I've read where cows and other animals emite more emissions than cars...
Of course we can eat the animals. We need cars

I'm with you on this...
I loved The Inconvenient Truth. The thing is, it would be really simple to reverse a lot of the damage if we all did some few basic things and if corporations were regulated to make more "green" choices. As far as the people who disagree with him or this particular theory of global warming, I don't get it... what would it hurt to follow what they suggest? To be on the safe side? Image if he IS right and no one listened... the consequences would be astronomical. But, if he isn't, the planet would still be in better shape. I laughed when you mention pears... I remember you always telling me (as I burned pear candles and munched on pears when you were in Iceland) how much you hate the smell of them now.

Offy - I'm glad you took your grandson crawdad hunting. He'll remember
those times spent with you forever and develop an appreciation for the outdoors.

I haven't see Gore's films so I can not say anything about them but I will say here in Ohio we had a colder then normal winter (coldest in that last 12 years).However last spring started very early and we didn't get that winter until after Christmas. As a child I remembered white Christmas and even when mine were growing up. Last summer was Gawd awful..the heat was oppressive. We kept the panty opened longer hours and gave more fans away then food.
In my 57 years I look at this beautiful planet and think about how much can it support. Millions more people then 10 years back even. In my few years back in this state I have seen an awareness of the need for more recycling then when I left it. We didn't know any other way then recycling in Tx. and FL.
According to the mini ice age of 500 years back I suppose those folks probably thought it was the end of times too. I don't know but with the cosmo as large as it is....nothing can be as sure as change. I just would like for my g/children to experience the creeks and lakes that I did as child. I don't know that they will, but yesterday I took g/son crawdad hunting for first time and was pleasantly surprised by the life in the stream.

RGW-And as I said, there are many scientiests who disagree with the global
warming theory as being man made or aided; the ex-VP has no scientific credentials, for sure...

Scriber - I don't deny the cyclic nature of climate but chemistry and
physics provide quantifiable and qualitative proof that we do have an impact on what is happening

There is more than a few scientists who feel that the earth is in a cycle,
warming trend and that what we have done as humans plays a small, if any, role. The earth changes; at present we are not to know how or why even with Mr. Gore's excellent films.

Thanks TAPS. I agree we should all be good stewards. There is a growing
segment of Christians (I'm not sure about evangelical) who have taken up environmental causes for the reasons you state.

Conservatives that I know are split down the middle on the subject of Global Warming. How can one of my age not see and feel the changes in our lifetime. But, one can also know that God is in control and there is nothing in nature apart from him. Man was given the responsibility to care for his creation and we have not done the best with it that we could have done. Is it too late? I think that everyone should work as hard at reclaiming as Al Gore is doing at making his opinion known.
