Knowm, do you remember my reaction when I very first joined this site to your first thread on Al Gore? I said something along the lines of all politicians being out for themselves. This is true, because it is true of all of us. We are all intelligent beings and we do try and see into the future. Al Gore must have thought about himself even if he does feel strongly about the warming threat. It's human nature. Maybe immoral to point this out, but he still has an angle for himself. To be quite honest, I'd much rather he got into power. If he does as he says and gives us a cleaner Earth that is. Maybe Gore sees himself as a pioneer, maybe sees his name being underlined in history. Maybe this isn't such a bad thing.

The trouble is that the debate has now moved forward. There is no proof that man is responsible at all, and in fact it has been proven that Global Warming is a natural occurence that happens on a cycle. So there really is little we can do about the actual warming itself.

We do need a cleaner Earth, and this debate has moved us closer than ever before to trying to clean her up.
