Science is science and not everyone agrees on every aspect. I have not seen the film but to really fully make a cogent argument one must do all of the work for themselves - and NOT be reading just the side that happens to support your preconceived notions. It is not that Gore can prove every point - no one can -- you ERR on the side of caution when you don;t have all the facts.You can;t prove the ecvolution theory either but it's interesting how people want to chuck out the 98% damn well close facts in favour of the ZERO% evidence of Religious creationism mumbo jumbo.
And attacking Gore over certain points is quite amusing -- George Bush would not even be able to UNDERSTAND what the hell anyone is talking about AT ALL with relation to these topics -- whatever nets him the highest payoff is whatever is the right choice. Gore is a bit of Robot beancounter lack of personality type but he can at least string sentences together in a coherent manner.

well done, most expensive powerpoint in history.
To the unifromed and naive it makes a good case- if you can suspend belief that 200 years of burning fossil fuels can affect 200 million years of earth's existence.
...ever compiled by mankind before Gutenberg, your assertion becomes empty smoke (I am writing about the burning of that library in Alexandria, in the days of Julius Caesar...)And, to add salt to the wound, let me remind you that what makes the situation more worrying is that we, from our stupid, greedy behaviour, are just burning out, in a few years, what took millions of years to build up: an efficient way to remove CO2 from Earthīs atmosphere. Do you like the picture, once itīs been properly reframed?

of years before any human walked the earth? In fact most scientists widely assume huge forest fires- bigger than anything we have ever seen were quite common. As well as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and horrendous lightning strikes (which caused the fires).More ash and CO2 was released into the atmosphere during the prvios 200,000,000 years than we could ever possibly hope to accomplish in the next 200 years.

...which has been removed from the atmosphere, letting one mollecule of O2 free.And now we are simply reverting the process, while pumping heat at the same time...
Arenīt we smart?

But this joker doesn't have a leg to stand on. The forest fires is just grasping on straws, or is it tree trunks? Still, burning all the oil we can find is the equivalent of burning every last forest that ever lived (and within a very short period before natural cycles can intervene and even things out), because obviously not all of it is burned and a lot of it was just buried and composted. Also, how much of that biomass turned to oil is from animal matter that would rarely have burned before decomposing? Now, oxygen molecules, hmm, let me grap another cup of coffee.
