Global Warming is definitely happening, Inhofe was kind of a jerk off and needs to get his facts right. Okay I can admit that.
But Gore uses twenty times more electricity than an average human. He claims he buys carbon offsets but it's very debatable how much those actually do. The carbon that he puts into the atmosphere as he flies around the country is an enormous amount. The graphs that he uses in his presentations are logarithmic (on axis goes up by increments of x, where the other goes up by 10^x). The pictures that he has taken of these glaciers are taken in the winter and the summer and compared, and if I'm not mistaken the glaciers have been receding oh... since the damn last ice age, and I haven't seen any proof of them moving any faster. And if I see one more graphic of a city underwater I'm going to drown a puppy. Of course the city is going to be under water when the sea level rises 20m but how fucking long is that going to take.
All that being said, I'm definitely for cleaner living, but this apocalyptic message is just getting to me. Just take everything with a grain of salt. Try to reduce your impact for sure, but just take it easy out there.
