This guy is getting the leaders of oil producing nations to pay him 125 thousand a hit for speechs to their elite and he sells his enviromental books to people who are anti-oil.

I saw NOTHING wrong with this. I think the evidence is clear. Global warming is happening and the consequences are dire. Anything anyone can do to wake up the world is a positive thing. Get off Gore's back! The man is trying to do something positive here! Hey…

I have said before when this fun topic has come up.....that even though I don't believe it's anymore than Nature taking it's couse(one it has taken many times in the past), thats no reason not to do all we can reasonably do to clean up our planet, and make our presense more low impact. Kyoto was and is a pipe dream, all of the European nations that signed it are freaking out because they won't be able to meet the first levels of compliance, and most of those countries have far stronger enviromental rules and policy's than we do. But as long as you exempt the most polluting parts of the world for whatever reason, nothing will change. If every car, truck and airplane were outlawed all over the world tomoorw it still would only reduce co2 by 0.05 %. We don't as a fact, know how warm the past warming's were, just because some core samples from Anartica say there was less of certain gasess in the air trapped in the ice, they base the theroy that this warming is faster or more severe. My God, most of the northern hemisphere's were covered in ice only 40,000 years ago......it took some big time warming to reduce that area to what it was 5000 years ago. Man is an arrogant breed, we think it all starts and ends with us. Sorry, we are just a most prolific species, and one that will go by the wayside as nature takes it's course, like all the others before us. Global warming won't be stopped, and most likely can't be slowed. All we can do is try to live more in harmony with nature for the few thousand years we may have left as the Earths dominant species.

We also do know that carbon dioxide and water vapor are major green house gases. We also know that a single major volcanic eruption puts more of both of those gases into the atmosphere in a few days then man does in several years. With that said I'm all for cleaning up our environmental impact and believe we have a responsibility in doing so but the facts should be stated and not our conclusions based on 100 years of meteorological data. There are thousands of geologists out there that can give you the cold hard facts about the Earths heating and cooling cycles you need those facts before you jump to conclusions.

All this hot air couses Global Warming. It's probably happening - deal with it. However deal with it WITHOUT sacrificing standard of living. Big trucks/SUVs, freeways, urban sprawl, lot of driving, big houses spread apart on large lots are ESSENTIAL to life. Without those minumums there's no reason for Earth to continue to exist. Therefore, any "solution" to Global Warming is unnaceptable if it involves sacrificing any of the above. We either all die or we don't, but in either case, lifestyle does NOT change - therefore don't worry about Global Warming. Carry on and have a nice day. Blah, blah, blah.

Both global warming ( carbon cycle topic in geography/general science) and evolution surprisingly made sense to me even at that time and I still beleive they are real. I came to canada few years ago and I still cant understand why people here cant figure that out. USA is supposed to be a developed country with hight litreacy rates and full of educated people but it fseems they are allergic to every little thing and argument that expects them to change their lifestyle or thinking. Dubya exaggerated terrorism threat post 9/11 and got away with lot of BS so I guess if you need to do something in this country and grab people's attention, you have to exaggerate things and if Gore or any other scientinst is doing this just to protect our planet and not exxons cause than I really dont mind it. Also If america cant find a better pres than Dubya than thats more serious than global warming I read about about global warming when I was in 8th grade of school in a developing country.

Al Gore can't be trusted on anything. Take a look at Earth in the Balance. In there, there is a chart of some sort, and he projects future numbers. It was a sine wave, that gets bigger and bigger. How would you project this? Most sane people would chart the crests. Al Gore decided to follow the last slope like the infamous hockey stick.

Don't get me wrong, environmentalists that debate the actual scientific facts are worthy of my respect, regardless of whether I agree with their conclusions. But if a scientific fact actually entered Al Gore's brain, it would die of loneliness. Sorry folks, but I read his "Earth in a Balance" and that "factual" book was filled cover to cover with lies and misconceptions. If you want fairy tales, read Grim's, it's more entertaining.
