It seems the article you read made claims that are inconsistent with the data in the movie. For example, in the article it said that it based it's conclusions on 150 years of data, actually, the data went back millions of years through many ice ages via different geological sampling. In Bill Bryson's book 'A Short History of Nearly Everything', he talks about how global warming could lead to another ice age. For me, the most compelling data in the Gore movie was tracking CO2 through time, going back through 3 ice ages, and tracking it against the temperature of the planet. There's a correlation and there's far more CO2 on the planet than there's ever been and the temperatures are linked with the CO2 content. I hope Gore is keeping himself carbon neutral on his own or through organizations and sources like these: <a href="http://www.nrdc.org/thisgreenlife/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nrdc.org/thisgreenlife/</a> <a href="http://www.carbonneutral.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.carbonneutral.com/</a> <a href="http://cc.greenhouse.gov.au/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://cc.greenhouse.gov.au/index.html</a> I like your point about we're just another creature on the planet and it may be part of our evolution to wipe ourselves out.
