If the global warming camp were more willing to acknowledge other

instead of ringing alarm bells and dismissing opposing views as fringe
science I would be more inclined to wards them. "Everyone worthwhile agrees with me" is not an convincing argument in my eyes. Also, Al Gore as a spokesman doesn't help the readability of their case.
You're using circular logic. If scientits study something and find concerns, how do they tell people without as you said "ringing alarm bells"? Not ring them? That would be useful...
You keep mentioning Al Gore, what are your specific disputes you have with his claims? Other than him being; as I suspect is your issue, a Democrat (ex).
