National Geographic Releases Alarming Climate Change Movie 'Before the Flood' On YouTube (youtube.com)
dryriver writes: National Geographic's Climate Change movie "Before The Flood," featuring actor-activist Leonardo DiCaprio, can now be viewed freely on Youtube. One of the most interesting points in the movie comes at around the 23 minute mark. At 23 minutes, scientist Michael E. Mann, famous for co-discovering the "hockey stick graph" via eigenvector based climate field reconstruction (CFR), recounts how media like the Wall Street Journal demonized him for his research, how he received death threats from unknown sources, how Congress grilled him about whether his scientific methods are credible, and how he even received an envelope in the mail with strange white powder in it. The movie is worth watching because it shows very clearly that a) man-made climate change is happening and that b) the negative effects of climate change are already impacting many areas of the world.
I didn't believe in climate change before, but now that I see it on Youtube with Leonardo it makes it a) really real and b) happening as we speak.
My car has "climate" controls; not "weather" controls.
Your car has "Automatic HVAC" which your vendor has chosen to market to you under the name "climate control" — I am in the same situation, but I do not mistake this for having some relevance when discussing climate change.
No, no, the button in my car says it controls the climate: when I set it, the whole planet changes temperature to suit my comfort level. I saw it on TV./
But he pays people to starve to "offset" his carbon footprint.
or if I wanted always winter I'd go to Canada.
If you want always winter, we don't want you up here. We hate winter. It's why we're so nice - we use up all our hatred on the weather.

I've waited 30 years for this to happen.
Well, he was actually going to sail around the world on a cruise ship instead, but the last time he did it didn't end well.

You lie.
I'm citing your source. If you do not want a source cited, don't fucking cite it.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
And more like Obama who had the term "Islamic Terrorist" stricken from the record?
No, that would be Strunk & White "Elements of Style" on avoiding redundancies.
What is it about settled physics that you don't like?
Totally off-topic, but the lack of FTL travel and also the lack of flying cars are quite annoying. The lack of anti-gravity is frustrating. The fact that physics says we will probably never get those is what hurts the most.
Oh, and entropy. Fuck entropy, man.
