No problem, it's public knowledge.Let's assume everything is true about Gore.
It's not his behavior, it's the other scientists who refute the 'supposed data' he is using.Why is one non-scientist's behavior somehow proof that the science behind it is made up?
No comparison, because the CHURCH is God's and the Global Warming is debate among fallible humans.Does that mean if I can find a Catholic behaving like an idiot, I can conclude that Church is completely wrong?
And yet every time I see a list posted of these scientists they either:It's not his behavior, it's the other scientists who refute the 'supposed data' he is using.
No comparison, because the CHURCH is God's and the Global Warming is debate among fallible humans.
Let's say that global warming doesn't exist (theoretically--of course it does).
Even if we don't have environmental reasons for conserving and finding alternative energy sources, we have economic and peace-related reasons.
1) the Middle East will continue to be a threat as long as we continue to fund it lavishly with our oil purchases. Its power to threaten us is directly proportional to the amount of money it has to do so. And so if we can find alternative sources of energy and oil drops down to $50 a barrel--rejoice--we've struck a huge blow to terrorism.
2) Despite all the moaning about the exorbitant cost of solar panels, the fact exists that the price drops proportionately with mass production. And once solar and wind energy units are paid for, there is virtually no overhead.
So, yeah, pretend global warming doesn't exist, stick your head in the sand (remember sand's hot when the weather is) but recognize that our dependence on foreign oil is bad for other reasons--and do something about it.
Keep dreaming, Fantine. Global Warming is only a hoax.

I link to loads of scientific research (the peer reviewed kind) discussing global warming, and you post this?????????????
Prove it.
Heck no I'm not against people making money. Just seems kind of 'odd' how much Al Gore made off global warming. By the way, according to scientists, in the next few years we are prone to have more hurricaines, much like the 1950s.
Yes, I post this!!!!!!!!
Why? Because of equilibrium. Look it up.
Janice
What do you mean by equilibrium? If what you are saying is true, then there should be peer reviewed research to support it. I've posted the data and research to support my position...now show me yours.
Well, equilibrium is what the world does to balance herself. Have you noticed it?
When I do dishes I put water into the sink. The water doesn't get higher in one spot than it does in another. That is equilibrium.
When the temperatures get warmer in the summer, the temperatures get colder in the winter. Equilibrium.
When the world is out of balance, equilibrium gets it back in balance.
The world may get warmer, but that is just a phase the world goes through. It has been through that phase before.
I don't trust all scientists. Not because I think they cheated in school, which I don't. But because they could easily have an agenda. It also depends on who was paying for the scientists to do the study.
And, I trust in God to keep me safe.
Janice
It's a natural cycle
God trusted in us to take care of the planet and use our God-given talents to do so.
and it's kind of funny to me that those who say they don't trust the 97% of climate scientists that accept climate change, seem to trust the remaining 3%, many of whom are funded by companies that have a vested interest in denying climate change. If you think it's all the money, who has the greater interest to protect?
I'm sorry for editing a post after you had already composed your reply, but I did talk a bit about the definition of equilibrium in the edited version to try and understand what you are describing. Might be worth looking at.
