I have yet to see this now award-nominated piece of film.
Is it truth? How does one measure truth?
How hot is warm? How hot is Al Gore?
I have included some screen shots which I am to understand do not entirely spoil the plot.

I've spent my entire life fighting global warming
look at this cute CGI polar bear drown
I'm Al Gore
I'm so self-important and a terrible spokesperson for an otherwise good cause
how very edgy
also the movie is essentially propagandized truths and half-truths

But man, hasn't the ozone layer been repairing itself over the years? I heard on the news that the hole has actually decreased as time has passed by.
The movie is actually pretty much all true.
Its sort of better since CFCs were banned in a lot of places. Developing countries still use them though because they're the cheapest way to run coolant systems like fridges, and not dying from rancid meat poisoning is more important to them right now than skin cancer in 20 years. So there's still a fair amount of new emissions entering the system. Main problem is though that the molecules of CFC take years and years (decade, really) to break down, so there's a long lag time between stopping their use and things improving. Things'll keep getting better slowly, and more so once the DC's get rich enough to switch to other coolants.
Oh, and the ozone layer has nothing to do with climate change. Totally separate issue.
Just tossin' around an idea.
that's what Ice Ages result from.
not totally true
if you compare the amount of co2 from an eruption to what is put out by people (cars, whatever) people win

what about the smoke, fire, and... brimstone? What? And CFCs, and carbon dioxide, and other chemicals that millions, no, billions of people and animals put out continuously, every single day, for the decades in between eruptions?
We put out more fumes a day than all the volcanoes in history.

Not quite, but its the fact that what we put out is extra-on-top-of-normal that's the problem
wait, i came in here for cocks, dicks, and lol. what happened?
ozone killed my family
Maybe this Global Warming business is legit.
EDIT: :V
I'm in the middle of the second major snowstorm in three days.
I can't wait until we can have Christmas at the lake.
And I'm all, "Yeah, it's pretty ni-WAIT ONE FUCKING SECOND IT'S JANUARY!"
OH SHI-
See, it's true that animals (including humans of course) exhale CO2 as a waste product all the time. So yes, humans are exhaling huge amounts of CO2, oh noes why worry about vehicles when they produce a fraction of the CO2, right?
Wrong. The chink in that chain of logic is that the CO2 produced by us and other animals is a waste product of the Krebs cycle whereby carbohydrates (so called because they are carbon chains that are used to store energy) are converted in respiration into energy with water and CO2 being the products of the process. Now, these carbohydrates, even if we are getting them from meat, ultimately originate from plants as a result of photosynthesis whereby CO2 is stripped of its carbon so that carbohydrates can be formed to store the energy from photosynthesis which animals later eat. So when we exhale CO2, all we're really doing is sending carbon that's already cycling through the environment back into a usable form for plants to use again.
With the burning of fossil fuels, the important difference is that we're taking carbohydrates (the oil) that have been essentially sequestered underground for thousands to millions of years and suddenly releasing that extra CO2 into the environment, tipping the balance out of whack in a way that animal respiration does not.
also cows produce methane
Also I am crazy tired holy fuck working in a kitchen is tiring
