Seeing as the earth has warmed and cooled a whole bunch of times all through history, how can you explain those "global warming" trends? No SUV's to blame back then. And the amount of crud spewed in a volcano dwarfs anything manmade.
The 4 good questions never asked:
1) Is there global warming? yes, it occurs and always will, as will cooling
2) Is the current trend abnormal from historical patterns (assuming for sake of argument it is warming now)? uh, no
3) Are human responsible? No again. Its been going on longer than we existed by far, plus it is occuring on Mars (explain that)
4) Assuming all of the above is true (it is warming abnormally and man is responsible), is it a bad thing? Global cooling causes everything to DIE. Warming creates prosperity in nature. In the middle ages grapes were grown in England and Greenland was farmed.
Don't listen to Al Gore, he is a clueless clown. Follow the money trail and you will see where his motivation come from.
With all that said, why is it we can't just come out and say we should stop polluting the atmosphere because ITS HARMFUL TO PEOPLE? Thats sound like a perfectly good reason to me. No need to make up bogus claims based on junk science.

The problem is we are affecting the natural carbon cycle. CO2 is also a gas that has known harmful affects. It traps heat. Producing less of it is not an idea that has no merit.
Our ultimate solution is hydrogen fuel. When the oil runs out, if in running it out we do not destroy ourselves via war and global warming, it wil be our next fuel. Burning hydrogen does not produce any biproducts, as far as I know. Given that, why are we not putting greater reseach efforts into it?
