Global warming - perspective on the debate

The BBC has published the first of a number of pieces which constitute a backlash against hte alarmism of the climate change industry and Al Gore's movie in particular. Respectable scientists - most of whom are in agreement with the basic premises that warming is occurring and that CO2 emissions play a part - are questioning the tone of Gore's movie and some of its more outlandish predictions. Great (and somewhat surprising) that the news media are actually covering this - perhaps because Gore is a wealthy politician and not just a bleeding-heart activist? Perhaps the hypocrisy about his Tennessee home pushed them away? Who cares - as long as we now begin to get a more realistic picture of the ongoing debate about climate change I'm all for it.
