When Worlds Collide


Oh my! This is a pretty interesting read. Now of course this article doesn't specifically talk about GOREBAL Warning in a traditional sense, it is however, worthy of mention. I can only imagine how conflicted the disciples of the GOREBAL Warning movement would be as they drink cocktails at the next gathering in France at the "Cannes Film Festival."


The author's premise is Leondardo DeCrapio's movie the "11th Hour" preaches to the bretheren that deforestation and the harvesting of old growth forest is bad, which to the author is argues is NOT true, in terms of fighting GOREBAL Warning.


He argues that old growth forests actually hamper the reduction in CO2 because old growth trees do know ingest the same amout of CO2 as younger trees. He also argues that when old growth forests catch on fire, which many of them do, the CO2 that they have captured is released, reversing the the positive affects of CO2 capture.


I can only imagine the mass chaos that would ensue between the GOREBAL Warning crowd and Greenpeace. "For each tree you cut, we're going to kill a whale!" Greenpeace would actually fall out of favor as a liberal movement and villified as employees of Haliburton preaching such heresy!


As a footnote, are you as sick of the word "inconvenient" as I am?

So I'm guessing you haven't pre-purchased your tickets online to see "The 11th Hour"?

But, I'm guessing you will watch it. You'll want to know first hand what the movie is trying to convince "us" of. Ticket, please!
