Гор против анти-Гора

Я уже где-то писал про фильм The Great Global Warming Swindle. Писал ли в своем ЖЖ? Уже не помню - multitasking сказывается. В самом разгильдяйском советском стиле не приступал к заявленной на конференцию в Коста Рике теме до дедлайна, а последние десять дней у компьютера просидел, домой только поспать приходил. Но вроде все интересно получилось - завтра нафиг дописываю манускрипт.

Решил студентам нашего курса по Earth System Science дать оба фильма, Гора и анти-Гора, на просмотр, а потом дискуссию организовать - по идее, после двадцати кредитов они должны быть способны обсуждать представленные точки зрения. Должно быть забавно.

That sounds really interesting.

Do you think it is too much controversy for the american audience?

What, in graduate school? Nah. By the way, did you watch Gore's testimony in the House and Senate? It was really interesting. He didn't talk about the science at all, so you can stop laughing about that, but instead he talked about his ideas for slowing down the problem and managing it.

Are you going to Costa Rica alone or with Mom?

Which reminds me of Gorbachov speech in Depauw University - it was really good, he did not pretend to be a scientist, but presented the problem as a political one.

I really don't know yet on my travelling alone or together: may be she will like to go to Russia instead. I think we will decide when we meet next week. BTW, we will have family reunion if you come - it's just a 1.5 hours flight for you after all.
