"But to do nothing, to not continue to study the climate, to not try to mitigate our enormous six billion body footprint, would be a complete and cruel betrayal of our own offspring. "

You presume I advocate doing nothing- Not true. I advocate dealing with the results of global warming, which IMHO will not go away as soon as the CO2 emissions are reduced, as the spokespeople for this issue keep telling me.

I have no problem with reducing CO2 emissions, provided that it is NOT claimed that will solve allour problems, as Gore and others have stated repeatedly. BUT WE NEED to deal with the real effects of global warming, as well- and THAT is what is being ignored.

Please show me ANY plans that Gore has proposed to deal with ANY of the aspects of global warming, besides pushing for the reduction of CO2 emissions. Yet, HE has the solution to the problem?
