So far none of the "studies" that don't blame human
activity has produced any evidence to support their
claims.  Virtually every such report comes from
individuals or groups who say they've "re-examined"
the data which serious scientists have developed.

Better yet, read the book called "The Republican
War on Science" by Chris Mooney.  It's a NY Times
bestseller.  Oh, wait.  I forgot.  Right-wingers only
get their news from Pat Robertson and Faux News.

It's not one person shouting.  It is a chorus of
scientists from all over the world warning of dire
results if we continue to sit with our heads in the
sand the way industry wants.

It's not about Al Gore.  It's about using sensible
policies and writing (and enforcing) environmental
protection regulations to try to preserve what we
have.

Maybe if certain people cared more about the
environment than bashing political opponents they
might realize Al Gore isn't selling offsets.  He has
proposed several means to encourage responsible
behavior.  None involve you buying something
from him.
