If you think this global warming thing is bogus then that's one thing, but the message you and other "I Hate Gore" types are putting out there is "Gore doesn't do it, why should I"? which is both childish and dangerous.
And it's not like the guy just cooked up a doomsday scenario and is now out there selling it for cash. This theory has been kicking around for like 20 years.
One thing I always wonder about the skeptics is do they believe that we should just keep going, using more and more as fast as possible, forever.
Forget global warming, what about plain old pollution? Shouldn't we cut back? Where are we going to end up if we keep doing this? A thousand barrels a second -- thats kind of intense, wouldn't you say? Never mind what else we burn up in that second. If this e-mail took me 3 minutes to write, then while I was doing it, 180 thousand barrels of oil were burned. That has to be affecting something negatively.

I find it funny and a bit pathetic how people keep missing the issue at hand here, which is global warming and how very little our government is doing about it. And yes, the Liberal government didn't much about it either when they were in office, but that should not be a cop out excuse for the current government. It's much easier instead to try and descredit the Al Gore for using his public image to make sure that everyone hears the message. Global warming isn't a figment of Al Gore's imagination, it's something that scientists and environmentalists have been warning people about for many years now. Some people may not belive the problem is that serious, well that means the think tanks are doing their job properly. I remember The problem is there and it will continue to get worse, especially with plans such as the one designed by the Harper government.
