The latest Greenie propaganda from Hollywood

GREENIE WATCH

What Hollywood won't tell you follows the excerpt below

Carteret Islanders have been called the world's first climate refugees. Their homeland, a remote chain of six small islands in the South Pacific, is fast losing ground to rising sea levels. The 1,000 or so people whose families have lived there for dozens of generations have made an agonizing decision to relocate their entire community before it disappears beneath the rising waves.

In June of 2008, filmmakers Jennifer Redfearn and Tim Metzger learned of the refugees' plight and headed to the Carteret Islands, video equipment in tow, hoping to share their story with the world. Their documentary, "Sun Come Up," was released last year. Sunday night, it’s up for an Academy Award in the best documentary short category.

Redfearn has a background in environment studies, a journalism degree from Columbia University, and had worked on several television series, but "Sun Come Up" is her debut film. She first heard about the Carteret Islanders from a forwarded humanitarian e-mail alert; after reading about them, she could focus on little else. Three months after receiving the e-mail, Redfearn and filmmaking partner Metzger landed in the South Pacific and started shooting. They weren't sure what to expect, but they had been encouraged to come by Ursula Rakova, the head of the Carteret relocation program.

They were well received, and the islanders were, according to Redfearn, "really generous with their time and sharing their stories." They were well aware of why their islands were shrinking and the global issues behind the local changes. "When they first started to witness changes, they didn't know why," Redfearn explains. "But Ursula was born on the Carteret Islands and has traveled abroad to get her education, so she has become aware of what's happening internationally. She taught the community about the science."

The filmmakers didn't find the islanders to be helpless or angry. "More than anything else," Redfearn says, "there's a great feeling of uncertainty." The island's elders would prefer to stay, despite the risks. They grew up there, spent their whole lives there, and "have no interest in moving and adapting to a new society or culture." But the younger generations are looking at things differently. "They're looking ahead at how to rebuild their community somewhere else."

Now for some facts:

The Carteret Islands are coral atolls that have been damaged by the indigenous fishing industry. Homemade Ammonium Nitrate bomblets, used to stun fish for easy "harvesting" (by lazy fishermen) had the unintended effect of breaking up the surrounding Coral beds, which are the foundation of the "islands."

Once blasted, the Coral is destroyed and can't recover. The underpinning of the remaining land is then impaired and "duh," the islands begin to sink. Some depletion of the fresh water aquifer may also contribute to the sinking. The region is also tectonically active and subsiding land is a real possibility.

Of course, the Sea-Level is being blamed, but a quick look at NASA's Jason satellite data shows that Sea-Level has outright FLATLINED since January 2004 to the present (Flatlined = ZERO rise) within a 20mm ± zone!!!

The whole movie is simply environmental "spin."

we're all gonna DIE!!!

So, there was no correlation with MMGW? Shocking.

Maybe they all had a picnic on one side of the island to cause it to tilt into the ocean ...

Well, if there is or isn't, who cares?? Mankind has no influence one way or another.....

kinda puts it in perspective, ya think??

big assed freeking sun, major physics going on out there, just a crazy huge place,

and a very small one what with all them electrons and particles of whatever floating around....

Shut down the EPA, hard and fast, whole bunch of cry baby weenies on the streets, if they gather in the west Texas deserts, they can cry enough to irrigate the joint....

hell yeah! those farmers down there in Fla could dump all the ammonium nitrate they want into your waters.who's gonna stop em?? those corral reefs would make good trash dumps after that. maybe the next Valdez will be in your backyard. you could go into the tar ball business. you would fit right in in Somalia.

What YOU know about tar balls fills maybe one of them.....

I have personal experiences with them, and i't snot any big deal....really it isn't....

and then there is the natural seepage happening.....ever been through West Texas on the ground...say follow I 20 west outta Forth Worthless....???

seen the oil fields, and actually visited the oil field museum where you can learn the TRUTH??

no bet NOT, you just listen to some green weenie site, that knows from NOTHING....



Oh as for farming, I"m all for it.....rather eat cheeper food than starve or have to kill all those useless inner city residents on food riots.....

somebody's been listening to Rush.- "oil leaking into the environment is a natural thing.it happens all over the world." and [speaking of Texas] Gov. Good Hair.- "the BP spill was an act of God."
