Boy, what a nutty thread. Who would have expected to find lively political debate on a web site.

So the concept is, that the people studying global warming have an incentive to exaggerate the problem to get grant money? Yikes. What about all the global warming skeptics who receive generous funding to downplay the problem? For example, from energy companies with a stake in opposing regulation of fossil fuel emissions. This was actually documented in 1998 in a book called "The Heat is On: The Climate Crisis, The Cover-up, The Prescription."

Heck, in 2001, the National Academy of Sciences did a report, commissioned by the Bush administration that began, ""Greenhouse gases are accumulating in the Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise." (I only state this because it is apparent there are a few Bush supporters in here?)

But you know what, let's not listen to Al Gore, and let's not listen to Bush, or Crichton, or John Stossel, or Ed Begley Jr., let's listen to the scientists. The ones whose published academic research on the issue is scrutinized by friend and foe alike.

Al Gore is an idiot. Global warming is NOT manmade. The Earth is much too big to be affected as dramatically as he discusses. Of course, he neglects to discuss how the ice is getting thicker in Greenland's center, how most of the 6,000 glaciers on Earth are growing.

Isn't this the same algore that invented the internet???? hmmmmmm

You don't even have to do your own research, just read the whole topic before replying and displaying your ignorance. See below. Or above, just one page back.

Here is the quote:

"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

His insight was recognizing the potential and getting Congress to fund it (at that time for the military and universities). Glad he made some money off it with Google stock. He deserves it.

Now he has his sights on global warming. Hope Congress listens to him again.

One of the cheapest shots around. Don't respond to the message, just try to discredit the messenger.
