An Inconvenient Truth

Quote

Paul Reiter has no axe to grind when it comes to climate change. Gore does .... Who is telling the truth?

Essan, I actually don't remember the mosquitoes in Narobi playing all that big of a role in An Inconvenient Truth, in fact, I have seen the movie twice and don't remember them at all in the movie.

Some of the science is a little off, in other parts, there was not, as yet, any firm scientific consensus but theory at the time pointed to global warming being responsible - the idea that global warming would bring on stronger storms, for instance. There is a case for that, but it has yet to be proven conclusively.

Overall, the danger of global warming is very real, and if the best the global warming skeptics can do is poke some holes in things here and there, well, fine, we've seen that story before. They did the same thing when it comes to evolution and it hasn't gotten them far with most sensible people.

Finally, does Gore have an agenda? You bet, just like the fossil fuel companies have an agenda of their own by trying to stop what he would ideally like to keep in place because it would cut into profits. At worst, Gore's agenda (even if global warming didn't exist) would lower our pollution levels on the planet. At best, it will stop the planet from going down a slide that it most likely wouldn't recover from for a long, long time.
