I certainly don't know "real" facts, or what's gonna happen, but I don't believe anybody does... not really. All of a sudden everyone thinks the sky is gonna fall because of global warming. In the 70s, which is not that long ago, people thought the sky would fall because of global cooling!

I feel better knowing George Carlin says we'll be alright.

I do agree that our climate is changing. I've lived in Western Michigan all my life and the winters are much milder than they were 50 years ago.

Where I disagree is it is not proven that we humans are causing the change in the climate. I've heard that we are responsible for 3 to 4 percent of the greenhouse gasses. Our impact is actually very very small.

Should we drive fuel efficient and non polluting cars? Of course. Should we not devastate the rain forest and chop down trees for more malls and parking lots? Of course. Will these measures correct or change our climate? That is not proven.

Al Gore (like all political hacks) needs a soapbox on which to speak. The theory and solutions he proposes, he proposes for everyone while exempting himself. Where are the scientists and their predictions if we all walk to work and go to bed at sunset? If we reduce our greenhouse gasses by 50 percent what are they and Al Gore predicting the impact will be on the climate. The silence is deafening.

Remember, if a politician's lips are moving, he is probably not telling the truth.

Two words, lahawk . . . political gain.

That's really all any politician is interested in. Oh, and re-election.

Maybe watching "Thank You For Smoking" will help shed some light on how politicians and multi-nationals deal with issues.

Political Gain?

All of these 1000's of scientists from around the world are running for office?

It's not that I doubt the scientists themselves, though there are plenty of other scientists who'll support the opposing view. My gripe is with the politicos who'll kick this particular political football about till we're all thoroughly sick and tired of it (aren't many of us already there?), and go broke shoring up their rhetoric via ever-increaing taxes, levies, etc., while the plebs of this planet eventually wither away through apathy.
