[Paradox]

For non-believers, it's hard to accept that their cherished lifestyles — the indulgent, energy-wasting ways of life passed down by their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents — could be destroying the world that they love. Taking responsibility and moving toward change would be like admitting guilt (and, for big business, losing money), so they deny and deny some more — grasping for any alternative theory to explain away obvious climate change.

As a GW believer, this statement is CRAP, and one of the problems with this entire argument. WE CAN have it all. All the energy we need, and STILL be "good" about CO2 emissions. Sure, there will be a transitional period, but so what? Thats what we Americans are good at, ADAPTING! Lets go Nuclear, lets use Renewable Fuels. Lets let good ole American Know-How, and Can-Do, do its magic.

All I see from BOTH sides is that awful pessimism about it.

There are ways to "fix" things, and they would be GOOD for the USA, even if GW turned out to be wrong.

As for Al Gore, he can kiss my ash..

Nuclear power is the way to go. We need nuclear not because of the Global Warming Hoax but because it is cheaper and renewable.
