re: #16 Obdicut

You don’t have to excuse anyone that will disregard science because of Al Gore, but it is a problem. Trust me, I am (was) one of those people. I still feel there is an exploitation of the science by both sides for various religious, political, social reasons and it turned me off to the whole concept of AGW for a long time. We all would be better served if we slapped ties on the nerds and circumvented the politicians to explain to the people what is going on and what we can do.
