How absolutely pitifully true. Still, if something is actually accomplished, 
perhaps we can get a portion of it back with some tax...

that is as asinine are Gore's propaganda. Where on earth is there space for 
some truth?

perhaps you want to wait for a pollution documentary alone before anything 
gets done about that? perhaps then you can just divert attention to the 
shortcomings of the messenger again?

Mainstream media and government  have had decades of opportunity to 
objectively present the true cost of various aspects of our technology. 
When "non professionals" try to undertake the task, there is much more 
roughness and error in the message. To just take the ridicule route or to 
say "it is not proven harmful yet" are extremely negative approaches, driven 
by anything but conservatism. There is nothing conservative if your doctor 
tells you that since you have no lung cancer, you could keep on smoking, 
why / how would it be conservative to use exactly the same reasoning and 
words about global warming?

I absolutely agree. Yet it is a fact that the time scale for the real science 
re global warming is not exactly defined yet. And is is absolutely ludicrous 
that the likes of you refuse to err on the side of caution  while the science 
actually goes about it's sciencing. Should YOU be wrong, a simple "sorry" 
would definitely not do in 5, 10 or 20 years. Should the likes of Gore be 
wrong, we could always "off with their head or their money or both", our 
grandchildren would actually get a little bigger share of "our" oil and they 
might even get a chance to visit some remote south pacific atoll before the 
sea covers it.
wannabe a real conservative?
