If so, then I have wasted an awful lot of money and time and effort in my education.
Its not a myth. Its very real! There are masses and masses of scientific studies to back (human induced) climate change up. Not one study refutes the idea.
Scientists publish data based on fact. Its that simple. We don't make it up or there's no consipracy between us. Actually I wish there were, because that would mean that climate change isn't going to happen, but it is, unfortuantely.
Anyway, its not all doom and gloom. There are some very interesting technological developments going on. That said, I think we need to change our habits, particulary those on certain continents.
And anyway the oceans will absorb most of the human induced carbon dioxide anyway - but then, that will take around 2000 years, and who knows what will happen to the planet (and us humans) in that time. And all that carbon dioxide being drawn down into the oceans will make them more acidic - which the critters that live down there now won't particulary like. But anyway.....
It is mighty sad that Gore didn't get in. I really wish he had.
