Al Gore should certainly have a central role regarding climate change policy.

Gore at the table does not mean he is the only one. It is so obvious those that hates Obama thinks he only have Gore.

Obama at least willing to put people at the table to have a discussion, unlike the special interest run candidates who will only put Oil companies and power companies at the table.

Dear Jackmillion, Please take a minute to reflect on it from this perspective. The country that develops new clean energy before the others is tomorrow's superpower and is also a hero for preserving the planet. However, if the same country chooses to obtain our planet's oil by any means (war), things will get worse for everyone: more international hate (terrorism), unnecessary destruction, pollution and American infrastructures will crumble from the inside to pay for it all. Think about it.

Yes. If by blind you mean intelligent, informed & inspiring - and that's only the 'i's.

First, I'm a conservative. Second, I'm a scientist who understands the evidence - that's why I'm passionate. Scientists have made up their mind- there is a categorical exponential trend of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide content coupled with an increasing global temperature. Simple. Read a book.

And another thing...your IPCC doesn't impress me. I don't care about intergovernmental anything. That's just one step closer to the US losing its sovereignty to the UN or some other socialist type government like there is throughout Europe. And by the way...my pencil does enjoy opera.

[Quantanthead]

You've just proven my point. You...a liberal...socialist...or whatever you may call yourself getting all offended, sticking up for global warming and then name calling. Those are true signs of a liberal no matter where you are from. You probably are a climatologist for the UN. Seems scientists were worried about global cooling in the 1970's and 1990s. So which one is it? If so called scientists can't make up their mind, it's not something I would buy in to. Which way is the wind blowing today?

[simonpjhall]

Yeah, well done. Global Warming is a liberal agenda about as much as a pencil enjoys opera. Global warming has been confirmed by evidence collected by scientists all over the world. Ever heard of the IPCC? The 'I' stands for 'Intergovernmental'. Global warming isn't restricted to your colloquial US politics you idiot.
