For the record, I do not doubt that the planet is warming, I only question whether or not this is catastrophic. As I understand it, the world has been subject to a long history of periods of fluctuating temperatures; warming and colling ad nauseum. Is it possible that because we are transitioning from a "cool" period of the earth's history for the first time since the invention of science we are alarmed by it?

Well it goes both ways. I really don't see just because Al Gore said it that it must be part of some political agenda.
I just think it is a load of crap that this issue seems to be polorizing depending on who you vote for. More and more conservatives seem to be supporting the idea than global warming is fiction and vice versa (I'm not singling out you or anything, but surely you do notice the trend).
