Yes, I agree with both of you. That there is an absolute pollution problem, and there is quite likely a climate change problem. I don't know where man-made global warming fits into it, but the argument has been co-opted badly.
Have you guys seen the two videos of people chasing Al Gore out of book signings? It happened last week in Colorado, and recently in Chicago. People are more than a little pissed about the Climategate Emails, and the way the Gore camp has been acting. It seems that none of the carbon tax ideas will do anything but create a worse "global marketplace" catastrophe of putting all manufacturing jobs in the places where they are allowed to do the most damage. We can already see what that kind of thinking and economic plan has gotten Mexico City. And that these carbon taxes might make Gore and his cronies very, very, very rich. For people that want to make real changes, and care about the ecosystems, this is beyond blasphemy from the (bullshit) leader of the movement.
Let us not forget that Al Gore conveniently left out what would be the most inconvenient truths about solutions to the pollution problems. As soon as he said "Shorter showers and fancy new light bulbs" I knew he was talking out of his ass. We the people use about 10-15% of the water, and corporations like agribuisiness use the rest. So if the corporations would use their share more wisely and efficiently, that would make for real change, whereas we can all take 5 second showers and the impact is negligible.
And then he started saying "Government legislation" and that is also bullshit. How can taxing carbon output (like when you breathe out) actually be a reasonable solution. It's petty and foolish and about as rife with possibility of misuse as possible. But let us remember, this is the same Al Gore they got to lose to GWB in a clear piece of electoral fraud, and then just fade away and not make too much stink.
I am sure that I will seethe when I read his quasi-spiritual take on it in the new book, as I am a believer in nature-faiths and the sacred feminine (both things I am gonna assume he will likely misuse horribly). I am sure to have a lot to say when I get around to stealing a copy.
But see the trick? The argument about man's impact on the planet and the necessity to maintain our natural world for our own survival is undeniable, but now what are your options? I support Cap and Trade, we need solutions, no matter how retarded. Or I support the full-out denial of climate change, all those animals are fine. But those are both wrong.
I love how the modern world frames these facts and opinions and choices. I see it so clearly, as the trap it is.
But yes, global warming, or man-made climate and ecospherical impact is very real, and Al Gore didn't make it so, not does the climategate hacks disprove it. Red herring! See it, a red herring!
Same old tricks.
