A terrific honor for Al and the United States.

Yep, and congrats to him for his award and commitment, regardless of
whether
global warming is indeed, man induced.

It's ironic that had he been declared the victor in 2000, it is unlikely
he
would receiving a Nobel prize today.

Most republicans think that global warming isn't happening in any way,
man made or otherwise.

Well, let's just take a straw poll here....

I will guarantee that at least two thirds of the conservatives that I
know and associate with are in pure denial that global warming is
real. There's been pages and pages of debate right here in rec.boats.

Wrong. The earth's temperature has increased by one degree in the past
century. This is disputed by very, very few. Whether or not man caused even
one-fiftieth of the one degree rise is the question. The next question is
what to do about it. Many on your side want to spend a lot of money making
Gore rich. Others want to make a lot of money by 'carbon offsets' (more
tree planting?).

I'll know the liberals are taking man's contribution seriously when Sen.
