Oh, goody. I like propaganda films. I get a big container of popcorn with butter and play spot the fallacy and sheer doggerel. When I spot 20 or more I buy some licorice to reward myself.

From the title, I thought it was a film about the Trillium/OCA scandal.

Nah, I'm pretty sure the title was designed to convey the thoughtful, insightful and well reasoned and scientifically impartial approach of the film makers.

I get the feeling some of those people majored in Popsicle Stick Engineering. Nice to see they have at least one groupie to post this off topic garbage.

Way to go, Bob!

Re: Greedy Lying Bastards

To coincide with the release of this new film, a petition is circulating to ask the "US Congress to investigate climate deniers and the oil companies paying for them". I received it this morning along with the news of this new movie release from my "socialist/communist/lefty/pinko" friends. Of course, being good comrade citizen, I signed it immediately. At the time it had only a couple of dozen signatures. Now it has grown to over 600. Organizers plan to present it in person to Rep. Henry Waxman and Senator Barbara Boxer.

If anyone is interested in signing:

I'll wait until the film Nerdy, Lying, Power Mad Scientists comes out.

All those smart people who can't come up with one solution for the supposed problem.

By the way, the Arctic sea ice is cracking up already. Much worse than last year, and 51 days early.

From Sierra Club Canada website "BREAKING blog post by our resident climate science guy Paul Beckwith: Bad news folks, Arctic icecap cracking up ... "

There was a time when people in power and their followers denied the Earth is round and that it rotates around the Sun. "Heresy" was the word of that time - now it is fallacy.

Maybe those who didn't support Copernicus were just waiting for a theory that actually explained the motions they saw in the sky. *Which was not in place until Kepler.

There was a time when scientists labelled homosexuality as a mental aberration and a mental illness. When doctors supported smoking and prescribed every sort of tranquilizer and mind altering drug to deal with women's 'problems'. When scientists took LSD to experiment and performed frontal lobotomies to 'cure' mental illness. So what's your point? That science is never wrong? Should we have believed all of those things and supported all those practices because some guy in a white coat told us to? That disagreeing in any way with any scientific theory is heresy and akin to denying the earth is round? Yeah, we proved the earth round so never, ever again must you question science. Hell, sailors knew it was round well before it was 'proved'. Remember 'nuclear winter' at all? Yeah, didn't think so. http://discovermagazine.com/2000/oct...s#.UTq-gNaG12A

That sounds as fanatical as the people you referred to. Of course the only way to set all this straight is to make provocatively titled propaganda films. And here I thought climate change supporters claimed to be the rational and reasonable ones.

Oh, I thought it was the sequel to "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"... the two titles are syllabically similar :D
