Far from settled? Excuse me?

You still have credibility problems.

How apropos you would use him to support your argument.
And how appropriate you prop up Al Gore.....the owner of two huge electricity-guzzling mansions and a private jet! Who sold his TV station to a BIG OIL backed organization!!

The hypocrite!!!

Wrong. Anyone who says that C02 or the atmosphere traps heat is pretty ignorant about atmospheric science. The atmosphere absorbs radiation emitted by the Earth, but upon being absorbed, the radiation has ceased to exist by having been transformed into the kinetic and potential energy of the molecules. The atmosphere cannot be said to have succeeded in trapping something that has ceased to exist.

No surprise some don't grasp the concept of GLOBAL vs. LOCAL.

All while continuing to debate science. Now that's funny.

Anyone who brings up Al Gore on the subject of climate change only reveals themselves to be entirely clueless about the topic.

Al Gore is not, nor has he ever, been the spokesperson for science. His was only a lone voice in the wilderness who became a lightning rod for criticism because he was a politician.

I quoted the Goracle. You know, the "expert" on AGW. The guy that made the hoax up. Who got rich off of the idiots.

No, there is nothing "faulty" about basic science. When mankind emits 6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, this changes the albedo effect of our planet.
