I think at one point in our history we really were messing up our environment. Having a river catch fire in the United States
is inexcusable. So I am not saying that our environment is not important, but come on. This is all a big ploy for more power
to the Feds. What I really hate is how people like Gore act like the USA is solely responsible for this "so called" Global
Warming... What about countries like China? They have like a zillion people and they all burn coal to keep warm. I firmly
believe that human energy needs and the environment can coexist without turning everybody into Algore.
Gore advanced essentially the same arguments that he has for years. He blamed global warming for the disappearing snows of Kilimanjaro despite the local weather stations recording no increase in temperature there.
He talked about extreme weather events, even though scientists acknowledge that the supposed increased incidence of such events is probably due to there being more people around to see them.
And he talked about the "boiling frog" syndrome, which is a total fiction since a frog can feel it is being boiled and will leap out of the pot when it gets too hot.
We have heard everything Gore said before, and for several years now. But the science and economics of climate change have changed since the mid-1990s, which is where Gore seems to be stuck.
