The Great Global Warming Swindle

[Fransisco]

Come one, come all to the first ever Agri-ville movie, featuring one of Cottonpicken's favourite topics.

This is the much talked about BBC docementary that aired last week.

It's clocking in at an hour and fifteen minutes. So pop some corn and snuggle up next to your monitor to see what David Suzuki doesn't want you to see.

I must say I've lost some respect for Margret Thatcher after watching this.

And by golly I was so excited to get this posted I forgot to check my spelling.

Bad Frisco, bad.

Fransisco: Why are you posting HTML to this text box intended for ascii? No wonder the site is so slow lately...with all this extra HTML posting.

For those of us who are not nerds, and especially for we users on dial-up, the slowness of the site is significant. I am sure that your peers recognize your expertise but it is not impressing me at the moment.

Maybe i should talk about this before i watch it,oh wait that would make me look like an ass.

Lots of sound bites and fast moving clips great documentry material, and some tim ball to boot.

More orwellian doubble speak than i've seen in a long time.

Wilagro, I can sympathize, everyone hates lag but I don't think I'm the culprit here.

I just tested a couple of the Agri-ville site threads on dial-up including this one and I'm not seeing the lag right now. Though I have noticed it while on high speed a few times.

It could be a result of too much traffic at times and the agri-ville server just bogs down with all the requests.

What have the rest of you noticed?

[Fransisco]

Obviously watching the video on dial up takes forever but if you back out of the thread onto the main page it stops downloading and you're back to normal.

Wilagro,

This "The Great Global Warming Swindle" was certainly an inconvenient truth... You did an excelent job of diverting our attention from the topic.

The internet has has massive power... and will continue to change the world.

I go directly to one of the most famous sayings in the last 2000 years...

"WHAT IS TRUTH?"

It depends upon who you are... and what your perspective is!

If you are being crucified for honestly standing up for those who need help and education the most...

Truth will appear very much different than for someone living in the lap of luxury... who can buy off their responsibilities with the profits of exploytation and deceit! THis "global change" movement certainly has all the hallmarks of exploytation, intimidation, and fearmongering, mixed with a small % of real issues that need to be tended to and resolved!

Fran... good post. What do we do now?
