As far as Gore is concerned, "the debate is over in the scientific community" as to whether or not global warming will have a devastating effect on the earth within the next decade.

Alistair, I haven't seen the movie but I think this is a straw man. The debate he claims is over is whether humans are a major part of the problem, not whether there will be a devastating effect in ten years. (I've already had this discussion with Suma who claimed she also heard, although not in the movie, that the world was coming to an end in ten years.) I'm as sure about this as I can be not having actually seen the movie.

I've been reading about the points he makes and the points made about his points and, while I have issues with his points and hs approach, those criticize him are scandalously sloppy.
