Al has done an excellent job presenting the problem in a way that non scientists can easily understand.
The message has been politicised by others who want it presented as a partisian issue because they know that most folks don't trust politicians.

This is all true. But the message is lost for me a little when I consider that Al Gore himself has a $30,000 yearly gas and electric bill. And that is with cheap Tennessee TVA electricity at about .075/KWH. In August 2006 it is said he used over 22,000 KWH. I use about 250 KWH and the "average" household uses less than 1000 I think. He asks if we can change our ways. What about him?
