"What Al Gore has set out to do is what scientists are not very good at - raising public awareness and instigating political action that would lead to remedies of the impending danger to all life. As such, there is no higher morality than preservation, continuation and betterment of all life on our planet. There is no higher or nobler cause. We should be thankful to Al Gore for his dedication to a cause that would not just improve conditions on our planet for us, but for generations to come."

You stated this so eloquently, Hume. I am in complete agreement and appreciate that you've posted other comments re: Keeling, scientific research and evidence, and facts. With dedicated people like you, Mr. Gore, the IPCC and other notable environmental groups, we may stand a chance of halting, then reversing the damage we humans have done.

I see censorship is alive and well hear on HuffPo.

All of my comments earlier in the day were deleted.

It's nice to know that liberals don't believe in free speech, they only believe in free "liberal speech".

i would personally like to thank the huffpo censors who were on duty sometime between last night and this afternoon for censoring and scrubbing EVERY single comment i made to this thread in the wee hours of the morning. my comments concerned the high cost of energy, the fact that the energy industry commits illegal acts daily in order to fix prices, something they are specifically forbidden to do by law. evidence of this was presented to the public a couple of years ago in the form of a memo between conoco phillips and bp that was leaked to the press by someone inside the companies. my comments were germane to the topic that was being discussed by those of us who were awake at that hour, contained no profanity, and what is more, appeared to have been accepted at that time -after- having been vetted once by the "moderators," because they did in fact appear on this thread. i abided by every one of the rules, went through the process of "this comment is pending approval and won't be displayed until it is approved," saw my comments put up on the thread, and now today it is as though they never existed. some of the comments related to mine have also vanished into thin air.

what on earth made them decide to simply take them away today is a complete mystery. but then, blatant censorship doesn't require logic or fairness, now does it?

Instead of this high flying glossy alleged "climate change campaign" Gore should go to Kansas and post his position in agreement with the Kansas Governor regarding stopping a 1,000 megawatt coal fired facility from being constructed. He should do the same regarding Iatan II in Missouri and any proposals for new coal fired plants. The $300 million climate change campaign would have more impact if aimed at specific future coal plants

Notice to the censors on Huffpo: These threads become awfully boring once all the interesting stuff is deleted, leaving the brats to post their inane "nyah nyahs" at each other. I see perhaps 5 constructive comments here. What happened to the others?

This Earth Day, Professor Richard Lindzen, an atmospheric physicist and the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT, wants you to calm down. The Earth, he says, is in good shape." . . A leading critic on the theory of man-made global warming, Professor Lindzen has developed a reputation as America's anti-doom-andgloom scientist. And he's not, he says, as lonely as you might think.

(etc etc, too long to post here but I loved the last part)

Q What do you find to be the attitude among your MIT undergraduates on global warming?

A I find that they realize they don't know enough to reach judgments. They all realize that Gore's book was a sham. They appreciate that Michael Crichton at least included references.

Q That's encouraging. Because I find the indoctrination at schools to be pretty relentless. On a recent Grade 7 test my daughter was asked something to the effect of, "How are you going to educate your parents about global warming?"

A I know. It's straight out of Hitlerjugend.

Q Having said that, are there any behaviours we should be changing, as a society, in order to protect our planet?

A Yes. We should learn math and physics so we don't get fooled by this idiocy.

Did all the liberals here check in with master soros and get the talking points for the day?

All hail the great Goracle

Everyone hear that thinks this is the first time the earth has warmed like this is a fool. The earths climate goes in cycles. Anyone here ever read about the ice age?????????? What is gore's plan?
Is he going to keep the earth at a stable temperature for the rest of this planets life?? This is a rediculous politically driven joke.

Why doesn't somebody with access to Al Gore ask him this one simple question:

DON'T YOU THINK YOU COULD BE A MORE EFFECTIVE ADVOCATE FOR SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?

You know whats funny... most of you same people are complaining about gas prices... then you wonder why?

How much of Gore's great plan involves us using his carbon erasing services for a fee?

And how come we never talk about Mother Nature's solution to CO2, trees?

THIS YEAR, 2008, a MAJOR new development in the politics of global warming has occurred that, to date, I am unaware of Gore and other mainstream figures significantly addressing.

Jim Hansen, arguably the LEADING climatologist on global warming in the USA for the last 20+ years has concluded that not only is 80% reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, the goal espoused by mainstreamers such as Gore, Pelosi, etc. but even the far more ambitious goal of net "carbon neutrality" by 2030 set by Norway (but criticized for its loopholes).

Hansen has revealed that today, with atmospheric CO2 at 385 parts per million is already past the "tipping point" for melting the arctic ice in summer, with a feedback loop due to the fact that, as polar ice melts, the sea absorbs more heat that would be reflected by snow and ice, thus increasing warming and feeding a vicious cycle.

IN SHORT, NOTHING SHORT OF A REDUCTION FROM CURRENT LEVELS OF CO2, requiring NET NEGATIVE emissions of GHGs GLOBALLY and very soon, can get the world to a relatively safe and sustainable 300-350 parts CO2 per million (assuming no massive increase in other GHGs like methane, released by thawing tundra). NET NEGATIVE GHG EMISSIONS ASAP is the "inconvenient truth" that activists need to press on Gore and other mainstream figures, so that they stop advocating catastrophically INSUFFICIENT solutions to the global warming crisis.

I see that science fiction movie "the inconvenient truth" did not work. So much for that multi million dollar infomercial

"I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view. They’re almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the earth is flat. That demeans them a little bit, but it’s not that far off," Gore said.

That Al Gore dismisses those who disagree in this manner discredits him.

The following doesn't read like what is expected from flat-earthers nor those who believe that Apollo was staged.
