Just because he made a movie about the environment (Avatar), doesn't make him an expert. I know this guy has an opinion, and he's welcome to it, but just because he is famous doesn't give him a "credibility" pass. BTW Just how much diesel did he burn up in the Atlantic, filming the Titanic, to put some coin in his pocket?

Bu-Bu-but the ships were going there anyway!

I know he is no expert, but he asked and was granted permission to have 2 climate scientists with him.  As it was, after the challenge was accepted, he kept changing the rules hoping the Skeptics would back out.  When they did not, he ran away from it with his tail tucked between his legs.

I notice the big media players aren't picking this up. Surprise, surprise.

I hope you did not turn blue holding your breath for that to happen.

Hey DG, you would have got a kick out of Hannity tonight. He had a special about the "green scam". Much of it was on global warming.

That would have been great!  Alas, we are dog sitting for the next 2 weeks and the first day was yesterday.  So I spent most of last night trying to figure out how to keep the knot head in the back yard, and then the rest walking him since he will not be kept in!  But he is house broken (and BIG - about 100 pounds), and does not cry or bark.  Of course the cats do not like him (even though he does not hate them).

I will see if I can find it on the Fox site.  But there is more yellow news too!  Seems Wiki is trying to repair its reputation after having it trashed by William Connolley.  He is the Alarmist that kept rewriting all the articles on the site removing any hint that there is a debate about it, and also rewriting the bios of the skeptics putting in slanderous accusations.  It wants the editors to vote of punishment for him.  Alas, their reputation is already trash, so why bother?  no one uses it who wants to be credible.

About the only thing I like Wiki for is the reference sources, I will use it movies and such, if I want to know more on trivial matters. I was busy when Hannity was on, but I caught snippets and it seemed  quite well put together. It follows the money trail. I would recommend it to everyone that believes their money on "green" products is really helping, then make up their mind for themselves.

And here I thought conservatives didn't care what the "loony lefties" of Hollywood did, or said.

Hypocrite?

It's his life, oh well. Move on with yours, I'm sure you could find something much more intellectually stimulating.

Best. ~M

Settin' 'em up & knockin' 'em down.  Predictable as night and day.

Come again?

References? Quotes? When costs of Hollywood elites whims are being discussed in congress, with potential impact on the taxpayer, who wouldn't care? It is nice to make it up as one goes along. Thanks for adding to the conversation. What exactly was it again?

Milonas- you wouldn't by chance be the current incarnation of Lucas, A.K.A. AJ, would you?

I do not have to care about what they believe (as I do not really care about Ted Danson's prediction about the oceans in 10 years, made over 20 years ago), but I do find solace in the fact they do not have the courage of their (misguided) convictions.

Perhaps you live a very vanilla life with no spice in it.  I hope you enjoy it.  But whether he makes super boring movies (Titanic) or super expensive one (Avatar) is his business.  Whether he wants me to pay for his stupidity is my business.

If you can't discuss/debate the message, attack the messenger!

Thank you for stating it move succinctly than I did.
