IRex was kidding you guys, climatology is a branch of science which has been around longer than "An Inconvenient Truth".
Also, editorials do not equal fact.

The Telcontorian, I'd watch that, but I'm not on a computer with sound at the moment.

Yes, I fail to understand this loathing of Al Gore. There seems to be an informal yet orchestrated campaign from the Right to besmirch his reputation (e.g. that story about his house was cooked up by some right-wing "think-tank"; or should that be "knee-jerk-reaction-tank"?)
Talk about shooting the messenger. |

Eh, maybe he's loathed because he's got double standards. Like using immensely more energy than the average American. Oh, wait-I forgot. He's a politician, so of course he's entitled to use more energy than the average American. We just have to work harder to stop purported Global Warming, that's all.
Another interesting thing to note...the entire Solar System is going through a period of warming. c.f., Mars' icecaps melting, ice on Pluto melting, etc. So...either lots and lots of aliens aren't taking care of their respective planets' climates, or we're not really causing Global Warming after all...

I still don't see what Gore's energy consumption has to do with the validity of global warming. *shrugs* Maybe it's an American thing?

Planets, I may add, that are sometimes fundamentally different from ours and of which probably only Venus has the right atmosphere for green house effect, so there's hardly any basis to compare. We're only scraping the surface -literally even- of other planets, so we have precious little scientific data to go on. For all we know those planets are warming and cooling every 50 years, before we had eyes up in the sky. Also, there is no reason why their warming can not be totally different from the climate change we're experiencing.

I would guess that it IS appropriate for a politician to use more energy than an average person. Wouldn't you say? |

Great Global Warming Swindle - a documentary on global warming
This documentary on global warming is amazing. First aired on channel 4 in england it gives the history of the global warming debate and the actual reasons why the earth is warming up, ie the sun. Facts, fact, facts.

Nope. Try lies, lies, lies.
It was basically a rehash of the same old discredited nonsense. Quote:

Hey, I don't really care if he has a huge house that consumes more energy than Godzilla in a mega-mansion; it's that he calls for everyone else to cut down. Ironically it was recently found that George Bush's Crawford home is very eco-friendly and energy conserving. http://www.off-grid.net/index.php?p=680 Quote:
Let's talk about the models which predict all dire doom: I have heard that these kind of models always exaggerate. If we were going through a particular cooling spell, wouldn't those models predict that we were going to freeze? Also I'd like to hear more of what the greenhouse gases actually do when they're in the atmosphere.

Ah, if only Al Gore would do the eco-friendly thing: stay at home and keep his mouth shut. Oh, and btw, the "info" about his lifestyle has been shown to be an outright smear by right-wingers.
Earniel's point is completely valid: making an argument by analogy with other planets doesn't hold any water at all. Computer models are notoriously inaccurate; if they were the only basis upon which the IPCC review was based, I would be extremely sceptical. However, when you've got lots and lots of different models all saying more or less the same thing, and lots and lots of observational evidence which make the same conclusion, and (increasingly) lots and lots of observational evidence which validate the predictions of the models, then you've got to start taking things seriously. As for greenhouse gases, Wiki will suffice: Quote:
Most of the man-made greenhouse gases are CO2, which has been observed to correlate with increases in global mean temperature. Water vapour isn't affected by human activity but, worryingly, an increase in temperature leads to an increase in water vapour, leading to further increases in temperature.
