You are confusing the message with the messenger. If Al Gore lived in
one 500 sq ft house and traveled around only by bicycle, many would this
frugal lifestyle further reason for ridicule.



Al Gore is his own reason for ridicule. His message is tainted,
undeniably, by the fact he has yet to demonstrate that he is _not_
one of those who says, "Do as I say, and not as I do." Until then we
will ignore him and others like him.

As long as we insist on being warm in the winter and also believe
that the earth can sustain increasing billions of human inhabitants
the problem will continue to grow -- only the rate might be changed
imperceptibly by anything we may try to do about it. It makes no
sense at all for 300,000,000 Americans to become tree-huggers if
5,000,000,000 Asians, Africans, and others are doing all they can to
increase their own material comforts, and with little or no regard
for the pollution that results.

Nature will take care of the problem, one way or the other. It is
our obligation only to see that we are the beneficiaries of the
natural course of events, and not its victims. That requires much
more science and far less dogma.
