The truth is that we are guests on this planet and we have been here long enough to gauge what the weather is really like.

Hmm I like your contrarian approach, but wouldn't that mean that
whenever a bunch of scientists alarm us about anything in the future we can just dismiss it and say it's non-sense and there's a "natural cause"?
- Mass fish dying in continental rivers in the 70s
- Forests dying rapidly in early 80s due to "sour" rain from sulphuric emissions
- Smoking's influence on probability of death due to lung cancer
- ...
The list could go on and on. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong. But it always started with a group of scientists that were in a minority in the beginning and decades later we largely accept reality as if public opinion never was any different. How can we just dismiss the
remote chance of a danger lying ahead of us by our personal opinion or (cough cough) party affiliation?
Now I am not saying Al Gore and his minions are right. But what if he is?
