The earth is warming, and that's a fact. The "inconvenient truth", is no matter how we lived our lives in the last 20 years, or how we live it in the next 50, has had very little impact. The Human effect to the earths temp was caused (at whatever level) before we knew we had any effect. Long before Mr BS himself Gore was born.

A lot of it we didn't cause, some of it we might have caused. But nothing we do will reverse it, and very little that we do will slow it down.

So in my opinion, the debate over how to combat it is moot. Additionally, all resources we put into trying to stop it is money lost. What we should be researching, is how to live in a world that's getting warmer.

On a side note, one major volcano exploding will release more carbon dioxide into the air then humans have ever produced. Luckily we have not had one go off like that in the last few thousand years, but it could happen today, tomorrow, next year. It would suck to spend trillions of dollars and totally change our way of lives to reduce our pollution expenditure, only to have it reversed in a day.
