To hell with Gore. Never saw the movie and don't care to. Gore is
trying to sensationalize it and goad people into action. He is only
for the converted. He is NOT a source authoritative info.

Still, my take on this is that serious researchers converge on there
being significant global warming. The conversation has moved from "if"
to "how sever."

I have been following this topic on another site for some time. There
has been a LOT of rancor over whether or not GW is happening. For what
it is worth I have been convinced that it is an issue of concern.

Take a look at the sites I listed above. They are mainstream
government
programs.

The Earth has been warming for the last 12,000 years, give or take. Had
it not been, we wouldn't be here but the skiing would be fantastic.

The only constant in the Earth's climate is change. Always has been,
always will be.



Big difference between normal trends and those that have taken place
since the Industrial Rev. era. The science is pretty conclusive at this
point that we've got a serious problem. It's not just about warming.
There has and will continue to be much larger fluctuations in conditions,
among other things.

Ya, but when you plug the last hundred years into the trendline for the
past several thousand years, it hardly makes a blip.


No doubt. It's those blips that'll kill ya in the short term (less than 1000
years). We can do something about it if we have the political will.
