http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1133483/posts An example of what scientists need to debunk, IMHO. Yes, I've heard all the quotes about the truth being protected by a vanguard of lies, but at least lets tell some lies that aren't outrageous to the point where they cheapen and demean the scientific disciplines like a case of VD.

Even Art Bell says the movie is a stretch. If Sagan were here, I'd bet he would debunk the movie. I have been in 80 below weather and I didn't flash freeze, but I am not a credentialed meteorologist or climatologist so my opinion counts for little. Frankly, I doubt that many moviegoers will be swayed by this piece of cinematic art. Where scientists ought to step in is where international treaties and national programs are created. Some say, "Something ought to be done." Somebody ought to say, "Why? And what? Just do something, anything?" Dumping your money into a bottomless pit is something alright.
