I think it was written before the detailed analyses of the Greenland & Vostok ice cores has been published which showed conclusively that CO2 rises follow warming and therefore cannot cause warming. The MMGW fox has been well and truly shot - a point they themselves grudgingly had to acknowledge after the TV film 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' blew the gaff on them.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346636040888268385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108048.post-8638165095581462772007-04-05T23:37:00.000-04:002007-04-05T23:37:00.000-04:00Hey Big Lee,This is your old buddy Gil L., chiming...Hey Big Lee,<BR/><BR/>This is your old buddy Gil L., chiming in. First time caller, long time listener. I almost wonder if there's some sort of closet backlash going on in Hollywood. Case in point: check out "300" when it rolls into the cheapie theaters in about 8 weeks or so. It's not such a big jump for people to conclude it was a thinly-veiled propaganda piece in support of the War on Terror.<BR/><BR/>[Don't get me started on Gore and his conclusions. I am not going to deny that Global Warming isn't happening, but he's got a credibility problem with me dating back to the ozone hole days (long story there).]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108048.post-42079210779231092412007-04-02T15:01:00.000-04:002007-04-02T15:01:00.000-04:00Hello Tim, Mr P.,Thanks for dropping by. Tim, I'v...Hello Tim, Mr P.,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by. <BR/><BR/>Tim, I've seen discussions of the CO2 record and I am somewhat persuaded that, while there are interrelations between CO2 levels and global temperature variations, the relations are not as simple as the theory that the one drives the other. Global temp tends to be higher when CO2 levels are higher but, historically, the temperature rise tends to start first which makes it unlikely that CO2 has been the primary driver.<BR/><BR/>But my intention here was not to discuss global warming but to make some observations about the film industry. Which brings me to Mr. P's question about whether I feel silly pretending things. I do, actually -- sometimes -- but not for the reasons you suggest, Paul -- quite the opposite, in fact. But, observing a time-honored tradition, I allow myself just a bit of silliness this time of year -- to celebrate hemispheric warming.<BR/><BR/>BigLeeBigLeeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720359383836864551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108048.post-36166991963073992332007-04-02T13:28:00.000-04:002007-04-02T13:28:00.000-04:00Hi Lee.

Don't you feel silly pretending to think that the don't-worry-about-global-warming lobby would have any trouble at all financing a propaganda movie or three? Or that there's anything "Hollywood" won't do for money? -- Mister P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108048.post-73291633707157956502007-04-01T18:27:00.000-04:002007-04-01T18:27:00.000-04:00Check out the CO2 variations chart. Global Warming...Check out the CO2 variations chart. Global Warming happens every several 100K years according to this and the core samples analyzed by NASA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming<BR/>Perhaps CO2 levels are a symptom and not a cause. That is, perhaps CO2 percolates from soil, ocean floor, ice traps as the planet warms. If the chart is accurate then probably the Global Warming Chicken Littles are knowingly crying wolf.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986500537406785726noreply@blogger.com
