Can you see the logic? Pay a carbon tax and you 'save' the planet. Oh yeah. That makes sense.
Sure, and when the earth/sun cycle eventually plays out, they'll say "WE Did It!"
Or find a new scam. Water, food, oil, radiation, internet blogs?

If you think Al Gore is a champion for fighting against global warming, take a look at this link! He's in it for the money, folks, and here's the proof.
The link you provide compares GW Bush's house and Al Gore's house.
It does not prove "he's in it for the money". It proves he's a hypocrite and that's it.
If you wish to discuss science and reason please use science and reason in your arguments.

Lets see here, Ill try and break this down into science and reason for you....
Al Gore cares SO-O-O-O much about the environment, that hes willing to make the hard sacrifices of spending only a mere $2400.00 a month on electricity and nat. gas, instead of his normal $3400.00. He has made so much money off of DUPES that buy into his garbage, so he can afford to scale his mansion needs back a little bit, thus reducing his carbon footprint.
Give us a break man, if this guys lies were a rattlesnake, it would have bit your a** by now. How bout this.... Lets take a step back and look at the bigger picture here.
Al Gore is making a very good living from his environmentalist work, right? Dont you think if he cared so much about what he believes is ruining our planet, that he himself would make the changes in his lifestyle to 'do his part?' Im sorry, but if he really believed his own words he wouldnt live like he does.
Yes, this makes him a hypocrite, but it also shows his personal feelings on the subject of global warming. If thats not enough proof for you that hes only in it for the money, then you must be waiting for the only other thing that could prove it. Which would be....He holds a press conference and tells everyone, "I dont really care about the environment, its a money making scheme."
Heres your sign man.

Brand new here and already sounding sooooo arrogant and perhaps elitist, if you read the rest of bimbo's post. Otherwise, it was just a classic "shoot the messenger" deflection attempt.

I have not yet taken the pill that makes me believe whatever any 74 year old former "At the hop" bandstand master says on the Internet about climate change.
I'm sure that will come in time, as it apparently has to you.

It has gone from 280 ppm from the pre-industrial era to 387 ppm today!
We're talking 387 parts of CO2 out of 1,000,000! (.41 hundredths of one percent)
No, we are talking 38.21% increase in CO2 level in the atmosphere since the pre-industrial age.
You call 38.27% increase "a mere rise?"

Bimbo,
Welcome to ATS.
Thanks, I'm starting to get it.
So once you debunk something, dozens more posters pile on responding to the headline only, having never read anything in the actual thread?
Wow, it's like some odd writers guild in WarCraft where reading is forbidden.
I heart the Internet.

And JUST like I said, gas will now go to $4 a gallon until Democratic control.
Oh, that happened already and OPEC got scared and it went down again?
JUST LIKE I SAID.

No, in reality (you should visit once in a while), gas prices went up $.07 in the first 4 days of the BHO administration, and are still rising.

They make adult diapers for that.
Of course, they take a thousand years to biodegrade, but that should give you enough time to learn that climate change isn't just about warming, it's about extremes.

There are no hundreds of thousands of scientists who disagree with this, only some looney from some random station who founded a weather channel that has no association with him any more - and these are the scientists you rely on.
Here is a challenge - go a find some CREDIBLE scientists from some CREDIBLE institutions and present their findings on this issue.
Stop dragging up loooons as evidence, its worse than having to debate creationists......

I studied a lot of Howard Becker in school and while my studies critically reviewed much of his work, i still found it to be more along my own disposition. I also think Gore read some of it and really took this idea to heart.
