Inhofe made a lot of sense at the hearings — and in things I’ve read at his web site . . . What is your problem with him?

For the most part, Gore does stress the importance of reducing carbon emissions. I think alot of Communist Republicans are jealous that he’s a rich capitalist.

Man does have some responsibility for the warming, but it is minimal. Gore wants to destroy the economy, while enriching himself, and refuses to walk the walk. Typical liberal hypocrite.

I saw the video on Boxer and sorry, but I disagree. Inhoff was not letting Gore answer his questions and, in fact, was asking loaded questions regarding his electricity usage. If he was looking to ask about the material Gore presented and tackle its accuracy, I would be more sympathetic. But Inhoff wasn’t interested in that. He was trying to make political points about his lifestyle versus the issue he was raising.

Let’s say that, worst case scenario, Al is not careful with the amount of CO2 he consumes. Does that, in any way, alter his argument one bit? It would only show he is as guilty as everyone. It does not change the facts.

Put it this way, you can be a cigarette smoker and still make a presentation on the hazards of smoking. Inhoff, if he were making the argument, would be lecturing the cigarette smoker that, if he believes that it is so harmful, why doesn’t he pledge not to smoke?

I do not respect people who make superfluous arguments like this just to muddy the waters.

As for Boxer, she was enforcing the rules that were set up. I saw nothing in her actions that warranted the charge of “arrogance”. She is chairman and told Inhoff she would grant time as necessary. Inhoff was interupting Gore however and so she cut him off.

gh,

Thanks for weighing in. I also watched the BBC4 video and was impressed by some of the arguments presented there, particularly the claim that atmospheric CO2 concentrations actually lag global temperatures (however these are defined). I wonder if Al knows what a correlation function is?

I’m looking for arguments on both sides of the debate presented at a more technical level. I looked at the numberswatch website, but found only a list of “things affected by global warming.” Where am I going wrong here?
