Disagreeing with Gore's political strategy does not make one a flat-earther.
It's not to do with Gore's political strategy, at least for me. I'd say that's no more than a topical back-up for anyone here who accepts the evidence.
It's to do with anthropogenic global warming; the rapid and accelerating warming of the earth and subsequent alterations in climate and biosphere, due to human actions, principally the vast release of CO2 into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels.
Nothing political about that.
If some politicians use it as a rallying point, well, at least they should be moving attitudes in the right direction. If others deny it exists as their own rallying point, and make it a partisan honour to disbelieve the amassing evidence, well, more fool them and they stand to do serious harm.
As for a flat earth, well, at present I'd say the Victoria is still accompanied by the Trinidad and they've made it to the Spice Islands the long way.

Not definitive but sufficient. Certainly sufficient, IMO, that debating it is as fruitless as debating electricity in 1900; the theory may not be fully understood, or 'proven' in the methematical sense, but there's really no other explanation. |
