    Do you believe this?

    Dan Miller is basically refuting Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" and telling his listeners that the data is "watered-down". He says the ice caps are supposed to melt much much earlier - prediction 2020 and he has satellite images and graphs to prove it.

    The clip of his speech on the ice caps is on youtube:

    YouTube - Melting Trends: Arctic Ice Completely Gone by 2020?

    and his full speech is here:

    1 hour long so it's a lot to listen to

    FORA.tv - A REALLY Inconvenient Truth: Dan Miller

    I personally don't care much seeing as if we're really headed down this path, I don't see any full turnaround and if we're bound to die then oh well!

    I love how people in the thread are arguing it's a conspiracy.

    Nonchalance is a typical reaction to mortality and a good way of dealing with the stress these thoughts might cause.

    The world as we know it will end soon? In 2020? Surely, you are off by eight years. Why worry? If the world is filled with water and no land, we will just develop gills. I am just worried about my elecrtical equipment with water all over the place. That will be our real problem which no one seems to care about...

    If we got rid of all the salt in the oceans, would it slow the polar ice caps from melting?

    Salt lowers waters freezing point, but good luck with that.

    The icecaps on the Hindu Kush will have started to disappear before 2020 and ~3billion people with nukes are gonna be running low on water, the ensuing conflict's nuclear winter will probably kill us all so smoke em if you've got em ^ -^

    Something *similar* happened before, Medieval Warm Period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .

    Followed by a Little Ice Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .

    That said, the reports are really scary this time around.

    Yep, ice caps are gonna melt.

    Also, 9th coldest summer where I live since 1890. It all makes perfect sense.

    I remember hearing that the 2 graphs(Heat / Carbon Level) were misplaced in Al Gore's ICT and that the Carbon levels actually lagged behind the heat level, implying that as the Earth Got Hotter, there was more carbon created, and not the other way around.

    Wish I could find the source, Ill have to look around for it.
