Gore had one class in geography which shaped his global "scientific" view. Geography is not even a "natural science" BTW.

The scientific community just goes along with him because he has the clout.

Don, > When you discuss climate change and the threat to the planet, with whom do you counter Gore's expertise?

I wish I saved the link from a guy who believes that global warming is real, but doesn't buy into the alarmism that Al Gore is pushing. It was a very well-reasoned counter to all of this apocalyptic talk from those who pretty much enjoy the power or attention it brings.

By the way, average temperatures around the world actually declined over the past decade. Hence the reason why "global warming" was renamed "climate change," despite the fact that the climate has always been changing.
