Thanks to Gore's Live Earth concerts, the mock band Spinal Tap is going to reunite… sweetness.
Check out this simple but great little flash movie narrated by Leonardo himself. It's a summation of the problem climate change poses, using simple metaphors and easy to understand language. It's a great way to explain to people what global warming is and what it isn't.
Check it out, and pass it on if you think someone else will enjoy it.
Global Warning - [LeonardoDicaprio.org]
A documentary made by the UK's Channel 4 called "The Great Global Warming Swindle" has lived up to it's namesake by attempting to swindle unsuspecting viewers into believing what is essentially a work of fiction.
The documentary has conjured a heated reaction from many including an MIT scientist who says his views were misrepresented and manipulated in the piece and is considering litigation.
I was tipped off about this unfortunate story by the good folks at The Campaign against Climate Change (http://www.campaigncc.org/) and I've decided to pass the guts of their message straight onto you. Basically it's a list of inaccuracies in the documentary. I don't care what side you're on, just look at all the facts, after the jump.
I came across an interesting post on the blog ShoeMoney.com. Apparently they've received an email attempting to extort them out of $200 a month. If they do not comply the sender known as "dragon dragon" will use "special robots" to disable the site's Google adsense account.
What does this have to do with global warming and climate change you might ask? Well the scam artist is claiming to need the money for a magnetic energy machine prototype. He even promises to repay all the money after he "registers" the machine. I love this line though, "If you collaborate with me, you have helped to the science. And if not, I will have to close your Google AdSense account."
You can read about the so called machine at the blog given in the email scam: Magnet-Machine.blogspot.com

The video is a little slow to load, due to it's appearance on digg.com, but it's worth the wait. It's a plug for a documentary made by the CBC -TV network in Canada about the efforts of fossil fuel companies to shape government policy and public opinion about climate change in Canda and the US alike.
The tagline:
"They believe the case for global warming has not been proven. They are a group of scientists with rich and powerful allies."
Check out the video here.
Hilarious imitation of George W. Bush on the issue of global warmings. Probably not too far from the truth.
