Best global climate change instructional videos I have seen. I need videos on Arctic climate change feed backs. Please contact me petercarter46@shaw.ca
One comment I have on this: the half-of-greenland, half-of-west-Antarctica comment, while technically correct, is one of the (legitimate) points of criticism leveled at Gore's movie - the reason being that Gore placed it in the context of the IPCC's 2100 projections, whereas this is unlikely to happen for several hundreds of years. Personally, I would make a point of making that clear, because otherwise you leave yourself open to potential criticism by climate skeptics.
@rudidas89 It comes up every so often. I haven't actually seen Gore's movie yet (I've been trying to stay away from most blogs and popular media because the reporting is often extremely biased and unreliable), but this is one of the points most frequently criticized by the climate skeptics I'm in discussion with. And it's one I tend to agree with to some extent; while Gore never actually says something that is untrue, the context and his phrasing are a bit misleading.
(And to clarify, if it seems weird that I'd know that when I haven't seen the movie, I have seen the few minutes in which he discusses this point in a few skeptical videos - as well as a presentation where he does the same thing)
@rudidas89 Nothing in here that's immediately obvious, but there's one thing I'll comment on for the first vid (give me a few minutes). I am missing one important climate change related issue: ocean acidification.

@werecow2003 Thanks, I had looked through the criticism of Gore's movie, but didn't see that. Good you mentioned it though :)

@werecow2003 I see, I see. Any other points that you've seen in this video?
