The fundamental problem I have with Al Gore is that he does not practice what he preaches. His monthly electric bill is something like $1,200. He counters that he buys carbon offsets. This is meaningless to me. That's just a way for the rich to feel good without changing their lifestyle at all. In other words, let the poor suffer. I want my air conditioning.
While I believe in global warming, I do have a problem insomuch as global warming proponents have turned the debate into a moral crusade. This does not make for good science. There ought to be room for criticism and discussion without wielding th hammer of morality. It may be a moral issue, but the science should be separate from this.
