• because back in the day scientists thought that we were contributing a far larger portion of greenhouse gases to the environment that is actually true so the populous got brainwashed and kept being brainwashed for the last twenty years then Al Gore realized he had an entire generation of people scared to death of something that was happening but we weren%26#039;t causing so in other words no one would believe the disproving science because the best lies contain half truths. He then capitalized on this for his own monetary and political ambitions.
  
  Current temperature is the highest in 2000 years.
  %26quot;It can be said with a high level of confidence that global mean surface temperature was higher during the last few decades of the 20th century than during any comparable period during the preceding four centuries.%26quot;

  “The late 20th century has been unusually warm. Palaeoclimatic reconstructions show that the second half of the 20th century was likely the warmest 50-year period in the Northern Hemisphere in the last 1300 years.%26quot;
  
  Rush Limbaugh has never told the truth in his life.
• I finally got to watch his movie. Some great photography in the real parts.
  
  But it seemed, to me, he is trying to send us in the wrong direction. He pointed to a small rise in CO2 on one of his charts and said, this is all that separated the world from having a mile of ice over our heads in the past. Then he showed how we were moving AWAY from such a calamity and recommends we should move back TOWARD it. He prefers an ice age to a couple degrees warming!!??
  
  He makes no sense at all. None.
  
  Actually the very slight warming trend and the CO2 possibility were discovered and considered in the late 1940%26#039;s.. This is in Donald Piston%26#039;s book, %26quot;Meterology%26quot;. It deals with actual science and the physics of weather and climate and is a very credible resource. CO2 was ruled out right off the bat for this reason: There is enough water vapor to absorb all the re-radiated energy they are talking about, so....even if CO2 was zero, there would be NO difference. Except that if we get CO2 to zero life on the planet won%26#039;t be sustainable.
  
  Another thing I find strange is this: All the recommendations to %26quot;cure%26quot; global warming were begun in the late 1950%26#039;s and has been on track ever since. It was done for other economic reasons but it was done, never the less. In my small home town in New Hampshire we built a recycling center that needed no federal funds and paid its own way. We had close to thirty catagories forr waste. We separated, brown, green and clear glass, 4 or 5 types of plastics, newspaper, magazines, cardboard were all separated, wet garbage for composting, the screw on caps of milk jugs etc were separated, and old refrig could be dropped off for a minimal fee, metals were separtated into aluminum, steel and mixed, aluminum cans were by themselves. This was a lot of work for the home and for the town and we had it going 40 years ago and it is still being done today.
  
  In the 1970%26#039;s people tightened up their house at great expense to save fuel, people used bikes and scooters.
  
  If a miniscule drop in CO2 occurs in the near future it will be the result of projects like these that have been worked on for 50 years and NOT because of Mr Gore%26#039;s movie. But just as he took credit for the internet, I bet he will take credit for that also. I guess timing is everything. BTW the rudiments of the internet were designed and built in the late 1950%26#039;s. Reading, and thinking.
