No one can argue that there is Global Warming going on here in Philly.... so I am confused, should I dismiss what Al Gore is saying as another political whizz?

Does it matter if it is natural or man made? Don't we still have to react, adapt, evolve and innovate anyway? I think we should all dismiss Al Gore. He's too polarizing. Let's have the same demonstration in An Inconvenient Truth presented by Oprah. Then we can get down to the real business of how we will live in a world that is going to be a little different than what we are used to. At the end of the day the how is more important than they why or the who.

Global warming is happening but I don't think is result of human actions. The earth is getting warmer but it has been happening for a number of years and there was a scienticist on Tucker Carlson's show who was not a conservative who said Al Gore had pretty much skewed the facts. He wanted to put the responsibility on us and the scienticist did stated that Global warming is real but is not certain if humans are the cause of it and that Al Gore's movie was pretty much alter the facts.

Global warming is a myth.
Al Gore is a political stiff and is always whizzing into the wind, thus creating the Global Warming theory. It is the piss stupid.

Some people are intent on believing that man-made global warming does not exist, despite the scientific evidence to the contrary. The US government’s EPA website prefers to use the term “climate change” because (quoting the National Academy of Sciences) “it helps convey that there are [other] changes in addition to rising temperatures." Al Gore presents the results of the scientific research in an understandable and interesting format but if you are seriously interested in the topic you can go to the original sources and analyze the data.
Whether you choose to “believe” in man-made global warming, we should, in any case, be addressing the fundamental issues of slowing the growth of emissions, energy conservation and renewable energy sources. I think the actual political debate centers around how much we should do, whether it should be mandatory and how much to spend to do it.

I have a difficult time in trying to distinguish between the two - especially when Global Warming leads to Climate Change!
But I an not certain that Climate Change leads to Global Warming!

In part, Yes. Gore is right on target that the Globe/Earth is warming the only problem is that no one knows for sure how much it will warm & how long it will take to get that warm. In Gore's film he uses the "doomsday" figures or worst case senero postion but nobody including Gore's scientists knows if that is certain to happen. The tempreture could stay well below Gore's position. Bottomline nobody will really knows so nobody including Gore can tell you what needs to be done. They can only guess & they might be right or they might be wrong.

He's found some people who will buy his theory and now he's capitalizing on it but it's just that, a theory. Our planet undergoes climate change every few years, was it 40? Not sure and we are in a change now. People are getting rich off of this like they did in the 70's when it was said we were going to go into a glacier age.

Al Gore is a whacko environmentalist nut.
I wouldn't even give global warming a second thought.
