An Inconvenient Truth, A movie on the topic of Global warming. Options

[Spartan]

I write this now to Inform You all that you should watch this movie..."An Inconvenient Truth".

This Movie Is all about Global warming effects on earth. The Prompter Is none other than Former American Presidential Candidate "Al Gore". He speaks about how The world is changing for the worse and how WE are contributing to the problem..He talks about Floods, Destruction of Rain forests, Melting of the Ice Caps, etc. He even goes on to talk about our car emissions and so forth. I urge you all to watch this movie Not only to inform yourselves of the problem but also to see what you can do to help reduce global warming.

Their is a survey in on a website "ClimateCrisis" which gives a rough estimate as to your current Contribution to the greenhouse effect. Mine a stunning 18.75...the average being 7.5..I was truly shocked by this movie and I hope that it will change your outlook on the subject as well. I urge that you go down the corner to your neighborhood blockbuster and Rent this movie. There were soo many shocking and disturbing Images and Graphs and Calculations from Leading scientists that it was simply and utterly shocking. I overuse the term when I use "shocking" but I mean it.

this movie is fascinatingly Interesting so if you have the time I recommend that you watch it.

Hi all, Im 38.76 years old now. When I was a child, like 30+ years ago, I could look up into the sky and see a nice yellow sun...



Now, 30 years later, you cannot look at the sun at all, for its now blazing white. Global Warming is not just happening on this planet, but all the planets are heating up. My point being is that the Sun is putting out more energy than it did 30 years ago. Im sure the other "old timers" can verify what I said.

Hey Grim, NASA's satellite's show that your years of observation unfortunately don't match the recorded data. NASA has sent up a fleet of satellites to study the sun's activity. Solar activity varies in 11-year cycles, but the actual visual light remains startingly constant. The variability of the solar irradiance (total solar energy output) peaked in 1979, declined until 1986, increased through 1991 and has since been falling.

Check out this chart:

Maybe your observations of a difference in light intensity might be because you've grown a lot taller in the past 30 years and now you are closer to the sun!
