The whole global warming thing in my opinion is a hoax.

You need to inform yourself. Have you seen Gore's movie yet?

Pretty cool. I love how he's been responding to the scientists who
claim he misquoted them in the movie. In essence, he said he isn't
smart enough to understand the actual specifics of climate change but
he believes he got the essence of the meaning across. You got to hand
it to him, he's taken himself from a totally washed up has-been to
front page news with this industry. I"m still waiting to hear him tell
us how we are also causing the global warming that is happening on
Mars.


Interview with Gore that appeared (May 2006) in a publication called Grist:

Q: There's a lot of debate right now over the best way to communicate about
global warming and
get people motivated. Do you scare people or give them hope? What's the
right mix?

Go I think the answer to that depends on where your audience's head is.
In the United States
of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the
Category 5 denial is an
enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in
solutions if they don't
think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is
appropriate to have an overrepresentation of factual presentations on how
dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to
what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve
this
crisis.
