I completely agree with you. Al Gore has made some points that are very weak. CO2 levels have increased a little but they have no relation to global warming. And the CO2 humans put into the atmosphere are nothing compared to the ocean which releases the most CO2. Humans make up 3% of the carbon dioxide in the air and there is about 0.03% CO2 in the air. hmmm, sounds like a big problem. There was a time after the second world war that more and more CO2 was released into the atmosphere but temperatures for some reason decreased. Carbon dioxide does not cause global warming. People are claiming that carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere. That is wrong. CO2 aborbs black body radiation and Fingerprint radiation and turns it into heat. Surrounding oxygen and nitrogen molecules immediatly abosrb the heat but the molecules only go through ONE process of abosorption and emission. Propaganists say they go through MANY cycles, which cause heating in the atmopshere.
You are also right about Antarctica my friend. Antarctica is mysterious in that some parts are slowly melting but others are not.
This is nothing to get worried about

Why do you anti-global warming people get your panties in such a bunch over every little thing Al gore does? Is it because you, being unable to refute the science, must resort to petty, vindictive ad hominem attacks? Or is it simply the fact that you are not aware that Al Gore's opinion is entirely irrelevant to anyone ever? Al Gore is not the leading expert on GW theory people, if you'd stop listening to Rush Limbaugh and learn to think for yourselves you would have realized this by now. I and the great majority of other people who accept the GW theory do not give a rat's rootie patootie what Al Gore is doing or what sort of plane he flies in. Find a new argument, because this one's getting old.
As to your claims that we're 'coming out of the last ice age'. I don't suppose you have any evidence whatsoever that supports this claim, eh? Because, had you actually looked at some graphs tracking climate over the past 300 years (I assume you're referring to the LIA, which wasn't global anyway, making your entire point meaningless), you see quite clearly that we aren't doing anything of the sort.
Now I, lacking the time and the will to respond to your claims about Antarctica growing, have decided to simply copy the short quote directly from illconsidered.blogspot.com
And you can check out the site for more rebuttals of your arguments against the theory.
"There is actually very little data about the changes in the mass of the Antarctic ice sheets, and the conclusion of some growth in the East Antarctic ice sheet is so little that with the uncertainty, it might even be shrinking. This is not a surprising phenomenon as such an increase would be the result of increasing precipitation and this is fully consistent with a warming world as the antarctic is a desert and warmer climates tend towards more precipitation. And even if you warmed 10 oC from -50 oC, you would still be accumulating snow, not melting in the rain.
There is some widespread glacial melting on the Antarctic peninsula and ice shelves are breaking up, but it does indeed appear that the mass balance on ice at the south pole may be positive but negligible. This does not, however contradict the theory of Global Warming in any way whatsoever.
While on the subject of ice sheets, Greenland is also growing ice in the center for the same reasons described above, but it is melting on the exterior regions, on the whole losing approximately 200 km^3 of ice annually, doubled now from a decade ago. This is a huge amount compared to what the changes may be in the Antarctic, around three orders of magnitude larger. So any potential gain in total volume of ice on the planet due to the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is wiped out many many times over by Greenland's ice sheet."

Global warming is no longer Environmental, it has now become a religion, and Algore is the Savior.
This scam of buying Carbon Offset points so you can be forgiven of your CO2 sins is a load of garbage. The money wont help the environment and the tree they plant with it will probably be a cactus.
There is 28 billon dollars in carbon offsets today. Who will that benefit? The real winners in emissions trading have been polluting factory owners who can sell menial cuts for massive profits and the brokers who pocket fees each time a company buys or sells the right to pollute
Al Gore is just whoring himself to the nutcases on the far left, and the hollywood liberals. I wonder how many of those musicians who were kissing his butt a few weeks ago remember Algore and his wife Tipper when they were fighting them in court for bad language in their music?

