"Your an idiot!" - ah, spoken like a true idiot...

"vast majority of the scientific community are in agreement" - yep, just like they were in the '70s and '80s when this selfsame "vast majority" were telling us an Ice Age was coming. Now the very same people are telling us we are gonna fry - only an idiot would believe such rubbish...

@th3giv3r Of course we don't have the actual proof. We have qualified professionals with the hard data.

We'll see? So despite the evidence you prefer to just sit back and see what happens?

Changes in policies (regulation, taxation, etc.) would HELP or economy and would be an INVESTMENT in the health and well being of our future generations. It is irrational to follow the "business-as-usual" path when we know that continuing to use the atmosphere as an endless sewer is harmful.

@ReduceGHGs I don't have the actual proof, but something tells me neither do you, so all I have to say is, we'll see... but the legislation being proposed in this hearing is much more immediately damaging to humans than what you suggest.

The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through all kinds of things worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles…hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worlwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages…And we think some plastic bags, and some aluminum cans are going to...

Here's an Incontinent Truth for climate change deniers and Gore bashers.

Gore has been telling us what the scientists have been saying for over 30 years. EVERY ONE of our respected scientific institutions concur; HUMANS warm the planet. Conspiracy nuts and vested interests say it's a hoax. Funny but they don't offer credible evidence in support of that claim.

Will we have time to respond to the crisis before it’s too late? Will we ACT given the potential consequences?

We can only try.
