Without taking sides in this debate I would like to ask you one question:
Even if global warming is not a problem, what is there in the suggestions for change put forward by Gore and other supporters of the global warming position which is unpalatable to you?
Apparently you are against the suggestions, otherwise you wouldn't spend so much energy trying to discredit the messengers.
Personally I find religion to be ridiculous, but feel that the 10 commandments have something to offer anyway. In a similar vein, I think that the changes to our lifestyle suggested in the film are pretty good ideas in general, regardless of the actual causes of global warming.

I am not against Global warming nor am I totally in favor of it. I think we are having a climate change the cause of this is and should be a open discussion from those on either side of the subject
I just think both sides of the story needs to be told especially in the schools where children are being taught in schools that Al Gore's version is the only correct version on this subject. When I went to school in the 50's and early 60's I was taught that there is a Pro and a Con side to conterversial subject matter.
I think this subject needs to be discussed without name calling from either side.

Well, on that we can agree 100%. Evidence needs to be analyzed objectively and conclusions drawn on the basis thereof.
While I tend to empathize with the causes of environmentalists, I have often been turned off by their radicalism and blind faith. I feel there is a lot of validity in the arguments being put forth in defense of the existence of global warming, but have not had the time/energy to acquaint myself with the topic to the point where I feel secure in taking a strong postion.
I am, however, inclined to err on the side of caution...

Why did you end a perfect reply like that? He was only exposing the fact that some schools were cramming it down the kids throats as fact. It sounded perfectly reasonable to me.
It was not a time to show your arrogance just because you lick Gore's boots on the subject.
