What do people think they know better than the majority of climate scientists?
Pure ol' commonsense for a start.....when you have the likes of Al Gore and his NASA funded buddy Hansen saying the things they do about those that have different views than they...what more does one need to question the AGW scam?
Where I come from....Scientific Law requires theories be proveable and result in the predicted results upon testing. That is not the case for current theories on AGW.
It is not doubting....it is just being unconvinced by the very Laws of Science that have existed for a very great many years.
When the AGW crowd can fully explain the Sun's effect on Planet Earth...and do so in accordance with the existing Laws on Scientific proof....then....and only then shall I "believe" what they have to say.
The "Science" is anything but settled no matter how the AGW crowd try to spin it!
By the way....whatever was the latest on the great Fat Ass....something about worrying so much about his carbon footprint that he bought a multi-million dollar beach side Mansion in California after getting his ass booted out by the Missus? Think about being so concerned about AGW...and having a 30,000 US Dollar per year (mine was 117 USD last month...) electric bill for his Mansion in Tennessee. Yes....we really have to worry about AGW if the saviours of the Planet act as does Al Gore!
Armed with Gore's utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.
"If this were any other person with $30,000-a-year in utility bills, I wouldn't care," says the Center's 27-year-old president, Drew Johnson. "But he tells other people how to live and he's not following his own rules."
Scoffed a former Gore adviser in response: "I think what you're seeing here is the last gasp of the global warming skeptics. They've completely lost the debate on the issue so now they're just attacking their most effective opponent."
Kalee Kreider, a spokesperson for the Gores, did not dispute the Center's figures, taken as they were from public records. But she pointed out that both Al and Tipper Gore work out of their home and she argued that "the bottom line is that every family has a different carbon footprint. And what Vice President Gore has asked is for families to calculate that footprint and take steps to reduce and offset it."
