environment.guardian.co.uk — Britain is to send the author of today's landmark review on global warming to try to win American hearts and minds to the urgent cause of cutting carbon emissions - as it emerged yesterday that the government has already signed up former US vice-president Al Gore to advise on the environment.

How is that possible? The US emits 2 times as much CO2 as the whole of Europe west of Moscow. I would think that if Germany, the UK and Ireland produced similar CO2 per capita as the US, Europe would have higher CO2 emissions, no?I'm not saying they can't fix up their game. All developed countries need to clean up. But the US accounts for waaaaay more CO2 than anyone else, it's just out of proportion to its population and its economy.

The reason you didn't know the information was because he had just made it up for the movie. So don't feel bad, no one else knew the information either.

In 1997 when Kyoto ratification first failed not all the evidence was in yet on global warming. Since then there have been definitive finds and more extreme weather to change people's minds.

I wouldn't hire AlGore to walk my dog.You people and your Global Warming religion have got to come to grips with yourselves. Pour out the Kool Aid and read something besides Mother Jones and the Daily Kos. The lies used to perpetuate the man made global warming myth are well documented.

So what do you suggest? Sit at home and tell people about climate change? How would a politician implement campaign reform? By not being elected? Should Gore just swim overseas when he needs to go?
