortsightedness and refuse to accept responsibility
You forced the choice - food or ethanol. Now you don't like the results and want to set up a straw man to blame
At least be honest enough to admit that corn for ethanol is a boondoggle!

Anyone can come up with ridiculous conspiracy theories
How about this one:
The Global Warming fanatics wanted to use food crops for biofuel. They knew it would create food shortages and starvation. They would solve 2 of their perceived problems at once - combat Global Warming AND lower the world population.

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?
