John,

No person here has even mentioned the multi university study recently completed on ocean floor currants in the arctic area. This study has some very interesting aspects. The single most important one is that these studies almost certainly state that the global warming that we are seeing is caused by cyclical changes in ocean floor currants and are periodic. They have absolutely nothing to do with man made tall stories!!!! Al Gore is a total idiot and so are the people affectionately known as environazis but the worst are the trained scientists who sell their credibility to the highest bidder and mock the name they call themselves. SHAME SHAME SHAME !!!!!!!!!!!! Wasting your time on this global warming debate is  like so lame.

Good point about the Mars comparison and it also counters Gore's simplistic "fact": "It’s the carbon dioxide." Climate and planetary atmospheres provide complex systems for us to study, though Gore seems ready to draw unscientific conclusions to boost his political agenda. “Mars atmosphere is 95% C02, that’s true; but, Mars’ atmosphere is also 1/9000th the density of Venus, so there’s no place to store the heat.”

An atmosphere is needed to trap heat and thus warm the planet. So Prof. Al's comparison of the two planets is unscientific at best, probably better described as junk science. And this "We are 10 years from a tipping point" is another example of junk science. Ignoring the fact that this claim has been made for several years now (so are we ten years away or seven? or five?)...if true, then what is the point of switching to hybrid cars, the Kyoto accords, etc. to combat this pending doom? Heck, we have seen 150+ years of carbon spewing industrialization, so rock concerts, "eco-friendly" cars (what they grow them on trees?) and solar panels on 10,000 sq ft mansions will, applying a little critical thought, do nothing to stop us from reaching the so-called tipping point that is a mere 10 years (or less to believe Al) away.

A little checking into your "sources" finds out they quote opinions from non-scientists or omit the larger truths outlined in the very studies they cite. It is becoming more and more certain that climate warming exists -- just ask the EXPERTS what they think. Doesn’t anyone do their homework anymore?
