Leo DiCaprio @ Live Earth

Jared you rock! Thank you, I couldnt catch all of it this past weekend so thanks for coming through. Leo is a good apple .. candy apple Mmmmmm

Gahhhh! Wish I could have been there!!!! The concerts generated good energy. People complain about paying more $$$ for gasoline or when the price of heating a house goes up. We complain when we have to pay more for clothing and food. Think about it. Everything depends on transportation. Everything. If the price of oil goes up, the price of gasoline goes up. So airlines, and trucks that transport people and freight and food, will charge more. In the end, all these costs are passed on to us. And the corporations make “windfall” profits. It’s a no brainer.

Here we go again.

Please people, please, please get educated on the issue of AGW (anthropogenic global warming).

There is too much silly cherry-picked rhetoric on both sides of the issue. You cannot point to an individual year and say: “Wow, it is really hot this year.. global warming is happeneing!” Observing AGW and ramifications is a matter of watching TRENDS not individual events.

Likewise, you cannot pull out a couple of articles by authors of questionable credentials that support your pre-conceived conclusions. This is how the detractors are still maintaining the tiny foothold they have left in the argument. That and the media feels the need to present a “balanced argument” giving naysayers a disproportional amount of time (comparing to scientific consensus).

My spouse is an actual scientist who’s work is directly related climate change issues. She lectures and gives seminars on the subject. I can say unequivocally, the people here saying AGW is not happening are completely full of s**t. And don’t event start about her being motivated by her source of money for research. You have to be in love with your job or insane to do this job for how hard she works and how much she makes.

Of course there is disagreement w/in the scientific community. Not all facts and factors are clear as the systems and feedback loops are so incredibly complicated but there are a many many things that are indisputable atm.

Fact: AGW is occuring. It is a combination of natural cycles and human industrial induced factors.
Fact: Human contribution is the prevailing factor. We ARE causing a enormous acceleration in the RATE of warming.
Fact: Not all areas of the earth will warm. The 2 largest issues resulting from AGW are raising sea levels, which are going to displace millions of people in low laying areas of the world. Mostly these people are going to be in socio-economically depressed areas that will cause many issues. Secondly is the disruption of known weather patterns. Things are going to shift in such a relatively quick manner (~30 to 50 years) that it is going to be very difficult to adapt current agricultural activities.

Seriously, folks quit prattling off about what you have no virtually nothing about get educated. A good place to start is RealClimate (http://www.realclimate.org). It is a blog written by actual climate scientists with excellent discussion. The posts can be thick with science but stick with it and you’ll get the picture. Not to mention that the quickly disseminate and debunk all the garbage put out there.

Again, folks, please please take some time and get educated on the issue. Quit reading the claptrap in the papers that have an unclear bias (either way). Go to the sources…. why people are so skeptical of real science is beyond me. That’s not how science works.

Feel free to email me w/ any specific questions I’ll be happy to point you to more resources or answer any questions that I’m qualified to.

Question: Why are you here again? This is a celebrity website and certainly sounds like you need to be on another site. Bottom-line is everyone needs to be more aware of what we should and shouldn’t be doing when it comes to preserving the earth. You go a head continue try to steer people clear from trying to clean up our environment, not sure what selfish reason you may have for that? However, isn’t there something interesting on Fox News right about now?

It’s not Brad Pitt who is full of ****, it’s DiCaprio. He does all of this to improve his image that was ruined during his wild boy years in the 90s. Everyone seems to have forgotten about it and now he is celebrated as the new celeb hero. Vomit!

So agree penny , he does so much for the environment

Leo ISN`T fat… what a bullshit!!!

Question: Why are you here again?

Uh, because I enjoy reading JJ?

Maybe the more appropriate question would be: “Why am I commenting on AGW here??

I’m responding to the false information presented in several previous comments. Celeb blog? Yes. A story about a concert raising awareness of AGW where false information is being disseminated is a perfectly legitimate place to enjoin the conversation…on topic.

Would my comment have been more legitimate had i started with something like: “Gawwwwd I can’t tell you how much I love Leo! I met him once when he was campaigning with Kerry and had a short discussion on Global Warming! It was so surreal!!1!!”

That mo betta? My apologies to offend your sensibilities as to what is considered topical conversation. I will make an effort to keep my comments from here on out completely superficial and as to the…um.. the, err…well clothing, nose-job, or shopping trip of current celeb d’jour.

Cheers

Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear”

This book has been thoroughly discredited and debunked by the scientific community. By those that are actually doing the research.

Crichton has no scientific credentials, has never published any peer reviewed research on the issue. All real science goes through vigorous peer review. His suggestions and conclusions violate just about tenet of the scientific method. He a science hack.

He achieves his results the same way that most dissenters do. They cherry pick data that fit their own pre-conceived conclusions. You cannot take individual points of a graph and say “See, these people publishing this are crazy!” This is not how science works. Scientists don’t make moral judgments (in their research). Sure they can tell what they think that their scientific results may “mean” but it is opinion. The scientific method has nothing to do with opinion. Only observational data that is used to build predictive models that incorporate a percentage of probability.

I always encourage people to get information from multiple sources, but please pay close attention to those sources. Crichton has no scientific credibility.

I created the Internet and I made up Global Warming shortly after that. I now rest, fatass that I am.
