While it's certainly open to debate whether global warming falls under
the purview of a peace prize, there's no question that once it's
decided that the prize goes for that, Albert Gore Jr. is deserving of
it.

The idea that global warming is liberal bias is preposterous. Global
warming is occurring, and the majority of that warming is
anthropogenic, and this is the consensus of climate scientists. None
of this is controversial in scientific circles, or at least no more
controversial than most generally-accepted theories.

Recent data suggests that warming is increasing faster than predicted
because the melting of ice is releasing additional C02 and methane
trapped under the ice from biomass frozen under the ice.

This could easily be the most serious threat that humankind has ever
faced.

So for Gore's tireless crusade to call attention to this issue, and
for his taking the initiative for creating the Internet by sponsoring
the bill that funded DARPAnet, the experimental government research
program which created the Internet, he certainly seems to be a
visionary and a strong contributor to making the world a better place.

This Gore-hatred is sick. He's a great man, and this country should
be proud of his winning this prize, not being a bunch of narrow-minded
ill-informed yahoos seeing things as liberal vs. conservative when its
really well-supported facts vs. junk Exxon science and fringe solar
theories that are not accepted.

RA,

"Climate Change" in a significant manner may in-fact be
'happening' at this Earth-Age -but- Mankind is 'want' to
have any real impact on it -except to- Adapt and Survive.

Yep, seems not long ago that the so-called-scientists were predicting global
cooling.

Now, we've a new bunch of kooks, led by a fellow who had to undergo a lot of
therapy because he lost an election. Al is mentally ill.

Fact: "With the release of the revised statement by the American
Association of Petroleum Geologists, no scientific bodies of national
or international standing are known to reject the basic findings of
human influence on recent climate."

Fact: If you disagree with most scientists, then who's the crackpot?
Sure isn't Gore. He's merely stating what most experts believe, for
the most part.

If we have most of science on one side, and a bunch of right-wing
lunatics on the other, it's pretty obvious who's wrong.

Yep, it's you kooks!

And Ross, by being on the computer you're obviously increasing your carbon footprint.
Knock it off, or Al will get you!

I'm all in favour of global warming! One must remember that as recently as
20,000 years ago, where I'm sitting here in Michigan there was a sheet of ice a
mile or so thick.


Where do you get your information? It may be worth seeking out
higher quality sources, because even trying to pass off how science
works as a primarily political matter looks ridiculous to anyone who
has had any experience in the sciences. The ONE unpardonable sin in
science (besides outright fraud) is to jump to unwarranted conclusions
because of political pressure. No reputable scientist or scientific
body is going to make rash unsupported statements about global warming
being a scientific consensus unless it really is.

Geeze, you can't really buy into that desperate "liberal scientific
conspiracy" crap? What you call liberal bias is actually the fact that
the facts disagree with your ideology, because your ideology is not
based in reality.

Surely you must admit that it depends on who you are and where you live
if this is threat or opportunity. Climate change has been at the
center of evolution and the tectonic plates continue to move. Where
are the discussions regarding _preparing_ for the changes as opposed
to _preventing_ them?

Regards,

Michael

What a novel concept. Preparing for changes that have been happening
since the beginning with time - and, pardon the pun - "going with the
flow" so to speak - or trying to stop them. Maybe you should produce
a movie on that topic. But I doubt the powers that be will want to
award that thinking any kind of mention - since it would do a lot to
quash all the hub bud over the environment.

Still in all, I think we are responsible for our environment - as it
were - we are the keepers, and we should try to pass the world on to
those after us in some sort of decent shape - but I'm not sure humans
can solve all the evoluntionary issues. After all, there are all
sorts of things causing the breakdown to the environment including the
fact that the earth is aging just like the rest of us.
