We lived on Pangia a while ago and I don't remember it looking like this.

so the continents move together then apart over and over in a cycle that lasts hundreds of millions of years. but none of the global warming numb nuts can figure out that climate change is just another feature of the earth's many cyclical changes that happen over a longer time than we have been here, or have kept temperature records. al gore is an idiot and a charlatan, but he had to make a living some how after the whole president thing didn't work out. sorry rant over. great clip gdanea! 😊

Patty, you mean to tell me that Earth has gone through climate change time and time again???? If so then do you think dino-farts started the last warming cycle? All that roughage creating all that natural gas.

Note: that should be numb-nuts

you are right about not equating the man with the message dumbfounded. this issue has become too politicised. not all of the scientific community is on the same side of the issue, but only one side gets press. it is not politically correct to not be totally on board with global warming so opposition is quashed, cowed into silence, vilified as right wing crazies, or buried. i believe we have some effect on the planet, but i also believe planetary cycles are longer than we can track and that she heals herself. we can hurt her, but we aren't nearly big and bad enogh to distroy her. many have come and gone before us and we won't be the last either. gates is a rich nerd and he didn't make his money with fear mongering and 'do as i say not as i do' tactics.(i really can't stand gore)
