Great post. I am agnostic on the issue. It may be that man does have some effect on the plant. To what extent, even the most brilliant scientists do not really know.

It is a good thing to increase fuel mileage and use less fuel. It is a good thing to individually try to do things to lessen our impact on the planet. That having been said, Algore is out of his freaking mind. And I refuse to take the advice of a hypocritical SOB who gives a stirring global warming speech at the Sierra Club Summit and then gets driven to the airport by his chauffeur in a Cadillac Escalade, the most powerful SUV on the planet.

Regardless, one way or another, warm or cold, a simple, more pressing problem goes unaddressed.

Drainage!

Most of our "flooding" is directly related to how we "develop" land.

Every square inch converted to human use created many times that much more loss of water absorbency.

Simple mandated adaption, caverns under parking lots, etc., already in use in some places, could prevent the growing flood effect much cheaper than the tax burden of clean-up.

Does anyone know how Weird Al responds at his slide presentations if he is asked about solar activity's influence on the Earth's climate?

Prof. Paul Reiter of the Institut Pasteur in Paris described the movie as "pure, mind-bending propaganda." "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak they are pathetic...

I do not see Dean Baquet nor Bill Keller publishing this. Do the People not have the right to know?

yes - the world is "warmer than it has been in 400 years!"

Well, just damn, If all those SUV drivers had been stopped back then and the politicos had instituted Kyoto 400 years ago, we wouldn't be going through another of nature's cycles now. /double s

One freeper on another thread posited to the effect, "There were not many humans or SUVs when the great Ice Age abated and glaciers receded from as far south as Ohio."

That in itself is more than logical to explain algore is a total moron...and that's an insult to morons!

One wonders why people would want to believe this crap? Not just those who want to grab power, those that have substituted socialsim with environmentalism, but you've got to be a freaking idiot to ignore the facts.

I wonder if the global warming people knew that the temperature was going to rise over a period of time, as it does in the earth's normal cycles.

Then, armed with their knowledge of "global warming," they rushed to put the blame on Western civilization and to use guilt and scare tactics to get everyone stirred up about something that would have occurred naturally anyway.

Funny, we said the same thing when he was running for President and again when he was trying to steal the election in Floridah.

I liked what Bush said he wants to do about 'global warming':

1. Start building nuclear power plants again

2. Exploit our own resources here, rather than importing

3. Encourage research into alternative forms of energy.

It "represented a unanimous decision that global warming is real, is getting worse, and is due to man," said CNN reporter Michelle Mitchell. "There is no wiggle room."

It must be true! La Michele (one "l") has pronounced it so!

<< "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak they are pathetic... >>

What else to expect from Al-Fredo Goreleone, the world's once most dangerous dullard? Who is now, thank God, reduced to yawn-making irrelevancy,

Oops...the truth trumps the lies yet again...except all of those MSM reports won't be corrected, I'll wager.

I can state with absolute certainty that I am warmer now than I was 20 years ago.

Never mind that I relocated from Eastern Washington to Central California.

I love this global warming.
