I have a very serious question for the scientists among us.

I know a contingent of people who want us to figure out how to use water and solar power to create fuel. (That is seriously simplified and paraphrased description, but gets the point across.)

Leaving aside feasibility arguments, I am trying to figure out how they can believe something like that would not "upset" earth's balance. I mean, if we are pumping the waste into the air and depleting water sources, wouldn't that cause the earth to get messed up?

It just seems like environmentalists are completely devoted to this balance idea, but negate potential side effects from ANY wide spread use of any fuel. Does someone have a short explanation of why this wouldn't upset "earth's balance" and explain to me exactly when that balance was perfect??

Ok, back to read the article.

Gorey . . I like the word.

I Predict globul warming will intensify in the next 4 months,then drop off to a managable level after Nov 2nd only to return worse than ever mid summer of 2008.....

A specific example of this is Gore’s acknowledgement that 30 percent of global CO2 emissions come from wood fires used for cooking (p. 227).

Which has zero net effect on CO2 content in the atmosphere.

All the CO2 released to the atmosphere when wood either burns or decays was taken out of the atmosphere when the tree grew.

BIG BTTT!!

In fact, the vast majority of abstracts does (sic) not mention . . .

No "(sic)" needed. The grammar is correct. "The vast majority ... does not ..."

Now let's not go spoiling Gore's campaign film. He is so proud of it. :)

Take a look at the chart here of global temperatures over the last 425,000 years. Even to my non-scientific eye, it looks like a cycle to me.

21. Population. Al Gore worries about population growth; Gore does not suggest a solution.

This fact infuriates me: Al Gore has 4 children! There is nothing more stressful on the Earth, with unlimited future compound damage, than making multiple copies of yourself. He's behaving like there's going to be a technological solution to climate control and that global warming is just another doomsday cult.
