Why should I care about Al Gore one way or the other? I can tell you this, greenhouse gases have positive feedback loops that drive change beyond what is expected. It is all but certain that current projections for change in climate patterns are low-balled due to the inability to account for positive feedback loops. You will see greenhouse gases released by warming that dwarf human production of greenhouse gases -- but to deny our role in triggering the threshold level needed for the release of those gases is just plain head-in-the-sand ignorance. Once climate change gets rolling it will be too late to stop it. That is why it is urgent -- it threatens to spiral with positive feedback loops driving unimaginable releases of greenhouse gases from natural sources -- think thawing of the permafrost and release of methane as the prime example. Once we get there we are screwed.
