is that on this issue there are two polarized camps, one that would applaud everything Gore has to say and the other that only want to look for holes in his arguments to disparage the man.
I don't think Gore's predictions are completely sound at least as far as timings but I'm not willing to bet my life or the lives of my children on that hunch. I do absolutely believe though that Gore is completely convicted on this issue and that he's not just using it as a political ploy.
The issue must be raised and continue to be pushed into the public consciousness just to ensure there's slow and methodical action taken in the conservation area and Gore has the bully pulpit. He's in a position where he must take the lead since he has the football right now. If he crosses the line a bit from time to time I think that's OK since the people on the opposite side of the debate are ruthless and will never back down.
If Gore upsets a few scientists, that upset will pale in comparison to the alienation they've gotten from the Bush administration and I doubt it will do any long-term harm.
