Amos,

"Conflating aerosols of sulf with carbon,"

Who has done that?????


You miss the point.

The CO2 is one greenhouse gas- Water vapor and methane are others that have greater effect. The coal fired plants that produce much of the CO2 also produce the aerosols that are providing cooling.

So what is it that Gore is concentrating on? CO2, and coal. The EFFECT is to ignore the other greenhouse gasses, and increase global warming by removal of the aerosols. IF G-W is not inevitable, Gore's actions are more likely to lead to it than just ignoring the problem- WHICH IS NOT what I have advocated, regardless of what you and others have said. IMO ( which I thought I was entitled to) there IS global warming, WHICH WE NEED TO ADJUST TO ( since IMO it is a factor of solar output, that we cannot control).

I think that Gore is pushing a flawed solution that will not work, will prevent the actual accomadation of GW, and will cost untiold lives in the next 50 years, which could be saved with a different course of action.


What Gore is pushing will cause more war and destruction than a dozen Bush presidencies.
