A Bright Future for Some

he's not trying to remove affordable energy just raise awareness of its effects and inform us about cleaner renewable energy as opposed to dirty coal that increases greenhouse gases.

this is an attack on Gore and not on his cause ... very petty, libertarians

Oh come on.
This is making such bold claims that can't be supported. Showing images of babies, school children and people living in poverty just to tug at the heartstrings isn't enough to make the argument valid. Al Gore is not being selfish and hypocritical, if we don't help stop (or as much as we can do) global warming, then no one will be well off.

Haha, you guys crack me up.

Sources of data plz. I don't get what's being argued here; is it that the quantity of CO2 is insignificant or is it that even if it is, there's a natural global warming occurring anyway? What was with the claim of a cooling trend in 1998 when temps shot up around 2000? And are people seriously using the last two years as an example that temperatures are going to drop? I dunno, I think I'd look at the 5 year average, or some other part of the bigger picture. These arguments are pretty weak, guys.

"the claim of a cooling trend in 1998 when temps shot up around 2000?"

No year since 1998 has been as warm or warmer than 1998. Also, there has been dramatic cooling since early 2007.

Thanks for clarifying that. Our contribution to Global warming is ludicrous. This is a scam designed to establish what they call "global governance" & "civil society". If mankind is responsible for global warming, given our minuscule contributions, then that means that the earth's ecosystem is incredibly fragile. It would also mean that there is no way in hell that we could ever hope to turn the trend around. Luckily, we're not the cause and the earth is already cooling.

our ecosystem IS incredibly fragile
