Guest clubchicky Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 ok...republican or democrat or whatever the hell you believe in...it doesn't matter much...facts are facts....if you research the history of the Earth and what has happened in the past....will show that history repeats itself...we will have another ice age and half the population will die off blah, blah, blah....to tell you the truth it really won't matter a hell of alot because by the time this happens we will be already dead!and I may not be any expert but my science classes have paid off and they don't talk about political affiliation anyway! oh yeah I forgot I am an English major...so I guess I am not qualified to talk about science huh Shaun??? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slamminshaun Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 On top of that he wrote a book 15 years ago on the called 'Earth in Balance' I would think that if one were to write and publish a book that still remians on the NY Times Best Seller List as of this day and to address millions of people in 160 nations around the world and be the leading proponent in the Kyoto Protocol that this person would somewhat know what they are talking about.. I never said Al Gore didn't believe all that guff he spits out. All you've proven to me thus far is that he actually believes what he writes, still haven't proven what his credentials are as a scientist, but sounds like some of his friends might be. He's an English, Law, Religion major who taught journalism at Columbia. He's qualified to help you find Jesus and pronouns, but not harmful gasses...wait, actually, he is qualified to help you find harmful gasses, just follow that unnecessary private jet he flies around in.

So... if a journalist travels around the world and observes and reports about the work that scientists are doing... then should I discredit his report because he himself is not a scientist??

Guest coach Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 How long has it been since Gore graduated college? Who gives a fuck what he studied in college? What has he been studying *since* is the question.Oh, and Chicky, whoever told you that history repeats itself was mistaken. If that were true, where are the dinosaurs, now?

Just because you agree with what he says, doesn't indoctrinate him as an expert....Coach, I agree with you. What has he done *since* his old college days? Well, he was a professor at the Columbia School of Journalism AFTER he lost his presidential bid in 2000. Unless he was teaching environmental physics for journalists 101, I seriously doubt he had anything to do with science, proving again he is NOT an expert in science.

At least to me. I mean, you certainly wouldn't want some dorky scientist trying to set a scene or create a storyline.I haven't seen the movie, so I would say that its believability would hinge on who is IN the movie and what their credentials are. If Gore is interviewing environmental scientists, then that is legitimate. If he is just spouting off from his own "knowledge" then that would indeed be suspect.

[/quote']So what qualifies George Bush to send 150,000 troops to Iraq?WTF man? Does a musician who loves music, works a regular job 9-5 in a job that's not in the music industry, and does not get paid for the music that he has loved all his life, not called an expert in music? What if the environmental cause was something like a hobbie for Al Gore? He's obviously spent more time observing the environment and gathering information from scientists, more than most people in this country. Isn't that part of what knowledge is? Isn't gathering and exchanging information part of knowledge? Just becasue someone doesn't get paid for their passion or earn a degree in something doesn't mean that they are not experts.

They even have Al Gore in Antarctica with a group of scientists looking at frozen ice sheets that show the carbon levels of the Earth that have been frozen in time for 600,000 years..!! There's a whole gang of data on that DVD that Al Gore presents in a Bi-Partisan (non-partisan way).And the data on the DVD is blatently simple and obvious to understand. Some of you non believers shouldn't be judging until you've actually seen it.Like I said before people, PM me with your address and I will mail you a copy of the DVD..

Guest slamminshaun Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Dude you're telling all of us not to believe in the information that Al Gore is relaying to the public from these scientists. I didn't say that, believe what you want. But please go back and read my posts more carefully. I was pretty clear. I said Al Gore is not an expert, and a bunch of you had a coronary over it. Saying Al Gore isn't an expert has nothing to do with the credentials of the people he's "reporting" on. What if the environmental cause was something like a hobbie for Al Gore? Exactly my point. Anyone who tours the world in a private jet and has two homes the size of a football field obviously isn't serious about saving the Earth, it's more like a hobby. It's easy to tell others how to live, just as long as he doesn't have to make any sacrifices himself.Shaun you are shooting the messenger.. I thought Al Gore was an expert. Now he's just a messenger? I see I've made some progress with you in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swirlundergrounder Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I thought Al Gore was an expert. Now he's just a messenger? I see I've made some progress with you in this thread. Since when does being a spokesperson (messenger) disqualify you from being an expert?Dude quit trying to twist shit around. Let me give you an example of something that may make more sense to you.Say someone who did not know me and my wife spoke to both of us about music with the knowledge that one of us has a degree in music but did not know which one of us had a degree in music. That person would say that clearly Terry has the degree in music not his wife. Wrong! My wife has a degree in music from Duke University. But between me and her I know far more about music than she does! So are you going to try and tell me that you would disqualify my obvious knowledge and expertise in music just because I did not formally study it and obtain a degree in it? And if I sat down and told you about topics in music that I was knowledgable in than you would just call me a messenger and not an expert? Dude you are way off base this time.. !

Guest slamminshaun Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 It amazes me that I'm the one considered "hard-headed" and "ignorant" when in fact, I actually consider BOTH sides, not just the doom and gloom side. Apparently, considering both sides of this issue should be grounds for decertification of your scientific credentials.

Guest Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I thought it is supposed to be really cold down here this time of the year? We only got maybe a week of cold wheather.

I want to wear some jackets for a few months before it ges nasty hot again..then move to a cold state.. i personally like the weather right now and hate the cold weather.GLOBAL WARMING MY ASS. If it's global warming then how come the hi record was 82 for this day back in 1955? and today it was 70 something?
