I am on board, I think, with the notion of man-made warming, and I'm happy to pay taxes to study it more. But why anyone thinks Al Gore cares about this movement, is beyond me. If he's correct, and if everyone lived like him, North Dakota would be exporting pineapples by now.

Agreed. But that was not what Ronnie said, though.
Al Gore is a spokesperson, an advocate. Not a scientist. He carries little weight on the issue with me. My understanding is he was purchasing carbon credits to offset his usage, although that is from memory.
Glad you are coming around. It is a real issue, and one we need to start adapting to, particularly coastal cities. Not hair on fire react to, but sea level is rising, which we can measure, and will continue to be the way we see impacts first in the northeast. It will be the ‘nuisance floods’ which will start to hit municipal budgets first, barring a major storm. See Annapolis or Norfolk as good examples.

"that was not what Ronnie said, though."
Faire enough, he mentioned just panels.
Al Gore is an advocate? Maybe based on what he says, but not based on how he lives, right?
"Glad you are coming around"
I love animals, I love the outdoors, and I believe we have a big obligation o be responsible stewards of these beautiful ecosystems. That doesn't mean I'm going to knock down my house and live in a yurt, while hypocrites like Al Gore and Hollywood swells fly in private jets from one mansion to another. I don't think Al Gore believes a word of what he says., if he did, he would live differently. He says what he says, for the money and the adulation, in my opinion.
Have a wonderful new year Bryan, wishing you great stuff in 2018. |

Maybe. Again, Al Gore is meaningless to me.
You too, happy new year

Al Gore isn't trying to influence scientists, he just works to make sure they are heard.

speaking of Al

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Al Gore’s concern & interest in the environment is the same reason Jesse Jackson & Al Sharption’s interest in racism.....
It’s a cash register.
That’s my point !
