Isn't it, y'know, scientifically illiterate horseshit that conservatives can use as a straw man to bash legitimate environmental concerns? |

Hundreds were killed during the filming - lol! |

looking forward to this one as well... i like to watch natural disasters on movies. |

Holy shit it looks gay. And unrealistic. Sorry, global warming is not caused by humans. Pollution is bad and all though. |

"Sorry, global warming is not caused by humans. Pollution is bad and all though." uh, its not? the big hole in the ozone? not our fault? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One of the largest active volcanos in the world, Mt. Erebus, (directly under the ozone hole), emits more chlorine gas and other ozone depleting chemicals than we do. The ozone hole doesn't have to do with global warming anyways, that's CO2 mostly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe not caused by, but definately sped up... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know there are other natural factors, but humans definately have a role in it. as does the hole in the ozone. if you have any links on the matter, id like to read up. |

Global warming doesn't frighten me anymore - we're pretty much running out of easily recoverable oil anyways. What will be extracted in the future will be on a scale greatly limited by economic feasibility. |

It's really funny how on these global warming websites, their "graphs of global temperature" look like they added really arbitrary jumps in temperature at the end. Then I look up temperature data charts for individual cities/locations: I have not seen one yet that shows a local increase in temperature. There are always natural fluctuations in temperature, there are several different oscillating cycles due to things like the wobble of the earth's spin, the elliptical shape of its orbit, co2 fluctuations, etc. Right now on the long term we are cooler than we should be. |

cows fart and emit methane which doesnt help supposedly its as bad as cars (the effects i mean) aint it grand wiped out by a cows fart |

I'm not choosiing sides, just have a question... are more extreme winters and summers a symptom of global warming? (i.e. colder winters and warmer summers) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think so but mappat seems to really know his shit sos ee what he says |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i definately won't be seeing this, the subject matter is interesting but i doubt it will be handled particuarly well by 'the director of Independance Day'. Coffee and Cigarettes, now thats what i want to see! |
||||||||
|

besides i hate films where the special effects are the main focus |

>are more extreme winters and summers a symptom of global >warming? (i.e. colder winters and warmer summers) probably. climate change may lead to more extreme weather rather than just hotter weather also the uk may get much colder if the gulf stream gets affected but basically the world's climate is massively complicated, and even the very best computer models can only claim to be guesswork. but the basic idea that humans can affect the climate seems feasible to me. there are over 6 billion of us, with the developed countries burning energy like crazy, and the developing world catching up fast. if CO2 doesnt get us then something else probably will unfortuneatley the large scale lifestyle changes needed to avert disaster are not likely to be taken on by people until they see proof that we are in danger. and due to the long-term nature of environmental problems, once you see proof of danger, its probably already too late. if you're a sceptic, then consider this: consider if the environmentalists turn out to be wrong: ok, the major economies may have grown less fast than they could of due to environmental legislation, and maybe some people waste time recyling stuff that wasnt really necessary. consider if the anti-environmentalists turn out to be wrong: well, the world as we know it ends. isn't it worth playing safe? |

but seriously, whos the hot chick in this movie? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Extreme weather- I don't know. The only way to stop the gulf stream is to stop the earth from rotating. I heard about that part from the movie, do they actually say why it does? Or is it just like: 'oh man temperatures are hotter so the gulf stream totally stops.' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cause when its really hot, you get lazy. the gulf stream just got hot and lazy. probably spreading its legs in front of a fan. |
||||||||

i thought natural disaster movies were played out after the late 90s. twister, volcano, everything, etc. i guess in this one they lumped them all together |

the best thing about this movie that im never going to watch is the animated gif ad they have on some corporate sites. ha! |

arg it's flash and i cant post it. |

Emmy Rossum.... Is the hot chick. Alright I guess. Nothing crazy special. The official website is a natural disastor. It SUCKS to navigate. |

i followed that link. as soon as i saw the price tag i knew it was bullshit. |

oh, i wanna see this movie, also. i love these kinds of flicks. |

>The only way to stop the gulf stream is to >stop the earth from rotating. who says? the world's climate is massively complicated, and even the very best computer models can only claim to be guesswork. (thats my opinion, and i'm sticking to it) but if you want to argue the point anyway, this is the scenario the film uses (but exagerattes and speeds up): "The scenario suggests that as global warming melts Arctic ice packs, the North Atlantic will become less salty. This would shut down a global ocean circulation system that is driven by dense, salty water falling to the bottom of the north Atlantic and that ultimately produces the Gulf Stream. This much is respectable scientific theory, and some researchers believe it could happen for real in 100 years or so. " see for full article also check out if you're interested. but take it all with a pinch of salt cos no-one knows what the fuck is going to happen really. systems this complex are way beyond our understanding. |

i blew up my electric fly swatter! i put 18 v on it (instead of 3) and... well one of the capacitors overheated and exploded. gave me one hell of an electric shock, too :D |

Ha ha, I loved that episode of Clarkson where he got this senior greenpeace guy to (extremely reluctantly) concede that cars role in pollution and global warming is less than 1%. PWNED! |
||||||||

I saw it the day before yesterday, and it really sucks!!! haha. no seriously, the movie was awful. |

>Ha ha, I loved that episode of Clarkson where he got this >senior greenpeace guy to (extremely reluctantly) concede >that cars role in pollution and global warming is less >than 1%. PWNED! hmmm ... if its the interview I remember then it was Jonathon Porritt, who is nothing to do with Greenpeace but was once the director of Friends of the Earth. Also I don't remember him conceding that point ... it seems unlikely that he would concede something that was not true. Cars and other vehicles contribute about 1/3 of US CO2 emissions, for example. I think he did concede that cattle are a major cause of CO2 though. (maybe bigger than cars - I'm not sure, can't find the stats) Ultimately though, Clarkson's defense of his envionmentally reckless lifestyle was this: "Well, tonight, you'll be cycling home in the rain and I'll be in my nice warm car." Which shows the sort of incisive reasoning that the environmental lobby are up against. |

I liked that film about the big building burning |
||||||||
|
|

|

yeah terrible. The whole film was such an anti climax because just before it started i saw two of the worst adverts in the world. The new Gillette and crappy 'powerhorse' redbull wannbe ones. I was crying so much and then when the film started i was like, oh. this sucks. Me and my friend kept talking about how crap it was that there were no sharks in NYC. |

are there actors in it, or is it all cgi? |

The ending of Deep Impact was awesome -- almost made up for the shit that precedes -- I'll certainly watch any film in which thousands of Americans perish. j/k!!!!!!! |
