I just saw a bit on the Colbert Report debunking The Tennessee Center for Policy Research regarding their findings about Gore...it was pretty funny.

Gore's pretty much rebuke these claims - he even pays *more* for "Green Energy" (energy from renewable sources), and is still making improvements.

Ignore this for what it is - right-wing issue thuggery.

Here's another one to counter.

Global Warming
Is it real or imagined? I have no idea?
But one thing is for sure
THE EARTH WANTS TO KILL US
We can rocket to the moon, transplant hearts in one another,
a person can even drive to some fast food place,
talk into a speaker and they'll hand you a bag of grub
What does any of that mean other than you fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
It always come down to the eternal questions
Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going?
We are all just a cosmic coincidence and our brains are not wired to let us understand any of this
Back to "the earth wants to kill us"
99% of all life forms that ever inhabited our Earth are extinct,
yea, yea, we know, we know, man(woman) had some part in this extinction
but when it comes down to it we've done very little to cause it
the Earth was created out of chaos, even today we have earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, droughts
If we make it through all of that botulism, AIDS, whatever, and if all of that fails old age will end our existence
So maybe everything is meant to be?

Because Al Gore and Hollywood are such experts on how we should live our lives. Damn, if I didn't have them, I don't know what I'd do. Thank you Al Gore and Hollywood. Oh, and Michael Moore... thank you too... for telling me how stupid I am and how great you and your glorious liberal ways are.EVERYONE on the planet (especially Americans!) NEEDS to see the documentary/movie "An Inconvenient Truth" NOW!!!!
Best documentary I've EVER seen!!! Holy shit!! And without a doubt, also the scariest movie I've ever seen!!
Damn!! We are ALL so fucked if nothing MAJOR chages!!!

Just thought I would post this link.....now everyone who is a believer, or a sceptic, can make their own conclusions.....lots of info on here....lots of links to other sites "debunking" the Global Warming trend. But also a lot of arguments leaning towards it too.....make up your own minds?
