An Inconvenient Truth – Al Gore’s movie
I just saw the DVD —and so did George Tziralis’ brother.
The main points:
The Keeling curve, measuring CO2 from the Mauna Loa Observatory. [See chart below.]
The retreat of numerous glaciers is shown in before-and-after photographs (see Retreat of glaciers since 1850).

HOW THE HELL CAN YOU TRUST A PREDICTION EXCHANGE THAT CAN’T SPELL CORRECTLY???
