Al Gore

I would say that in part it is a natural progression, but we are speeding the progression. I also believe that the earth has been through a lot more, and soon any and all human existance will be wiped free either from man made destruction or natural causes and after another 5-7 hundred million years life will reinvent itself again. its happend before in the earths cycle and it will continue to happen. i have no solution for stopping global warming, as someone said the earth is overpopulated, and thats a major issue. but i know for sure that humans are speeding the process of global warming and it could very well be the end of human civilization as we know it. maybe not in our lifetimes, but in our childrens or childrens children if we continue to destroy the atmoshpere at the rate we have been.

I more believe that the natural evolution of the planet is whats going on....if politicians or guys like Al Gore would close their "hot air holes" more maybe that would go a long way towards helping!

Just kidding a bit! I think it is admirable what Al Gore is doing.....my hat is off to him!

Saw him on Oprah, it was compelling. Not necassarily a Gore fan, but what he has to say here is worth our attention. This is something that in the end has no party line.
The pieces of ice blocks that Antartica is loosing are larger than the Rhode Island.
I'll have to make a point to watch the video and read the book.
Nice post.

I suppose the global warming by overpopulation could be likened to a huge cold empty function room....you walk in there its cold, and then as the room fills with people it warms to a point you can't stand it any longer! Thats not to mention the effects of all of the waste produced by so many...co2...emissions from cars etc.

A lot of smart people are wrong. When Bill cites John, and John cites Pete, and Pete cites Harry, and Harry cites Bill - somthing's up.

Look, it's great to try to predict the future, but take a look at your local 5-day forecast and tell me how accurate the 5th day turns out to be. Then tell me with a straight face that these people are predicting what the weather will be within 5 degrees (the magnitude of what we're talking about here) in 40 years. Bullchit.

You want to live longer, change the batteries in your smoke detector.

This is all politicians drumming up support by using something that's about a trillion times less likely to kill you than lack of exercise, smoking, car accidents, cancer, etc, etc, etc.
