An Inconsistent Truth

My wife and I both watch Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" on Sunday, October 6th and then we watched Phil Valentine's "An Inconsistent Truth" on Monday, October 7th. I will happily share my findings between both the movies. Few teasers (very mild giveaways) on each follow...An Inconvenient Truth:1) Al Gore presented some interesting statistics. His carbon-to-temperature ratio was alarming, intriguing, and off the charts. In my opinion, it swayed me most to wonder "man's effect".2) Al presented facts about how water basins rapidly melted the Antarctic. This was compelling to me, however, I was very skeptical. I thought to myself, "if this melting will put Miami, the World Trade Centers,and pieces of San Francisco Bay underwater, 'why haven't we lost any beaches yet?'" Seems like a beach or a building would fall underwater before Miami goes...3) Al offered other examples of the global warming's effect. I will leave it at that...An Inconsistent Truth:1) The first thing I was able to notice was that Al had much more to spend on the production. Phil's production is good, but Al's is very professional. There is a difference in production quality.2) From the beginning, I noticed a slightly different tone in Phil's production. First, Phil used multiple (6+) resources and various Ph.D.'s to explain his position. From what I remember, Al was proud to be his own expert.3) Phil has much evidence to counter what was presented in Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth". For one, the mini Ice-Age lasting until the Civil War. Second, what would you expect after an Ice Age - please don't say heating because that will upset Al Gore. I found it Phil's knowledge along with his experts' knowledge very useful in developing my position. I will allow Phil and his experts to explain it best.Overall I highly recommend watching both films to develop your own perspective. The most salient issue presented to me is that An Inconsistent Truth is based on EXPERT OPINION. Phil even introduces many individuals opposing opinions and allows the viewer to make their own decision. This does not occur in Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth"...I cannot recommend enough for you to be be open minded, watch both films, and make a decision for yourself on your positions regarding global warming.I cannot help but leave you with one striking quote from Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth". Al condemns the warming opposition in a quote from Upton Sinclair, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!" As it turns out, THE POT SHOULD NEVER - EVER - CALL THE KETTLE BLACK! I could never more emphasize the reasons to see both productions!

The big "crisis" of Global Warming comes from looking (inaccurately) at global temperature within the past hundred years or so, and then touting this trend as a huge problem that mankind is responsible for and that mankind can fix (or at least be taxed for). FACT IS, YES, relative to a hundred years ago, our planet has warmed in a way that could be described as dramatic if one never looks further into the past. BUT, FACT IS, a hundred years ago the earth was still in recovery from a "Mini Ice Age" that lasted some two hundred years. PRIOR TO THAT, between approximately 1100 and 1600 there was a "Medieval Warming" whose peak temperature was over 4 degrees higher than today. In other words, viewed over the last millennium, the present earth temperature is WELL BELOW AVERAGE.The second Gore falsehood that this brilliant film exposes is the idea that mankind is largely responsible for climatic change. FACT IS, THE SUN IS BY FAR AND AWAY THE PRIMARY FACTOR IN GLOBAL TEMPERATURE...all of mankind's energy generated is but a tiny blip in the noise far below what the sun is responsible for! REAL SCIENCE has recently shown that sunspot activity has been decreasing, showing REAL CONCERN for a huge global cooling about to occur.Carbon Dioxide is NOT a pollutant, it is an essential gas which plants use and therefore essential for life on earth! In our distant past, for example, when dinosaurs were present, CO2 levels were much higher than anything near the past 100,000 years, and the effect was a warmer earth in which vegetation (the source of our food, by the way) thrived.The people that headed up the Global Warming hoax, most importantly Al Gore himself, have a lot invested on fooling the public into thinking we can change our climate and, moreover, we need to. Sadly, the average American thinks Global Warming is a problem, one that we are guilty of causing, and one that we can "fix." All three parts (problem, guilt, fix) are complete nonsense put forward to make Mr. Gore and his fellow crooks the first "Carbon Billionaires" in history...all at our expense.Thanks so much to Phil Valentine and his many helpers in making this film, it is a "must see" for all of us.

Phil Valentine did a great job of presenting the other side of Al Gores view point. I think Phil Valentine did a great job of presenting the truth.

Fantastic movie! I am a 20 yr old MTSU college student from Nashville, TN and I have been waiting for this thing to come out for over a yr. I've been a listener of Phil's since I was about 12 yrs old and have loved his show ever since. I wasn't able to attend one of his Theater screenings, so I patiently waited for him to release his DVD. As soon as I got paid I purchased his DVD and watched it as soon as I got it. One more thing, the shipping was incredibly fast-first class, I got it 2 days after I placed the order. As far as the documentary, it is well Phil Valentine filled with loads of information, graphs, experts, interviews, etc. There were parts that were very comical at times too, such as the security guard at the Al Gore book signing, and the people he interviewed around downtown Nashville. It amazes me that people are so clueless about this situation and that my own generation are morons. CO2 is not a pollutant, and life without it wouldn't exist!
