It's worse to make people think you know what the hell you're talking about, when in fact, you know you don't, which is exactly what Gore does. Those who you claim to ignore the facts - perhaps I'm one of them and if so, I have no problem with it because nobody like you will explain why, if global warming is a man made problem, is there proof that the earth has always gone through warming and cooling cycles? It would seem that it is the environmentalist crowd that sucks up to Al Gore who ignore the facts that the earth goes through cycles and we're in a warming cycle right now. Nothing can stop it or slow it down.

The liberal wacko alarmists have the great majority of the scientific community, and the conservatives have Ann Coulter. You decide which side has more credibility.

Global warming isn't one of my pet issues, and I think it's not nearly as important as all the other damage we're doing. We're in the middle of a mass extinction event on the scale of the one that killed the dinosaurs, and global warming's role in all these extinctions is relatively minor. What I generally see from global warming deniers is an overall "who cares about the environment" attitude that goes far beyond ignoring facts about global warming specifically. |

There are even serious questions about the credibility and methodology of modern record-keeping. Anyone with even a passing exposure to science and statistical regression should recognize there are problems with mainstream global warming science. |

Without those reference points, how can you fit a model? You can't; and therefore scientists are left trying to do extrapolation that goes well beyond the bounds of what their limited historical data can provide. |
