I have to give a slight caveat (though I think you had a good point overall). I hesitate to lend any credence to Gore or the carbon credit crowd.Originally Posted by Gloryhound
It's been a rough year for them, so I'll be nice... It snowed in Baghdad this year. Most of the icecaps are LARGER than they have been in recent years:

The most dangerous aspect of this whole topic are things like the Kyoto Protocol, which would cost us literally billions of dollars for 'future damage caused by carbon emissions.' (Incidentally, it specifically excludes China from paying anything, despite their being the largest producer of 'greenhouse gases' in the world.) So even if the whole thing was legit, why should we foot the bill?
The fact that about 15 minutes of research will show that temperature spikes PRECEDE carbon level spikes (and as Gloryhound said, are just cyclical) should be sufficient, but there is money to be made... Gore personally is now worth over $100 million thanks to his affiliation with 'green' companies.
