Take this Al Gore:

From the above article:
American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame."
Sept. 16, 2002, issue of New Scientist reports, "Africa's deserts are in 'spectacular' retreat . . . making farming viable again in what were some of the most arid parts of Africa."
…according to a 2005 study in the Journal of Glaciology, "the Greenland ice sheet is thinning at the margins and growing inland, with a small overall mass gain."
U.N. Climate Change panel reported in February 2007 that Antarctica is unlikely to lose any ice mass during the remainder of the century.
How much does Al Gore stand to make if we all get climate obsessed?
Greedy ba$+@rd.
What happens if it all of a sudden gets cooler? By a lot for an extended period of time?
I for one plan on holding his rhetorical “feet to the ice”.

This is an op-ed piece, written by someone with an opionion and that is all.
Second, half of his references are 5 or more years old. Where is the new data?
Just curious, I mean, if I'm gonna to be a cynic, I'm gonna be a CYNIC!
Without the ability to test a hypothesis, ain't all climate "science" just opinion?
If half of the references are 5 ears old... Inconvenient Truth is 2 yrs old(?). Makes those referneces a little more poignant... It's almost like he's being creative with facts... Or just lying...
In my opinion...
I don't disagree.
Much like you, I fancy myself a conservationist and an enviromentalist (former long-haired hippie), but not one to jump on a bandwagon because it's popular. I have seen too many inconsistancies, too many questions dismissed instead of answered. In fact, I haven't seen a "Theory of Global Warming". A testable hypothesis, as you said. This is much like the Theory of Evolution, and yeah, that's coming from an anthropologist. But the simple fact is, there is no such thing as a permanent theory, it is either disproved or it is a law, anything else is a guess (for the two other readers, that is not the same as a hypothesis). ; )
