Wow Jake.
You let Al Gore's propaganda piece get to you?
You know Al buys his "Carbon Credits" (to reduce his carbon footprint from his 20-room, $1500/mo electric bill mansion in Tennessee) from ... his own company.
Remember, always be skeptical of anyone purporting to be claiming "the truth".
Fine, but this is all static. Debate with me the fact that humans are dramatically increasing C02 on the planet and that the US is the worst, by FAR, contributor. Not only that, but even IF all this is crap, we're in the back of the classroom on even considering the ramification's and acting to try and do what we can.
You can't guarantee me that our influence on the atmosphere isn't going to throw us into some pretty dramatic climate changes. On the other hand, neither can those who say that our influences are going to make dramatic differences. However, given that if one of the two sides is correct, we're about to experience some pretty tough times as a species, wouldn't you err on the side of caution?
