Al Gore is hardly my god, but he did earn a healthy respect from me during the Inconvenient Truth presentation training. He is honest and very well-informed. By the time I saw his movie, there was nothing new in there for me. I had already reviewed the science, and then I double-checked his movie with realclimate.org, and it was essentially correct. Why do I call those who deny the science of climate change, deniers? Because that is what you are. You are not sceptical; you refuse to accept science. That's a denier.

It's your with us or against us attitude that is somewhat off putting. You claim you were, at one time, a skeptic and now you have seen the light and al Gore is your high priest. Of late Global warming has been renamed climate change due to a distinct cooling over the last few years, that the warmers are at a loss to explain. Now maybe we're warming and maybe we're cooling but Al Gore and his wall street buddies are set to make a serious killing from carbon futures trading which leads one to believe that his environmental evangelism is atouch biased toward ensuring we all see things his way or the way of the warmers. The fact is it's all supposition at the end of the day and will dependon who can be the most convincing. if it wasn't for the fact that Gore is a moron, and the proof of that is legion having suggested we get down to a negative carbon emission situation which would mean we would all have to stop every single activity on the planet including breathing given we all exhale 2 tons of Co2 each and every year. Gores interest is clear and if can convince the whole world to see it his way then he's quids in, as we say in England. You have read a fewbooks on he subject but that doesn't make you an expert no more than Gore with his various companies champing at the bit to exploit the taxing of the air we breath. I don't know one way or another if co2 is the demon it's made out to be but I do know that the last time the planet warmed up we grew wine as far north as Yorkshire and the forests and agriculture never had it so good. granted their are more people in the world than there were back in the middle ages but if our vegetation thrives then so will our food supply and the starving millions can be fed rather than bumped off ala the plan from the Club of Rome and Sir Maurice Strong or Green finger as his Bond style bad guy image would describe him. A man at the helm of this green movement and global warming campaign and a fugitive from justice hidingout in China. Not very promising as role models and the kind of people to put ones faith in. He by the way is Gores boss . A bit more skepticism and less religious fervor might be more appropriate at this stage of the game. Vested interest groups are not the best people to take advice from. Pause for concern, take a breath, while it's still free, and think it through some more. That would be the real thing to do.
