Stop attributing conclusions, to me, that I don't make. I pointed out no such thing. Nor made any such conclusions.

So it's only 'one-sided'
Yes, it's one-sided.
now, very different to the conspiracy theory position of dissenting opinion being ignored.
Why do you keep relying on the use of 'conspiracy theory' and 'CT's' to smear so many points, as if any thinking person is still impressed? Any layman knows the hysteria surrounding GW was overwhelming. That skeptical views, about Global Warming, are reaching a wider audience, is partly due to the efforts of people you keep disparaging.
I hardly think a trip to your local cinema once every two years is where the high numbers of viewers are reached and opinion swayed, it's the internet & documentaries on TV.
There you go again distorting my views. I'm well aware of where audiences can be reached but I specifically asked about balance within Hollywood. Trying to underplay its impact by ignoring millions of people who watch films at home, is 'disinfo'.
Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth' had a total of around 2.5 million cinema viewings in 5 months, contrast that with documentary/films like 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' which had 2.5 million viewers when it premiered on UK's Channel 4 in one night. Granted there's then esteem attached to a Hollywood movie etc, but it's not the be all.
So when I specifically focus on Hollywood, you response is a TV documentary? No mention of 'An Inconvenient Truth' being used to brainwash millions of schoolchildren and you've 'cherry-picked' a 5 month time frame, to arrive at parity. I have to hand it to you. When it comes to 'constant deceit' you are an expert.
For example, 'Not Evil Just Wrong' the debunking of Inconvenient Truth had: "more than 400,000 Americans helped make the launch the largest simultaneous film premiere in U.S. history, airing on more than 7,000 screens in all 50 states."
If you even believe the marketing blurb from the producers, that's the estimated population of Phuket.
Others like these 'Zeitgeist' films, which include climate change conspiracies, have free internet showings on release and receive 4 million viewings on the first night, and apparently have had over 100 million global viewings.
The Zeitgeist films are a conspiracist wet dream and yet you cite them? You haven't watched them, have you? There is no mention of global warming in the first film. No mention of global warming in the 2nd film. While they present only a superficial covering of climate change in the 3rd, amongst a host of other subject matter. No-one could seriously present it as a counter to the GW frenzy.
Do you actually have anything substantial to offer?
The major TV news stations and printed newspapers have covered the dissenting voices and then some.
'And then some'? Ok. Using your own example let's take a look at one of the 'The major TV news stations'. You are a master of search. Search the online BBC News site for 'Not Evil Just Wrong'. How many hits for the Film?
ZERO. Now compare that with 'An Inconvenient Truth'.
They sure have 'covered the dissenting voices'.
'and then some'.
Ok. Forget the 'British Brainwashing Corporation', how about online? Wikipedia (a prominent online source of info). 'An Inconvenient Truth' rakes in $49 million, gets shown around the world, is mandated to be taught in schools and St Al of Gore gets a Nobel. Nice. How about your example..'Not Evil Just Wrong'?...
'The film failed to find a commercial distributor''.
One-sided?
'and then some'.
Re: Hollywood not hosting 'anti-elite' productions, 'Inconvenient Truth' was the 6th highest grossing documentary film of all time... 1st highest grossing with 500% more, was 'Fahrenheit 9/11'
This is poor from you. With you living and breathing 'conspiracy theories' and 'CT's' coming out of your ears, you would know that no movie gets mass media coverage unless it is serving a purpose. To suggest these films are 'anti-elite' is just ignorance.
It's only 'illogical' because you've deliberately misquoted what I said, no political will (in the U.S.), and 'countries introducing measures' were in two different sentences with a full stop between them, LOL.
Juvenile 'LOL's or 'making stuff up' might fool 'astute'-worshippers but it won't hide the fact that I used TWO quotes, to highlight what was an apparent contradiction. Why didn't you just clarify you meant the U.S., without the silliness?
And this is the very point of where your theory has fallen over, while there was no political will in the U.S. to introduce cap-and-trade legislation, other countries have been introducing measures leaving the U.S. 'elite' behind.
Which U.S. 'elite'? I keep telling you there are different factions.
...That elite criminal syndicates like the banksters were behind it all, they selected the President, Rep & Dem politicians who all serve these masters, the media were going to silence dissenting voices and carbon taxes would be introduced. The Rockefeller's were steering the ship and any of us who could not see this obvious conspiracy were 'dumbed down, easily fooled sheeple'.
There is too much here to address, in one post. If you feel you are a 'dumbed down, easily fooled sheep' I won't argue.
The outcome...
1) As we saw mainstream media did the opposite of silencing dissenting voices, with many actually championing them.
And David Bellamy returned to our TV screens, when exactly?
2) The only member of the Rockefeller family serving in Government (in position of influence as Chairman of Senate Committee on Commerce & Science), personally introduced a bill to... 'suspend any EPA action under the Clean Air Act with respect to carbon dioxide or methane'.
He suspended it. He did not stop it. And you don't have to be in office to influence government. Read Rockefeller's memoirs.
3) The infamous carbon tax legislation came before the house & got soundly rejected by these hand-picked servants. It was a political decision, nothing else.
Political decisions are made for a reason. This comment is meaningless unless you provide the reasons. For instance.
"The Government Accountability Office (GAO) claims it's virtually impossible to verify whether carbon offsets represent real emissions reductions."
Thus opening the door for unsubstantiated claims and massive fraud.
So much for the science being 'settled'.
So how are the % meaningless, and what logic is there behind taking the 3% position?
Why aren't you understanding this? It's very simple. As long as money, whether it comes from lefties, righties or upside-downies, corrupts science, there can be no confidence in the science. Arguing over %'s is therefore MEANINGLESS.
3 years mind, CT's had a good run out of this one.
They certainly did. They helped expose 'Climategate'. They worked hard to raise awareness of criminality and vested interest, such as at the Chicago Climate Exchange, the IPCC and the activities of politicians like Gore, who's lifestyles are utter hypocrisy, and they should be saluted for doing the job the mainstream media refused to do. That you choose to constantly mock them, says more about your character than theirs. It always has.
