My man, no need to apologize. I made that remark in the hopes that it would have the opposite effect. You're right though, the thread is basically an Al Gore thread so it is a borderline BAUT subject to begin with.

To me the Nobel prize has been tarnished by Gore's award. Who's next? Hoagland? As far as I am concerned, some of Hoagy's "facts" are just as "factual" as some of the concerns that were WAY overblown in "An Inconvenient Truth".

Thanks, but I think I overreacted a bit. I agree that Gore tends to be a touchy and borderline subject for BAUT. Speaking of which, I'm bowing out of this one now . . . .

tbm, this is a warning for violation of the 'no politics' rule.
Also, I have closed this thread (which had mostly been OK, till now) because of your post.
