Moore's points include the fact that the planet has gone back and forth through ice ages and periods of warmth. There's no denying that humans are seriously contributing, just that it's not a new reality for the planet.

Also, if people weren't so afraid of nuclear, things could get figured out pretty quickly. But the environmentalists don't want to hear solutions like that, likewise for solutions in carbon capture that guys like Bill Gates have been working on.

It's an all out war on fossil fuels when it doesn't need to be. A balance can be struck. Deciding to completely stop using fossil fuels by such and such date is a pretty narrow minded solution. An alternative solution is to find ways to use the human created excess carbon emissions for things that are beneficial, and to look at ways of powering our lifestyles in ways that aren't as inefficient as solar and wind.

It just blows my mind that people are so anti-pipeline when it's the most efficient, cleanest, and lowest risk way of doing it. Basically, if you're anti-pipeline, you're for more emissions. How does one reconcile that in their mind? It's just baffling.
