Great line

I just want to know why they are named moveon.org when they dwell on things for...presidential terms. MOVE ON!

And ladies and gentlemen, over here on this thread we have those who don't believe our environment is in trouble. And who did not even question why the Bush Administration would not include the section on global warming in the government's report on the environment. The report that their own scientists wrote! Ladies and gentleman, yes, these people will probably not believe in evolution in a few years. This is your chance. Watch them as they listen to Rush and Hannity and peruse the latest from Newsmax! Step right up!

Oh and...

"Whether its premise is valid or not, or possible or not, the very fact it's about climate change could help to spur debate and dialogue," said Gretchen Cook-Anderson a spokeswoman for the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). "In the event that the movie is popular beyond American borders, it will be an opportunity to spur dialogue, to inform people and educate people about climate changes."

Where did all the planet killing asteroids go? They are my plan to prevent global warming.

doesn't the ice follow people in that movie?

At some point, nature will need to 'adjust' itself, and we'll get a mass extinction. It's happened what, five or six times since the beginning of earth? It'll happen again, whether we cause it or not.

Does anybody really care this much?

astudill

It'll happen again, whether we cause it or not.

I think most of us would be mighty pissed if people a hundred years ago knew this was going down and did nothing to look into it and especially if they could have given us more time by not hastening it. So, yes, I care about stewardship. And my nieces and nephews. And their children. And so on. And so on.

Does this mean I won't have to run from carousel?

but it will leave people wondering, "Could this really happen?"
Only if you were in a bomb shelter when Y2K came around (read: you're paraniod as fark). If you can think for yourself and aren't easily swayed, you'll probably realize that the movie is crap.

Seriously, this is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Is this supposed to be a political statement? A bad movie, with little science to back it up? Hell, this isn't even like MoveOn backing a movie like Fahrenheit 911 (something that is to be expected)...

I wonder if everyone who will be handing out fliers rides a bike everywhere, and never adds to the global warming problem.
Here, I'll help you guys out. Want to see what global warming does? Look at the runaway greenhouse that is the planet Venus. Don't watch a bad movie.

Did anyone say the environment is 100% healthy? Anyone?
Who says these people didn't question the administrations inclusion (or non-inclusion) of global warming info? Because they didn't do it in this thread (which was about MoveOn's amusing decision to support this movie, not Bush and his homeys)?

Questioning MoveOn's stupid move != thinking global warming is not a problem, or thinking that Bush likes the environment, or that one is a Republican, etc. It's simply questioning the reasoning behind a pretty extreme politically-motivated organization backing a poor movie... Instead of informing people about global warming, they go out and have the people watch a movie that's pretty skimpy on scientific proof?
That does a boatload of good... scare the public, instead of educating them. I mean, it certainly worked with sex-ed, didn't it?

You know people, you don't need to turn EVERYTHING into an argument about politics. And you have to realize that because a person disagrees with someone, doesn't mean they agree with someone's opponent.

Ugh, I've just had a bad day. I'll be normal tomorrow.
I really wouldn't be so annoyed if there had been a few pro-Bush posts earlier on... but nothing was said to support Bush, or even to suggest that global warming isn't a problem. No better than what the NeoCon supporters would do, if you ask me.

//what the hell does RANT mean?

this sort of makes me think twice (ok a third time) about moveon.org. That's just stupid. Of course, maybe they're trying to appeal to that demographic so... ;)

***sigh***

Anything to sell movie tickets and guns.

Mmm, waffles...

The movie the White House doesn't want you to see -



It works on so many levels!

I thought this honor belonged to Fahrenheit 9/11?

Hopefully this will turn into a flame-war and we can heat up those waffles. Damn, I'm hungry.

Cool.
Voting seems to be enabled.
I guess you can vote on your favorite flame.

The situations in this movie are quite silly.

