Al Gores inconvienient truth...

Another side point; I would assume that his energy footprint is comparabl...

*meh*

LOL at Al BORE!11!

The best thing about forestry carbon offsets is the fact that once matured, these forests will be a source of renewable fuels. Then some one can buy some more carbon offsets and replant the trees we just cut down, better than cutting down all the red woods.

Planting trees and then chopping down the trees would be a net carbon offset of zero.

What would stop some billionaire setting fire to a rainforest for the heck of it, and then paying Norway a few million dollars to offset the carbon output of the fire? It seems more like a "I'm rich. I'll pay you carbon offset money so I can feel good about being green. And I'll keep driving my SUV," sort of thing.

I'm still not buying into the non-scientific 'consensus' of global warming/global cooling/climate change. Heck, unless my 3rd grade teacher was wrong, I thought we were still in the middle of a mini ice age in the middle of a giant ice age.

Sometimes, a picture really can speak 1000 words.

Algore has at least 3 large houses, maybe 4. His theories have been debunked.

As much as I hate john kerry, that ball was coming out of the sun. Anyone would flinch.

He musta ate Hillary!

Ewww... But worthy of a QFT!

I am too stupid to understand this argument, and too easily persuaded by each side to make a decision so I will turn to my new favourite source of information, Conservapedia!

It should be noted that these scientists are motivated by a need for grant money in their field of climatology. Therefore, their work can not be considered unbiased, though no more than any scientist in any other field .[4]. Also, these scientists are mostly liberal athiests, untroubled by the hubris that man can destroy the Earth which God gave him.

THANKS CONSERVAPEDIA!

yeah, that man made global warming... totally debunked by scientists, no question about it.

Please tell me/us...where are all the glaciers that once covered North America? Did man create enough "greenhouse gases" a million years ago to melt them too?

Please explain the record snowfall in Antarctica...or for that matter, the record cold in the last few weeks here in the USA?

Algore's conclusions have been totally based on theory, not fact. That's the "inconvenient" truth.

[CasingBill]

Al Gore is obviously eating quite healthy....he now has his own climate and contributes his own personal greenhouse gas.

[NoForts4Me]

Interesting...having almost this same thread over at MCB...

The main problem I have with the Al Gore types is the hypocrisy. I could care less if he lives in a 1,000,000 sq ft house and burns more fuel than the population of NY. I have a problem when he does that, yet criticizes other people for the way they live and how much energy they use. People that live in glass houses, you know.

[iambored]

What ever happened to global cooling?!

[bornl33t]

Gore, Pulosi, Google = hypocritical tree huggers.

Record snowfall in antartica? What? I looked that up on the google... here's the first article I found: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...outh-pole.html

Record cold doesn't really mean a thing. If the average tempertature goes up 2 degrees, which is a big change, then you'll still have cold whether, and sometimes record lows.

Also... I just don't understand how it seems like nobody gives scientists any credit. A panel of 600 of the worlds leading climatoligists(?) met in (sweden I think) a few weeks ago. Surely you heard about it. They unanimously agreed that Global Warming is being accelerated by humans.


And, I've said this many times, and I'll say it again...

Even if the greenhouse gasses we're emmiting now are not affecting the temperature now, it will eventually. So, we should do everything we can to stop it.

Hell...there ae more scientists than that on Exxons payroll...