I agree with you. I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" and all he talks about is how he should have been president and how everyone should feel bad for him like every Liberal does.
In the movie all of his graphs just shoot up at the end for no apparent reason. If you closely studied some you would realize how stupid they were put together. It's like someone working for Gore opened Microsoft Excel and went nuts making graphs just so they could get an opportunity to be President in 2008.

He's a befuddled man. He was probably raised around women only most of his life. He aint worried about nothing as he laughs all the way to the bank. Of course he's going to try to preserve his cash cow, at least until he starts losing money hyping it. Quack quack quack
"Listen my sheeple and you will tremble,
by this delusion had by the simple,
The earth is dying (er... I'm just lying)
We ALL should quiver like Toady's liver, (Toady Kennedy)
Lets all pile in my belchfire fliver,
And make the world think it's dying.
I'm Al Gore, and I'm a boor,
Screw all the sheeple, till they are poor."

Did all and sundry see the action picture, "An Inconvenient certainty"? Then please tell me precisely what evidence Al Gore provided. to start with Al isn't a scientist and has no medical history, all I ever heard him say grew to become into "a chum of mine stated, blah,blah blah" and then he throws up his little chart to coach the upward thrust of carbon dioxide interior the air, the factor of the main important iceberg that grew to become into shown melting is definitely becoming. right it extremely is the genuine concern, 25% of the Scientists have faith that there is international Warming, seventy 5% disagree or have not any opinion the two way. The media in basic terms pronounces the minority (those that say that's genuine). Now i comprehend that all of the liberals might desire to have a jackass to stay with so as that they picked Al Gore and then the all pontificate provide up international WARMING, the actual fact of the priority is that we would desire to do is provide up international WHINING!! in case you liberals % international warming to be genuine, tell your congressmen and females to NUKE IRAN NOW, that would desire to boost the temperature in that area upwards of one hundred seventy five,000 tiers. Edit: be conscious to Raoul Duke: that's time for me to take a CRAP!! humorous, I certainly have in no way heard any scientist say that they seem to be a climate exchange scientist, they might say that they seem to be a a geophysicist or meteorologist, what number cardiologists verify with themselves has a heart surgeon or a heart surgeon that makes a speciality of stints, none, they might say they seem to be a heart professional focusing on angioplasty. of course I certainly have doubts approximately your declare, you may say which you're something which you somewhat %. i think of that mendacity and deceit involves you very of course as does the flexibility to swallow all of the B.S which you hear approximately international warming, your demonstrate screen call seems to sum all of it up, think of have the call of a character that's no longer in basic terms a drug consumer additionally has a bottomless contempt for conservatives. you may, yet probable won't look on the hyperlinks under that coach that international warming is a FARCE as are human beings such as you that declare to be in touch in this analyze.

dream on
it does not make any difference what anybody says
some facts are undeniable
and the people that have lost everything and the many who are dead do not need to see a movie or argue whether or not they should be worried
there are enough disaster areas in the world to come up with an inteligent analises ,you only have to investigate
POLITICS
ecologists and scientists who work for politicians ,get paid by these politicians and they have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many peoples incomes,and upsets profit margins,so most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.
MANS EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT
(this is limited to effects of people in the country,industrial effects on the environment and the internal combustion engine as well as the over all effects of cities ,is another story)
DEFORESTATION
expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's
clearing them for farming and settlement areas .
In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years
the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.
TV put out a series of documentaries
there are campaigns in the News papers
and all of this has not made the slightest difference
Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest
ON THE GROUND
go to the countries on the equator ,check what has happened in history
and listen to what is going on in the many disaster areas on this planet today,(and there are more each year )
: i have seen lands that have been turned from jungle into desserts by people in a matter of a couple of years ,because of the slash and burn method used by settlers and expanding agriculture,and i have seen rivers dry up because of deforrestation in many places in Africa and Mexico ,
there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms
in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result
in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,
,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.
collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,
each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss
and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing
RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.
