Well, Ebbie, given the fact that I do honestly believe that the theory Al Gore is espousing regarding the proportionate effects of human-produced CO2 on global warming is incorrect....

And I believe so based on scientifically reported data that I have read, not on the basis of any prior hostility toward Al Gore (whom I always liked WAY better than George Bush)...

Given my honest beliefs about the matter, it leaves me (though not you) wondering...did Al Gore deliberately lie?...or was he simply not fully understanding the situation regarding CO2?

Why would I not wonder that? After all, like I said, I've always liked Al Gore. I would much prefer to find out that he was honestly mistaken than that he is consciously lying to the whole world. And, yes, I'd like to know.

Regarding Al Gore's truthfullness...we may never know. But regarding CO2 and its proportionate effects on global warming, I think we will know eventually in a conclusive manner, by which time the powers that be will probably be trying to scare us silly with something else entirely...they are not going to rest on their laurels when it comes to that. There's always a new scare tactic in the works.

The reason you can't identify with my concerns about Al Gore and his theory is simply that you've bought that theory, and I haven't.
