Global Warming? I thought people finally grew a brain and threw that term out with last weeks trash.
Climate Change more accurately describes what is going on. And what is happening is that our environment is heating up and this is altering the weather patterns. This will affect how we live and how our economies will function. Denying this is not only stupid, it's negligent.
All this energy being wasted on debating the uselessness of whether humanity is the cause of it really bothers me. We should be figuring out what to do to adapt to the changes (which may involve cutting back on fossil fuel consumption).
Both sides need to get their heads out of their butts and figure out what needs to be done to minimize the damage to our society.
About Gore... there is no way in heck he deserves the Nobel piece price. That win reeks of politics and demeens the award. Not that it is a shining beacon in it's own right. I liked the suggestion of making a Nobel Environmental Activism award instead.
