We watched An Inconvenient Truth in class 2 days ago.

Yep! Al Gore presented some good points in the movie, but about half of it was about him instead of global warming, so I thought it was kind of stupid.

The only part I liked was when they showed a clip from futurama.

I'd go see it just to spend the entire movie mouthing off Al Gore if I didn't know that some fraction of my ticket price would end up in the fucker's pocket.

Wow, just wow. I thought that maybe in the forums of this site, I could find intelligent people, but instead I find a bunch of people who think that the most important scientist of our time is wrong, with no argument as of why. A man that was able to calculate the radiation of black holes on the edge of the universe by using only theoretical math he himself developed. When they sent COBE to space to verify his calculations, his calculations were so identical to his that the differences were negligible. Now he holds Newton's chair at Cambridge. I find it hard to believe that a bunch of people who base your beliefs on what wikipedia articles and what biased bought scientists say (it is now a fact that the government and companies like Exxon paid scientists to disagree with Global Warming:

http://money.cnn.com/2007/02/02/news/companies/exxon_science/index.htm?cnn=yes)
are arrogant enough to think that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Hawking's are wrong and that they are right. Even after studies like this one:

http://www.yobserver.com/cgi-bin/2007/exec/view.cgi/23/11651

If you want to think that you are smarter than one of the legends in astronomy, then fine, but go ahead and back up your claims with something different than wikipedia articles and google research. Use some data for once. If you people even know what that means.

Also, one of the facts posted on this site:

• Every gallon of gas burned in a car releases enough carbon dioxide to raise the temperature of the Earth 10^(-32) degrees Fahrenheit.

If you don't like the truth, then start your own site, you can call it gullible disinformation learned by college kids who have too much time with their internet.

Wow, just wow.

Hi. Come on in. Have a seat. Tea? Coffee?

Now, tell me, exactly which charm school did you graduate from?

college kids

I think there are about three college kids on this site.

Did you not research anything about this site before you joined?

What about people who are in college who aren't kids?

Let the ad hominems flow and let the evidence be denied.

That post had about as much point as a roundabout.

What the hell are you on?

I hate it when people make large claims then go offline when we respond!

I am not denying that Stephen Hawkins is stupid. He's a genius, and everyone knows that. He's so outrageously smart, that he's paralyzed! It's just that his opinions differ from ours.

I think you meant to say something else, Cody!

I'm saying that:
A. Stephen Hawkins is friggin' smart.
B. What I think does not agree with what Stephen thinks.

Whoops! My bad.

If you had ANY idea about ANYTHING on this site you would know that NO ONE is allowed to use Latin phrases unless they know the case and function of the word that you say. Please either edit your post, or tell me the case and function.

That's always a good reason.

He acts like I just denied the holocaust. Quite amusing behavior actually, similar to the way religious people act when you start applying pressure on their beliefs.

Is that Eastern Daylight Time? Ya know, just so he/she has no excuses...

maaan funny stuff happened on this thread while I was out and about!

I thought he was talking about al gore! LOL. also, if ol' Stephen had given maybe just a little bit o' info backing up his ideas in his video I would have an easier time agreeing with him. and you critisize us for not using any data! goddamn hipocrites!

Ok, he's had a 4 hour extension, i want my case and function NOW

Stephen Hawking is definitely an astounding theoretical physicist and has spent years learning, calculating, theorizing and redifining the way we look at the universe.

Now, please explain why I should listen to him on ecology? I mean, last I checked, ecology and theoretical physics are two very different subjects.

Bravo, well said.

What do have to say to that, Archel?

I have a feeling he's not gonna show his face around here again.

I don't think he's showing up ever again. He was thoroughly verbally thrashed.
