Could be either, couldn't it? Paul. Funny, we live in the ‘information age’, yet we really do not know if its an ‘inconvenient truth’ or a ‘profitable lie’. Could be either, couldn’t it?

I totally respect your beliefs, but I can't make them my own. Of course, this could all be a "scam" of huge proportions, but my gut feeling tells me different. And I don't agree that we cannot have a serious impact on earth temperature. It may be small in comparison to volcanic eruptions, but it's continuous. For now I have no reason to disbelieve the greenhouse theory, since I have such clear evidence in my own environment. It could of course be "natural flux" as you say, but - as I said - my gut tells me different. So I keep waving my feather. Interesting perspective.

Of course we must look after the planet, but Al Gore travels in his private jet expulsing tons of CO2 to the atmosphere (maybe he has allergy to commercial airlines). The Gore's mansion consumes 20 times more energy than the average houses in USA, and I don't want to know how much water is wasted in his 8 bathrooms... This is really an "inconvenient truth". Practice what you preach Mr. Gore. I heared too that the data used in the Al Gore’s conferences are exagerated and incorrect.

The temperature of the earth is always in flux, but to think that man can really have a serious impact on it is pretty outlandish. Furthermore, to think that we can predict it based on the minute amount of data we have when we can't even accurately predict tomorrows weather? A single volcano eruption can do more "damage" to the cause of the Global Warming fanatics than the sum of all automobiles in human history. Looks like they've hooked you with their propaganda. Even with the faulty data they do have, the impact of something like the Kyoto protocol is tiny. It's like trying to stop a tidal wave with a feather. I'm all for clean air, water, etc, but I'm also for science unmarred by politics. Why do you think that the primary proponents of man made global warming are either politicians, or scientists that rely on politicians for their funding? There will be cycles in temperature and there is nothing we can do about it. We can, however, focus on things that will help people in the real world - like help people in poor impoverished nations get clean water and food, and more importantly help them build a government that will represent the people. The cleanest countries in the world have representative Governments. Before even caring about a clean environment people typically want to first live in a world where they can provide for their families honestly. Why focus on this mystical problem that is out of our control when we can put our time and resources to something that matters. It’s a scam man.
