Why not create a new religion to fill the void left as people abandon the old ones. It worked for Sun Myung Moon.

Trouble is that people may have unrealistic expectations that global temperature is actually going to go up and in years to come may become disillusioned about paying through the nose for something that doesn’t exist.

edit –

When was the last time anyone that is scientifically literate cited Gore?

Yet, once again, you prove that deniers have no scientific evidence and so endlessly reference scientifically-challenged and politically motivated prejudiced sources.

That’s pathetic.

He used to write thoughtful, intellectual columns that were worth reading, even when I didn’t agree with them.

The above is a stupid rant parroting the nonsense of the denial industry. Even the wacky idea that global warming is a religion. Might as well say that those who obey the Law of Gravity are practicing religion.

Not a single scientific fact, he doesn’t understand (or pretends not to understand) what "statistically significant" means, and actually regards it as a weakness that Jones says that if the data were different from what they are, that would point towards different conclusions. Yet five lines later, he asserts that climate change science is "impervious to evidence"

"a spasm of prophylactic statism"; with language like that, who needs rational analysis?

For the one whose answer noted that Al Gore isn’t a scientist, I make the remark that, yes, that is true. He isn’t. But, unlike the overwhelming majority of politicians on the right, Gore at least LISTENS to scientists. That is unfortunately a rare quality these days.
