An exciting thought-provoking TV program


Posted: Apr 22, 2012

Have you seen the PBS special: Earth: The Owner's Manual? Here is link http://video.pbs.org/video/1855661681 If you don't have time to watch the whole thing, skip ahead to about 22:00 minute time stamp and watch through the explanation of fossil fuels and carbon dioxide. The chart showing the natural cycles of carbon dioxide fluctuation and then with the advent of man-made carbon dioxide just blew me away. For those who worry that watching a liberal broadcast like public television may contaminate the purity of their thinking, the narrator scientist identifies himself as a Republican Christian churchgoer. ;

PBS is a taxpayer-funded liberal media, - so anything from them has a liberal slant to it.

Thanks for sharing the link. Sounds interesting. However, anyone can identify themselves as being someone they're not. I'd like to research his background before taking his word for anything.

Federal funding is responsible for less than 20% of the PBS budget - not to mention the fact that liberals and nonliberals alike are taxpayers.

But why is it hard to believe that a conservative or a churchgoer would believe in climate change? It's science, it's not a political notion.

It strikes me as odd that you would research a - GOP Christian churchgoer

instead of the mountains of data examining the impact of man-made CO2, considering the long-term consequences for our planet if we get this wrong. It's not ALWAYS about bottom-line corporate profits and stockholders' earnings for heaven's sake.

Makes sense to check a source before accepting what they say at face value, - pr

Just Watched A Good Program This Morning. Did Anyone Else See It?Apr 03, 2011
It was probably on last night and repeated this morning.  It was called "Freeloading" by John Stossel on the network some on this board hate to have mentioned. I wish they would repeat this program as it was very interesting.  I did miss the first 10 minutes of it but what I did see was eye-opening, even though I knew about some of the government programs he talked about, but didn't know the background of the people who receive them.  I would recommend everyone watch it if i ...

It airs late at night on TBN.  I mean like at 2 or 3 a.m.  It's about a modern-day Jesus who is kind of a drifter who basically meets up with people who have lost faith or don't believe and spends a few days with them debating religion and the Bible, and then when he has he has gotten through to them, he moves on.  Only then does the person or persons know that they have been visited by Jesus.  The two episodes of I have seen, one took place in an airport where a gi ...

Do You Think Penn State Football Program Should Get The Death Penalty?Jul 16, 2012
Haven't made up my mind.  I see both sides of the argument.  First of all, so very many people will suffer who had nothing to do with the child sex abuse cover-up.  In reading arguments for and against, perhaps it is true that the persons responsible and or involved in any way should be fired, jailed, labeled as sex offenders, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP, and the football program should remain intact, as it is not fair to punish the ...

A top Russian official sanctioned by President Obama in the wake of the Ukraine crisis is playing a key role in the Pentagon's space program, and thereby continuing to benefit from a lucrative no-bid contract that th ...
