    to quote another....

    "DON'T PANIC!"
    People standin on top of the white house, there's people standin up on capital hill...
    They stand up there, sound like they know something...
    They all still wake up in the morning, drink a cup of coffee and take a shit, they aint better than I am.
    And they dance around a problem... say this... talk about the eco-nomic imp-li-cations...

    But their grandfather, great great grandfather, was just like my great great grandfather, just a bunch of monkeys swingin up in trees shittin in the woods.

    err... there are some serious problems with those images. 1 and 2 do indicate the kind of global climate shifts that are indicated. But I have to admit, I feel like I'm being scammed with #3. Did anyone but me notice the major terraforming (natural or man made) that's been done to that beach? It looked like the beach has been moved back to give a real tourist beach there...

    Regarding "the oceans are rising", the information more or less contradicts them. Basic high school chem: water takes up less space when it's in liquid form, and there is FAR more ice under the ocean's surface than above. Not relevent if you have localized warming (above the ground). But if the entire planet was warming in a consistent fashion (which is the claim of the global warming idea... and actually more localized at the poles), the oceans would actually be dropping... not rising. That doesn't mean global warming still isn't real, but it does mean that there must be other explanations for the rising oceans...

    Did anyone but me feel that #6 was just plain stupid? Various pests move in and out of regions constantly... the caption was very careful not to claim something that is obviously impossible to substantiate, but it certainly tried to leave the impression. Come on, I'm pretty sure global warming is real... but photo documentaries this shoddy don't exactly make it look like it. This whole thing feels like pure propaganda.

    PS. just because it's propaganda, doesn't mean the main idea wasn't right... but it still fits into the "bad argument for a position I hold dear" thing.
