We'll all be rooned, said the chicken ?
Has MR GORE really added any credibility to the circus of filmmakers and fearmongers who play up to the people's fears? - I think not ; Rather the reverse. Panic merchants who peddle facts as fears ( can you visualise the falling glaciers filling up the big bath of the world ?)risk the true sustained and economic benefits of reality therapy.
The annoying part for those of us who agree that we need to do really big things in conservation is that this completely uneccesary haste and makes for huge waste.
The overly worshipful approach to tokens and quick fixes ( a whole program in hushed silence) put a dent in dear Denton's often delightful willingness to let the man or woman talk.
You've got to wonder what has bewitched so many of our journos to dissolve their long diffident relationship with Americans -let alone USA polys. They think they are reporting science, but they act like they are in church ,
Well ive got facts for em . They are reporting polys and scaremongers; Not geoscientists,
If they want the synergies of big picture thinking and facts maybe they should joining the scientology movement like other famous ....... leaders of the image age?
Gore and those who joust at things they feel are important --don't know what geoscientist know ---He was totally unconvincing on using the facts -So ....Short term gain long term pain for the latest campaign to set the city free from its fears .To avoid fear and lost causes look deeper and wider and to real scientists -not those who quote them to make their stories and pics sound convincing. Dumb really dumb and they and so many don't even KNOW it. so much for the media painting the big picture by reportingbeyond mere facts (http://swearthnews.blogspot.com)
