Most of us got Al Gore's message about global warming messages, after watching An Inconvenient Truth. But now some climatologists have started to question whether that message might have been more alarmist than accurate.
According to a new poll, Americans are worried about global warming and the impact it will have on their children. So worried, in fact, that global warming might emerge as a big issue in the 2008 presidential elections.
Back in March, we wrote about how to talk to Michael Crichton and his ilk. It seems almost impossible that there could be anyone left who denies that the Earth's climate is changing as a result of human activity. But amazingly enough, they do exist and they are extremely vocal: evidence the Competitive Enterprise Institute ads that we wrote about earlier this week.
Now WorldChanging, a blog we read regularly, has issued a call for help in dealing with these poor fools whose heads are in the sand (or somewhere less polite). Having noticed a rise in posted comments from "climate denialists," the folks at WorldChanging are calling for some groupthink. Here's what they're after:
Interests: Living life as an intiatic experience, uniting with like minds and hearts to build a better, cleaner, more peaceful world, listening to the wisdom of the inner voice, communing with the elemental forces of Nature, the arts, media and communications, personal growth and development, the natural healing arts, interesting cuisines, cinema, all that expands the consciousness, betters the Self, and links me with THAT from Which I come.
Inspiration: Whitman, Thoreau, the Tao, deep meditation, spiritually anointed words carried on the human voice and the Cosmic Winds, being with those of like mind and calling.
