It may be that global warming is a fact but here are some facts our sainted Al left out. CO2 is not the most significant green house gas water vapor is. CO2 makes up .0360% of the atmosphere. (virtually zero)The other planets are also getting warmer. The sun is putting out more heat and has been getting warmer for quite a while. There are magnetic changes that could have some effect on global temperatures. The planet would be getting warmer even if we didn't exist.
There is a lot of money to be made by a lot of people by selling us the idea that we "do" some thing about global warming. Thirty years ago we were getting a similar story only then we were going into another ice age and the oil was running out. This was all because of the emission of what we now call "green house" gases caused by using the oil that was running out. It was shading the planet you see and reflecting all the radiation back out into space. According to their predictions we're all now freezing to death in the dark. We were in such a panic that Jimmy Carter created the Department of Energy which is going to spend about $25,000,000 of your money next year. Ad that up for the last thirty years and you've got a significant amount. Thats not to mention the millions more you'll spend following their rules. Just think of all the starving children we could have fed with that money. Of course they achieved some success because now instead of freezing to death we're all going to burn to death and we at least fed a lot of kids whose parents we employed fighting off the coming ice age. You guys like to mention that the scientists that dispute "global warming" are being paid by the oil companies etc. to make their false claims. Well where do the guys that claim global warming is caused by man get their cash? Al has his carbon credit company. In Europe they've come up with arbitrary quotas for CO2 emissions. If you produce more CO2 than what you're allotted you can pay Al big bucks. He'll give some of it to somebody that produces less than their allotment and he gets to keep the rest. He'd like to get laws passed so he can set up the same kind of business here. The millions of dollars he's making in Europe aren't enough to support the life style of a man of his importance in the style in which he should be accustomed. I don't remember that part in his presentation. We should do whats reasonable to minimize our "footprint" but Most of this "global warming" crap is nothing more than a money making scheme. Quit drinking the kool-aid and start smelling the coffee.

they're "genuine Believers" who're very the vast majority of a Leftist approach. they're in denial of the possibility that they may well be incorrect. They mindlessly help "Doing some thing" while not having the slightest theory of what its effect could be. To them all and sundry who disagrees with them would desire to be stupid, by using fact they understand they're ideal. to realize the targets they suspect in they're prepared to alter the evidence, lie, libel, slander and denigrate the contest. look on the temperature information from the top of the Ice Age in the previous, the Holocene era, those the GW supporters have not doctored to make their theories artwork. look at image voltaic interest information they have not suppressed. we've been warming up from the medieval Little Ice Age which somewhat ended approximately 1815. look on the quicker heat era while the Vikings grew wheat in Greenland. somewhat calculate the tiny quantity of CO2 human interest produces and contemplate whether reducing that, destroying technological civilisation, is worth slowing climate exchange with the aid of an infinitesimal quantity. submit to in suggestions that one large volcanic eruption cam positioned extra greenhouse gasses into the air than all of human interest during historical past. they'll call you a "denier" a label which suggests you oppose the fact. A Zealot is in simple terms somebody who fiercely believes in some thing. regrettably the GW people refuse to take heed to in a spirit of provide and take, by using fact their personalities are incapable of that. a real Leftist has the comparable variety of character, do no longer attempt to confuse them with info, by using fact their tiny minds are already made up.

So if Al Gore's wrong he's wrong. I'm sure he'll be man enough to admit that. But what if he's RIGHT? Will you be man enough to admit he was right? Will all of those who doubted him have enough courage to face themselves and their own bias and admit they were wrong. What if there is a serious global climate change coming and what if it's something we can prevent? If we don't take action will you look your child in the eye and tell them "I'm sorry, Mommy and Daddy didn't believe in global warming and now it's too late..." ?
If you can provide some credible science that disproves global warming exists and that much of it is caused by man, then you're welcome to join the debate.

While the so called "LIBERALS" were debating global warming for the last 2 decades you Right wingers have just ignored the debate. Now that even the nuttiest of you cant ignore it anymore because of the overwhelming consensus of reasonable people around the world You want to have a debate so you can water down any measures that need to be taken.
Wingnuts only ever want a debate when they now they can no longer ignore the obvious.

you forgot to cite a source for gore's quote.
which brings me to my next point - a debate happens when people debate something other than stuff they just thought up - which is what the head-in-the-sand viewpoint on global warming really is.
does the first guy who answered really want to debate gravity?
what's next - shall we start teaching the flat earth societies viewpoint that the earth is actually flat?
or perhaps we could all pretend that we were medieval priests and have a conference debating weighty topics such as how many angels can fit onto the head of a pin.
get real.
global warming is not a political issue - it's a scientific FACT!

to one poster, liberals have not been discussing global warming for 2 decades. It didn't start to get any coverage at all till about the year 2000. Up until then most of the Liberal conversation was about global cooling and the coming ice age. So don't sit on a high horse and try and blame Conservatives for the problem, it won't wash.

well... you're not giving any kind of link or context... so I don't know...
most seem to be open to factual debate... now, is this guy using facts or the typical "reasons why global warming isn't real" list of laughable ideas?

I don't get how you can debate Global Warming. Climate change is happening... look at Greenland, at Africa, at the US. Things are changing. That debate is done and over, just like the debate if the world is flat.
The debate is on what we should do. Should we handle problems as they come, or try and do something about them? Will we be able to do anything about them? Are we just trying to make ourselves feel better?

Man-made global warming is a scientific fact. There is no "debate." It is not a political question where differing opinions are valid.
The so-called "skeptics" can post their crackpot nonsense all they want--but theyare not entitled to have anyone take them seriously--or engage in a "debate" over established facts.

Maybe because we don't appreciate your less than clever witticisms, such as "Owl."
I am not a huge Gore fan, but if you're going to try to do wordplay, at least do it with intelligence and humor...that wordplay doesn't really have either.
