He then needs to take his bitching and whining to China and India. Their pollution and green house emission trends are far worse than ours. If they don't do anything to control their output (and they have shown no interest in doing so), whatever we sacrifice will be meaningless and therefore pointless.

(And yes, I can name names, if you want). When I am shown that the majority of real scientists doubt global warming I will believe it. What does it take for you to change your mind? Just because the Tennessee voters do not believe in global warming (because Al Gore says it happens) does not mean global warming is a myth. You happen to make a fallacious argument (appeal to popularity). If the majority of the voters of Tennessee believe the world is flat do you also believe it? (And let's remember that only a few centuries back when the overwhelming majority of the people believed that) FV Mr TML,

There are other scientists - the kind who don't make their living writing articles for each other - who are not on that bandwagon. Gore is as far away from being a scientist as you can get. Nothing he says carries any weight with me or most other Tennesseans who are tired of listening to his crap.

That tells us a lot about the Tennessee voters... Last time I looked there were not a lot of scientists disagreeing about the facts of climate change. Maybe I should be tuning more often into that bastion of fair and balanced news, Fox News?
