What are we going to do about the invoice from Paris-based IEA for $45 trillion to combat global warming? I know, we can use it to implement global governance, via Jacques Chirac at the Kyoto conference. That has been the purpose of the global warming Inquisition from the beginning. Is Al going to have give back his Nobel Peace prize, Academy and Emmy awards or will he just become a fiction movie producer?

Global warming and the sky is falling, And some think it is appalling, And they set their score with Gore. But most are made of stouter, wiser stuff, And they think it's only nature in the rough.

Again Pruden shows he lacks class. HIV/AIDS is not "the gift of the gays". What an idiot. Nothing like generalizing a certain group to suit your prejudices.

DuaneNoVA - you do realize that Pruden is the king of sarcasm, don't you? He was mocking alarmists who attributed HIV/AIDS to gays, and worried about and AIDS epidemic - he wasn't bashing gays!!!! Granted, I'm sure Pruden is no friend of gay rights, but if you can't pick up on his sarcasm here, you're pretty dense (hint - I don't think he's a PETA member, either). This is an interesting article. However, it hardly invalidates climate science. True - if we were in the upswing of a solar cycle, then a simple correlation between temperature and CO2 levels wouldn't on its own indicate global warming. HOWEVER, that's not the same as saying that CO2 is unrelated to temperature, and its not to say that CO2 buildup in the atmosphere (which is, in fact, unprecedented) won't cause changes in the future. We just don't really know.

The alarmists, all members of the Pagan Church of the Environment, must be outraged that folks like Pruden are getting wise to the scam. They had already been writing up their plans for spending that 45 trillion..... four engine jets, Lamborginis, hundreds of illegals per mansion to serve their every physical need..... and then there's their sex lives.... with trees, rocks, lizards and bugs.... one wonders if those creatures wear condoms, and if not, is the science 'settled' and 'ready' to handle the VD epidemics to follow?

Just wait. When the next solar cycle peaks and things heat up again, that will be all the proof we need to prove the naysayers like Coleman wrong. Global warming, I mean, climate change, is definitely man made. After all, until man came along, there wasn't even measurements. So who can deny it is man made. As in man made up.

Shouldn't we think about the debate on climate change as means to an end? Who knows what effect man has on the environment? Not me, and not any of you. Can't we agree though that releasing pollution into the environment at an ever-increasing rate isn't a responsible decision? And it's not just the U.S. India and China are putting up dirty coal plants every day and look how fast their populations and economies are growing. What end state are we moving to? Smog - that we breathe ... can't that cause health problems? Acid rain - that flows into lakes and rivers ... and our drinking water. Who knows what else the pollution is contributing to? It can't be good though. So, the point is, that regardless of whether man-made pollution is contributing to global climate change, it is making the earth less clean and more unsafe at unprecedented levels every day. So I'm happy if people believe that global climate change is happening - whether or not it is - because "don't pollute" isn't enough motivation for people to change their habits. But with the way that people stomp on the theory - yes, theory - that we may have an effect on the environment without thinking about the bigger issues ... to me that is alarming.

If you accept the premise that the earth has been around for about 4.5 billion years understand this:This little rock has had periods that were virtually ice free , and virtually frozen over.Now can anyone tell me what the CORRECT temperature for this planet is?No,not a one of you.Not one single person on this planet.For ANYONE to claim that THEY are correct is the epitome of arrogance.I'm all for reducing pollution,but I'm not for economic and national security disasters brought on by foolish policy.

Al Gore is an opportunistic jackass, who would gladly sell his mother into slavery for publicity and his ambition. He is not, never will be, nor ever has been anything approaching a scientist. He is a cheap politician, who deserves disdain in all things. tygseflrpd

Gore's household uses 17,768KWh per month compared to most of us at 11,040kWh per year. With his Generation Investment Management firm, Gore is poising himself to make millions from a carbon market created through his efforts to pass "cap and trade" legislation. Corporations would be forced to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and buy carbon credits. For those who think global warming measures will benefit in the long run read John Coleman's (founder of The Weather Channel) articles about how gas prices are high because the U.S. can't legally explore many oil rich areas (www.kusi.com/weather/colemanscorner/13681217.html) Food prices soar because grains are taken out of the food supply to create ethanol. "Boston", forty years ago we had smog and polluted waters but not so today. Where are you getting your "unprecedented levels" info? Abstain from McCain and get Obama

Here is a short bio on the prophet of Global (Doom) Warming.... Al Gore was often the smallest one in the crowd, a pint-size boy with dark hair and freckles who lived with his prominent parents in Suite 809 atop the Fairfax Hotel along Embassy Row. If this experience made him different from you and me, to borrow F. Scott Fitzgerald's phrase, it was not from being rich, but rather from being apart. He grew up in a singularly odd world of old people and bellhops, separated from the child-filled neighborhoods of his classmates at St. Albans and further still from his summertime pals at the family farm in Tennessee.

Good old Pruden. He calls a spade a spade! Would that he would expand the public knowledge on the persona of climate changers for it is a leftover collection of radicals; marxists, socialists and other anti-warliberals who detest capitalism and want to undo our Constitutional Republic. Already Algore and his ilk have exposed themselves by advocating the rewriting of our Constitution to do away with the safeguard of the Electoral College, then declaring the rights of citizenship for ragtag terrorists who have attacked us and now trying to nationalize our refineries. They just don't get it! WHAT CHANGE?????? The only success of socialist government is screwing up one car funerals!

you sir, are an idiot. i suggest you get outside out of your ivory tower. when there's no ice at the north pole and winter skips spring to 100 degrees in may (w/no april showers), when we are losing species at an accellerated rate- your answer ? drill fill preudo bay with oil slicks when the krill is all gone will you sell your s.u.v. and buy a survivor kit ? i'm sure you and your rich buddies will hardly feel the effects while whole groups of people whose ecosystems we've raped at their expense will feel sorry for you losing 10 % of your stocks. here's a clue most people are not rich most people (even here in america) could care less about wall street you sir are a greedy idiot
