What connection did Al Gore make between Carbon dioxide and global warming?

Answer 1

Al Gore is Just the messenger. However, he has studied this issue for decades and is as much an expert on the subject as any career scientist. (And the Internet thing is very nearly true- he headed the effort that commercialized ARPNET, the military networking system. That was the beginning of the modern Internet.)

The connection is one that no scientist has denied in a peer reviewed journal (the reliable way to gauge scientific opinion), and it is that Carbon dioxide emissions by humans is the cause of global warming, which is harmful. However, over half popular media pieces have expressed doubts. Those doubts do not exist in the world of science.

Answer 2

Global warming is at the fore front because politicians found how to use a new platform to get re-elected. The world leaders use it because they found ways to make money at it. This is a made up problem just like Global Cooling in the 1970's. Wake up people. I agree we need to be more efficient with our resources, and we should fine and jail companies who are dumping into our rivers maliciously. I want to stop the raiforest destruction, but to say that global warming is a serious man made issue and we need to destroy the American economy and bow down to the rest of the world certainly does not float my boat. Follow the money on this one and you will see that it is all for political gain and grant money for those scientists who profit off of the government if global warming stays at the front of the issues. Look deep into the Keoto (sp?) Treaty, first of all they took jets to a non-central resort location. Not very environmentally concious. THen in the parameters of the treaty they have a clause that makes it so you can buy or sell polution credits. This is all about shifting wealth and breaking down the United States. This is painfully obvious, just look at peoples agenda. The earth's mean temperature has risen .6 degrees C in the past 125 years. Greenland's icecaps have gotten colder in the past 10 years. The Scientists who do not gain anything on their posisition will tell you that the earth has a natural progression and this is what we are seeing. The UN report is made up of POLITICIANS not a good spread of scientists. THere are as many or more scientists who believe that man in NOT the reason and it is over hyped, but their voice is not heard in the LIberal Mainstream Media. This issue is 99% political, and an attempt to make the USA a socialist nation, and eventually communisim. WAKE UP AMERICA, IT IS TIME TO BE AMERICANS. FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. STOP THE LIES

Answer 3

Al Gore is not a scientist, a physicist, a mathemetician, a chemist, or a meteorologist. Therefore it is a certainty that Al Gore made no such connection. He is simply stating what some people think and pretending that he is an expert. Just as he tried to make people he invented the Internet.

Al Gore is the great pretender.

Answer 4

He made an emotional, political connection. Nowhere in his "documentary" or the "supporting evidence" is causation established. It is assumed. One can make just as strong a case for CO2 concentrations being a function of local temperature.
