It seems that a lot of people here think that global warming was invented by Al Gore. You know that this issue has been around for a lot longer than that don't you?

The theory itself has been around for much longer, yes. But I don't think people started paying attention to it until the early 70's when scientists realized the potentially devastating implications of the theory. And from what I know, Gore held his first congressional hearings around the same time, so I suppose many people (wrongly) assume he must have created it.

Of course it was in existence before Al Gore made the movie, the movie just made people a lot more aware of the situation.
Unfortunately the movie stresses global warming a little bit too much, it stresses some facts to make it look a lot worse. I guess it is working though..right ? =)

Yes Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are not closer to the Sun than the Earth that is correct by the same token Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants (i.e.) they don't have ice caps at all, and never did. Mars southern pole is reducing, cause unknown, it has been put forward by 1 Russian scientist that this proves the Sun is the cause, only problem is none of the satellites that monitor the Sun (and have for 30 years) show this increase in output And as for learning about global warming from "David de Rothschild" I had never heard of him before this question.

Al Gore brought the inconvenient truth to the human eyes. Global Warming has been working its way for years before that and now we're finally realizing our consequences.

Global warming was around before Gore was born ,
And Many of the American public are still not aware of it .
Some people are very thick headed

Al Gore created global warming right after he was done inventing the internet.

.You know the saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". I knew global warming was a serious issue before Al Gore spoke up about it. We should be grateful he did. It took someone in the public eye to squeak loud enough for the media to take it seriously. So for that, I thank him.

Yes, PBS and education TV has been talking about global warming and melting ice caps for a long time. Thank goodness Al Gore cares so deeply about this subject and has become the spokesman for this imminent and grave concern for our planet and future generations to come.

Hi. Forget Al Gore. Climate change is not only inevitable, but occurs with or without human intervention or activity. What caused the last ice age? What caused the end of it? We either adapt or not, but this is the first generation with a choice. Just make it! Or go the way of the woolly mammoth and saber toothed tiger.

While I was working as an environmental educator, in 1998, I attended a statewide forum for Pennsylvania EE teachers. The major topic of the forum was the growing body of evidence for climate change, including early data from ornithologists, tree experts, and testimonials from Alaskan natives. It was the first effort I knew to bring the issue to the forefront of the public, even as Big Oil was paying experts to present only equivocable findings to purposely create a "debate" not necessarily mired in facts.
