I dont buy it. Something is happening out there. Lowering carbon footprint cant be a bad thing anyway.

I agree that it doesn't hurt to lower the "carbon footprint" -- I don't see anyway that can hurt anything, so long as it doesn't adversely affect us too much as we do it.

At the same time, there just isn't any real evidence that anything out of the ordinary (I'm talking about what's "ordinary" for the planet on a long-term basis) is happening. Weather cycles happen, and you cannot (as the "green scientists" are prone to doing) just pick out a microscopic 100-year period and say, "This is a trend". Particularly given that even within the brief 100 years the trend isn't really a trend.

I'm fine with people researching it and trying to determine whether something is happening. But Gore's entire argument is based on bogus or non-science, as is the argument of most of the so-called scientists who support the claim.

It is not a good thing to conflate science with politics and it appears that this is what happening on the global warming issue.
