The clip I am refrenceing is computer animation, not real. The polar bears are also computer generated.Also, Al Gore is not a scientist and has never really represented the scientific community before. Especially when he could have been of the most help during his vice presidency or shortly after it.
If the issue is so real and so vital to understand now, then why the fake images. With this kind of revelation it does weaken the case for global warming to the average person.

Gengi - Gore is no Hawking!4 months ago
Lover of Truth - I do not think you have looked at all the evidence yourself. Just what you want to see. Mankind bringing down his own downfall. You are about as qualified to discuss Freud as Gore was to discuss global warming.Posted by Marc Morano - Marc_Morano@epw.Senate.Gov - 1:34 PM ET Senate Environment %26amp; Public Works Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have proposed the %26quot;Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act%26quot; aimed at combating climate change. The proposed partisan bill (S.309) is supported by another 15 senators, including: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY); Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL); Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-CT); Sen. Joseph R. Biden (D-DE); Sen. Daniel K. Akaka (D-HI); Sen. Russell D. Feingold (D-WI); Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI); Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA); Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ); Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-VT); Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ); Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI); Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI); Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD), and Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD). FACT: A new MIT study concludes that the Sanders-Boxer approach would impose a tax-equivalent of $366 billion annually, or more than $4,500 per family of four, by 2015. And the annual costs will grow after 2015. [Read full MIT study] The Kyoto Protocol would have imposed an equivalent tax of $300 billion a year, 10 times the size of the Clinton-Gore tax increase of 1993. In addition to the MIT study, a new Congressional Budget Office study released recently, details how a carbon cap-and-trade system would result in massive wealth redistribution from the poor and working class to wealthier Americans. [Read more on CBO study] Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), EPW Ranking Member, said today:
%26quot;Carbon caps would artificially and needlessly raise the cost of energy the most on the people least able to afford it. It astounds me that any Senator could support such a proposal.%26quot;

Global Cooling and Climate Cycles
The exploitation of climate science for purely political goals has been occurring throughout the developed world for years. Not long ago, in the 1970s and 80s, many %26quot;climate experts%26quot; claimed certainty and consensus about global cooling. However, there is nothing especially unusual about the current weather and climate changes. In fact it is generally within long-term normal patterns.

Carbon Dioxide .....dangerous?
Humans add to the green house gas concentration by exhaling, harvesting plants, and generating and releasing energy for our homes, cars, factories, etc. All of these actions involve hydrocarbons such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Carbon dioxide is not a byproduct or a pollutant but the intended result of energy production. The more efficiently one combusts hydrocarbon, the more CO2 one produces. For this reason, those who are that %26quot;energy efficiency%26quot; is the solution to global warming are wrong.

Tax Increases
Americans are about to be hit with a $1.3 trillion tax increase if Al Gore and his radical climate alarmists push succeed in their agenda. Hundreds of millions of dollars are being pushed to create the largest expansion of government power in our nation%26#039;s history. This massive tax scheme could cripple the economy and allow bureaucrats to tax air.

Killing Our Economy?
Spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year to %26quot;fight%26quot; global warming just doesn%26#039;t make sense, and is more likely to ruin economies of first-world nations than make any significant impact.- Roy Spencer, author of Climate Confusion: How Global Warming Hysteria Leads to Bad Science, Pandering Politicians, and Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor, says that there is nothing we can do--short of shutting down the global economy.

With every mainstream scientific organization around the world with the same position, you are on the defensive. Y/A provides deniers with a nice little forum to express your frustration with reality. This is your last refuge, for scientific and public opinion is decidedly against you.
Liss - there is a ladder leading up and out of the rabbit hole. You can climb it to escape, but be aware that reality is at the top.
Answer hidden due to its low rating
I think it%26#039;s no more important than the fact that he used animated polar bears instead of real ones. The neocons need to discover that politics is not a game of trivia.
