Comments on: Al Gore's New Campaign

Tells 60 Minutes That Doubting Global Warming Is Man-Made Is Akin To Believing Earth Is Flat

Al Gore ? I thught he was borrowing Mr. Cheney''s undisclosed location until after the Dem convention.
I''ve been looking for him. I''ve been concerned that I have been overusing my carbon quota all winter when I used my snow thrower to clear my driveway. I was hoping that he might be able to send one of his true believers over to shovel it by hand. We still have at least 4'' of snow around the house.

If this is global warming I''d sure hate to see it when the cycle reverses and we start to get global cooling as I''m sure we will.

Believing global warming exists is akin to believing Bill Clinton is not a sexual predator.

Al gore has been around the Clintons too long. He also seems to believe if you tell a big enough lie everyone will believe it. The sad thing is, many do believe him.

The earth is actually cooling... since 1998. Even the ocean temperatures are getting cooler.

No doubt CBS gave Gore 20 minutes of free commercial time.

Water vapor is the principle greenhouse gas. Every water vapor molecule absorbs four times as much IR energy from sunlight as every CO2 and there are 193 times as many water vapor molecules in air as there aer CO2''s. (3% of air is water vapor, but only 0.038% of air is CO2) The net heating effect of water vapor it 768 times that of CO2. Or, water vapor is responsible for 99.875% of all atmospheric heating. CO2 is utterly insignificant and man is minor source of it making only 3.22% of all CO2 every year.

The worst case scenario for global warming is extinction (ours) and the first response to impending death is denial. Once deniability is impossible comes anger the Cheney''s of the world will call down fire and brimstone on the heads of the bearers of bad news.Hopefully by the time we get to the barganing stage we will be able to to turn this mess around and save ourselves.

Maybe Al will suggest burning people at the stake that don''t agree with him viewpoint, a la the Spanish Inquisition. Oh wait, burning. Bad for the atmosphere.... that we can do more to be environmentally aware is certain. That ''without a doubt'' man is the driving force in today''s environment is past nutcase to the point of religious fanatic, Al.
