About 25 minutes in an audience member nails the documentary folks with excellent points about natural interglacial warming and the antipathy to nukes. Worse yet the panel ADMITS that both issues were ignored by the film. The brave film makers don't want to risk antagonizing the green zombie audience by advocating modern nuclear reactors.
It would be interesting to have such panels go to the NOAA paleoclimate site, pick on some of the reconstructed climate proxy series and do the number crunching: they would be surprised to find out there have been *several* trends and temperature maxima and minima (and outliers) far beyond what we observe nowdays.
Climate change is a feature of the system, not a bug. For mankind, I would rather believe it is "fairly difficult" to change such geophysical processes. However, "faith is free" and our pastors can preach whatever they wish. I certainly hope to see some mathematicians in a coming theological symposium, as well :-)
If liberals are so worred about CO2 levels in the atmosphere, why don't they just SHUT UP? Stop EXHALING so much, morons!!! You're contributing to GLOBAL WARMING!!!
