hed said: The warming of the planet is the single greatest threat to not only our species but indeed all that share the planet with us, and any discussion about is energy wasted when it should be directed at solutions. So that's all I'm saying on the topic.
You are a great example of what "they" want you to be. volunteer to help collect the "save the planet" tax and you will get a free arm band with a neat logo on it.

SKH, you must see this planet as a great big cesspool or something?? the vast majority of the cancers we have are the result of people polluting their own bodies, voluntarily.
further, Gore's "way" doesn't alleviate the issue of people being mortal, we will all die someday. when boiled down, he proposes nothing that we aren't already doing. his approach does however cause people to suffer very high costs of fuel, and therefore food, power, etc. he has no clue what he's talking about with these huge cuts in consumption, no clue at all.
he wants to dabble in environmentalism, that's great, we all need a hobby, but he needs to shut up and let the professionals handle the environment. he is a hobby activist, he didn't go to school to study ecology or anything even related to it, he's a politician and that's all he will ever be. anyone giving him credit for anything more is terribly mistaken.
