Do i believe that we MUST reduce waste, use less oil, come up with alternative fuels, recycle, etc. OF COURSE! but i am not naive enoough to think that the world is going to severely change in the next 100 years like the liberal media, Gore and the like, lead some to believe.
ETA: I am an Independent.
I agree with your POV. as for Gore... here's a quote from Glenn Beck who I happen to think is a brilliant writer.
"Despite the media's one-sided view (the Business and Media Institute says dissenting voices about global warming are outnumbered on CBS News broadcasts by a 38 to 1 ratio), only 21 percent of Americans say "the release of greenhouse gasses is the most important factor causing global warming" according to a 2007 New York Times/CBS News poll.
The "60 Minutes" piece wasn't just filled with misrepresentations of opinion; it had plenty of Gore-style hypocrisy. He was embroiled in controversy when it was revealed his mansion used 20 times more energy than the average American. His explanation? "Since then" his house has been retrofitted with solar panels. I'm sure Eliot Spitzer hasn't been renting many women since he was caught either. (Although I'm not betting my life on it.)
We then see footage of Gore's parents' farm that will, sometime in the future, be run on wind power. Apparently, the windmill store has been out of stock for the past 20 years.
The entire "60 Minutes" piece felt like a commercial for Gore's upcoming commercials. He's spending $300 million in advertising to convince people of something he claims there is already a consensus on. To put that much money into perspective; it's more than Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. John Edwards, Sen. John McCain, former Gov. Mike Huckabee and Rep. Ron Paul raised in all of last year combined. Think of it as going green by getting lots of green.
Where is all that money coming from? Gore says he's donating his profits from "An Inconvenient Truth," and his Nobel Peace Prize cash award. Let's be generous and say there's only $290 million left to explain. Apparently, a follow-up question to find the origins of this nine-figure sum would have involved six seconds that "60 Minutes" wasn't willing to commit.

so WHAT!!!!???
since Al Gore's house isn't up to snuff, yours shouldn't be either.
don't follow their example, EVER.
do what factgs show is right. END FO STORY!
money spent on commercials isisnt going in his pocket so I dont understand why anyone is acting liek that money is a profit?
Why would the man make it up? Or even exagerrate? Why would he waste his time goign to the Poles in -30 degree weather to make a buck? Im sure he could find a better way no?
I think this arguement is silly.
Facts can and cannot be disputed, simply as that.
I think the FACTS in that movie are whats important, not who made it and how he lives

This is what I can't understand when people make an argument AGAINST global warming - why wouldn't anyone make it up? What could possibly be the motivation?

take it easy
you have a right to speak your mind, as does everyone else.
my point is: Al Gore = hypocrite/self preservation. he wouldn't give a rats butt if there wasn't anything in it for him. people referenced his book, so I gave my opinion on him. end of story

again...whats his motivation?
He was given the Noebl peace prize?
Did he con all them ?
This arguement you have seems not backed up by any facts?
I think opinions on a person should be left behind.
I HATE George Bush but I can name a few good things he has done and appreciate it.
