I'd like to hear Al's response to this (from the article transplant linked):
Appearing before the Commons Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development last year, Carleton University paleoclimatologist Professor Tim Patterson testified, "There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years." Patterson asked the committee, "On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?"
Gore is probably the most dangerous propagandist and opportunist in the western world. Let's waste billions of dollars, cripple the world economy in order to prevent something that is not even happening (drastic human-caused climate changes). Yeah why don't we do just that, because he looks like a nice fellow...
