more inconvenient truths
So sparking the global warming debate all over again, Al Gore has successful put the issue on the tongues of those interested. Another thing that sparked is the opposition movement. Its a funny thing, even truth has an opposition.
Regardless of my views i'll leave you to your own conculsions.
The following is a website launched by sourcewatch which aims to dig up the truth behind media and ads. This particular review looks at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a neo-liberal think tank that drives free-market policy. Sourcewatch accuses CEI of lying to the public in order to drive big business profits. One of its biggest campaigns is to confuse consumers about the global warming debate by trying to convince us that CO2 is a good thing, and that in fact the ice caps are getting thicker. ???.

What kind of democracy do we live in that the elite continues to exploit and twist information like a dictator to push their own greedy interests? You cannot have a successful democracy or true free market without truth!

There is a very famous lake in Pakistan: Saif-ul-Malook. You must observe its photos over time.
In 1991, when I first visited the place, we crossed a glacier that was around 1.5 km (or 1km, I am not sure) long. It was gigantic, one could fall into the massive holes that summer sun had made in it.
In 2002, I went back. There was a patch of ice in the place of the glacier that was being used as an open-air refrigerator for cold-drinks. In effect, the glacier was GONE.
The entire area has nearl been levelled to make access easy to the lake. As if it's not a natural spot to be trekked up to, but a hotel in Karachi accessible to the weakest of horsepowered cars.
Tragic!
* Previously, the ride up to the lake was through a series of hair-pin turns....
The lake itself is like an ordinary, dirty park now.
