Great post. I am agnostic on the issue. It may be that man does have some effect on the plant. To what extent, even the most brilliant scientists do not really know.
It is a good thing to increase fuel mileage and use less fuel. It is a good thing to individually try to do things to lessen our impact on the planet. That having been said, Algore is out of his freaking mind. And I refuse to take the advice of a hypocritical SOB who gives a stirring global warming speech at the Sierra Club Summit and then gets driven to the airport by his chauffeur in a Cadillac Escalade, the most powerful SUV on the planet.

Well worth reading the rest of the article, just for the references and point-by-point refutation.

Regardless, one way or another, warm or cold, a simple, more pressing problem goes unaddressed.
Drainage!
Most of our "flooding" is directly related to how we "develop" land.
Every square inch converted to human use created many times that much more loss of water absorbency.
Simple mandated adaption, caverns under parking lots, etc., already in use in some places, could prevent the growing flood effect much cheaper than the tax burden of clean-up.

Does anyone know how Weird Al responds at his slide presentations if he is asked about solar activity's influence on the Earth's climate?

I plotted up the "Mann" data last week and put a linear regression through it. There is so much year to year fluctuation that spotting a trend is nearly impossible. It's also very dangerous to extrapolate more than a few percent beyond one's data.
That being said, the US would be alot better off if we didn't have to import oil.

Prof. Paul Reiter of the Institut Pasteur in Paris described the movie as "pure, mind-bending propaganda." "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak they are pathetic... I do not see Dean Baquet nor Bill Keller publishing this. Do the People not have the right to know?

Now you're in my area. turn cornfields and woodland into roofs and parkinglots, and you're shoving water downhill faster. Add in the tree huggers and Gubmint Greenies in the NRCS, DNR, Army Corp of Engineers, EPA, and Dept's of Environmental Management, they make it near to impossible to keep existing ditches, creeks, streams, and rivers clear of downed trees and obstructions.

yes - the world is "warmer than it has been in 400 years!"
Well, just damn, If all those SUV drivers had been stopped back then and the politicos had instituted Kyoto 400 years ago, we wouldn't be going through another of nature's cycles now. /double s

... managed run-off,
And yet, many private institutions and corporations understand and manage to create well managed areas (in terms of flood control).

One freeper on another thread posited to the effect, "There were not many humans or SUVs when the great Ice Age abated and glaciers receded from as far south as Ohio."
That in itself is more than logical to explain algore is a total moron...and that's an insult to morons!

Wow, I am in *SHOCK* that the MSM would totally and completely misrepresent a scientific finding!
Are you saying that they may actually have an agenda??

One wonders why people would want to believe this crap? Not just those who want to grab power, those that have substituted socialsim with environmentalism, but you've got to be a freaking idiot to ignore the facts.

I wonder if the global warming people
knew that the temperature was going to rise over a period of time, as it does in the earth's normal cycles.
Then, armed with their knowledge of "global warming," they rushed to put the blame on Western civilization and to use guilt and scare tactics to get everyone stirred up about something that would have occurred naturally anyway.

Funny, we said the same thing when he was running for President and again when he was trying to steal the election in Floridah.
