This is one area where Crowhill and I agree: Scientists respond to Gore. On An Inconvenient Truth, apparently some Canadian climate experts think... let me get this right... "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic." Ouch!

I'm not an expert of course, but I still haven't seen anything to convince me that human activities are causing climate change on the earth. I suspect most of the people saying it have some kind of monetary interest in promoting it (for funding, book sales, etc.). On the other hand, there are compelling arguments to shoot down the theory. That doesn't mean I think everybody can drive Hummers spewing toxic gases into the atmosphere with impunity, but I don't think we're at the point where it's necessary to drop everything and spend billions to "save the planet" either. I think there's still plenty of time to develop those nifty electric cars. (Of course, then we'll probably all die from the electromagnetic radiation coming from our electric cars, much like we get cancer from power lines. It's kind of a no-win situation for us fragile humans, I think.)

I'd like to see An Inconvenient Truth sometime, but I probably won't until it comes around in a Netflix mailer. Then I'll heckle it mercilessly! At least until Mrs. Krehbiel kicks me in the head.