We can destroy ourselves, but earth will always find a way to survive. If you belive God put us here, or evolution we have not been on Earth to long, Earth will out last us and repair what little damage we have actually done, it is time for our race to get off this God complex that we can destroy this plant. They are numerous things in the universe that we can not control that cause Global Warming, it is something nature is doing and not us. We can destroy our selves, and not this planet. Even if we destroy ourselves with Nuclear weapons Earth will find a way to repair itself. If might take thousands of years, but it will occur. The Earth will outlive our race, no matter what you do, as soon as you accept that we do control the universe!

"Thousands of MoveOn members will be there to enjoy the show, to help get people talking about the real danger of a climate crisis, and to take action to prevent one."

Sell-out! We sold our soul for rock and roll.
ERRRR, well maybe for just some good hard $$$$.Taking you even less serious Moveon.whore --if that were possible.

I thought Fahrenheit 911 was the movie the White House does not want me to see?

Tin-foil hats selling like waffles

Can I order my tinfoil hat with butter and syrup?

I think it's amusing that a movie (Fahrenheit 9/11) will destroy Bush's presidential campaign.

Vote for me if you masturbate on a regular basis.

clj124,

Totally agreed. When people say the things we do are unnatural...as I recall, the chemicals we've made are made from chemicals naturally occurring in nature.

If we screw ourselves, the earth will eventually break down what we do, and some lizard species will go sentient or something...oh, well...

Let me try.. umm..

Global warming is basically a religious philosophy, not a scientific fact. It requires a belief that the combustion of fossil fuels negatively impacts our environment without sufficient evidence or explanation of the processes involved.
I believe that God is responsible for all weather, and clearly if he is warming the earth, it's because we've pissed him off, probably about the whole gay marriage thing.
So you can see, clearly Bush, by attempting to ban gay marriages, cares about the environment and is doing his best to prevent global warming.

This is so pathetic. Not that I took moveon seriously in the first place, but to link themselves to a really stupid movie that even the most ardent environmentalists dismiss as impossible is quite insane. Anything to bash Bush I guess...

Ah damn, forgot to enable voting.
A vote for me is a vote for my other post!

I saw that the other day, a freind and I just sat there MST3K'ing it. That was fun.

I think it's amusing that a movie (Fahrenheit 9/11) will destroy Bush's presidential campaign.

I think it's funnier that people think Michael Moore is any more credible than Jayson Blair.

"So it's silly, almost, to listen to the political turmoil being stirred up over Emmerich's newest disaster movie, "The Day After Tomorrow."

http://www.sltrib.com/2004/May/05302004/arts/170871.asp

moveon.org is silly.

I went with a bunch of far far left friends to see The Day After Tomorrow.
Cool effects, but we all agreed the movie itself was laughable.
Very silly.

But, global warming is still an issue, and stuff.

Day After Tomorrow was a poopfest.

Anyone involved in the making of the film and anyone who liked it shall be put to death for the sake of humanity.


/poopfest!

Easily the movies grossest inaccuracy is when the US Vice President admits that he was wrong.

"The Day After Tomorrow" is a Republican's wet dream film. It's probably doing more to discredit the idea of global warming as a topic of serious scientific discussion then any specch by Bush ever could.

It's a movie, but Global Warming is a real concern, folks. The George W. Bush adminstration has even said it is - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2023835.stm

And here's something from National Geographic concerning the questions raised by the movie -
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/05/0518_040518_dayafter.html.

Remember, there's boobies at National Geographic.

A Republican's Wet Dream: lower wages, no taxes, & immunity from Government enforced laws that keep the rabble in their place.

A Democrat's Wet Dream: A world without neo-conservatives.

Thanks, redbo you have a gift for satire...I hope.

Screw Bush.
Screw Kerry.

/vote 3rd party.

//Secret service at my door, got to run.

BLIAD THE IMPALER is that SFW?

If there is a God. And he put us here. It was to look out for each other and to take care of and enjoy each other and the world he made for us. So far we have failed miserably.
If scientists tell us we need to stop doing things that hurt the environment. I think we should listen to them. Not worry about how much of our profit it'll cut into. Or pass the burden onto our children.
