  These libs are such sadsacks, always -- like Joe Blztpflk (sp?) -- walking around with a raincloud over their heads and yelling at the rest of us to get under it.

  Thanks for the article, by the way!

    Gore may have some resonant justification for eco-concern because of his 'wood-en' demeanor. BTW, the hippo beat the croc in their simulated one-on-one encounter on Mutual of Omaha's TV program: croc escaped with life but part of tail missing. ~AH

  ... chiefly the loading up of the atmosphere with carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels."

  Leaving aside this man´s poor understanding of how plagues propagate, and on how interdependent animal species, and plants, are, their life cycles being so tightly interwoven..., and how our lives depend on both, then it´s not the worst article I´ve read. Lacking any rigour, but not blatantly lying...

  On the matter of the intrinsically cinematographic qualities of that film, he probably is right: I haven´t seen it, but his description seems to fit with the way most propagandistic films are made. And this film was made as an attempt to make people aware of the not so long in the future consequences of irresponsible, stupid, bratty, greedy behaviour.

  All in all, not that unbalanced...

  Thanks for bringing it here.

  Regards

  BF

  Conclusion of the article:

  No matter what point you make, whoever's got the money, we want to the freedom to make more of it whichever way we want, future be damned.

  If you read down in the article (actually, skip all the pseudo-science stuff and go straight for the policy -- if GW is not true, then why the discussion on policy anyway? -- just more contradictory argumentation), Gore's recommendation are not even sufficient to avert major climate change events. Well, hello: 1. It is not going to be easy. and 2. Every little bit does count, and a lot.

  This is your introduction to 'libertarian' economic thought. Argue circles around anything, with ciruclar arguments, but make sure the top 1% get to bilk the rest of all their government, ownership and prosperity, not to mention to democracy.

  You see, you should know better than to parade partisan websites as a source of unbiased analysis.
