  your precious oil

  Not long from now oil will not be the central focus of our economy. It will most likely be water. Change is constant. On 'Historically, CO2 never caused temperature change'--Not so posted 2 years, 10 months ago 19 Responses

  Ignorance is bliss

  I don't see where Mr. Beck made any reference to Al Gore, or the movie An Inconvenient Truth. Furthermore, your response to this article is a bit hostile in nature, which is typical Republican behavior. You cannot (or will not) even consider the possibility of global warming, because it has been drilled into your head that it's some kind of liberal propaganda. I am just saying that is how it appears.

  If you consider the argument of global warming  and what is at stake, you will probably conclude that there is not a whole lot we can do on a global level. This is up to humans as individuals to make life changes that reflect a level of responsibility and appreciation for the planet we were given to live on. Since you brought it up, "Big Al's" book was nothing more than global warming according to Al Gore, with some pages about his personal life that were rather distracting from the point of the book. I didn't see the movie. I have met Al Gore and respect him as a person. The fact that he is trying to at least make people aware of a situation that many people ignore, is commendable.

  What Gore doesn't say enough of in his book, and what we should be also considering, is that everything is tied together. Ecosystems upon ecosytems. Animals rely on one another for survival, life and health. An overexposure to CO2 can drastically change life in the oceans, which is full of nutrients that support many different species. Isn't that enough? Because the destruction of one ecosystem is eventually going to catch up to other ecosystems, including ours.

  It sounds like your distaste for Al Gore is a separate issue you have. The scientific facts however, should not be confused with his recent personal initiative. On 'Historically, CO2 never caused temperature change'--Not so posted 2 years, 10 months ago 19 Responses
