Its been proven that CO2 traps heat. Increase the gas in any greenhouse, and the temperature goes up. More CO2 means a hotter planet, period.
The increase in average temperatures almost perfectly matches the increase in CO2 emissions.
Gore's thesis is correct. However, he goes wrong when he implies that the changes in our behavior and policy will be painless.
Farther complicating things is that some areas might benefit from the warmer world. Why, after all, should Siberia, Alaska and Northern Canada fight global warming if it means longer growing seasons and lower heating costs?
It is also dubious if even sever cutbacks in CO2 emissions will be enough to make much of a dent.
Also, many people in this country are still consuming energy like there is no tomorrow
The ultimate solution is to build giant solar mirrors in space and beam CO2 free power to the world and/or a significant improvement in fusion technology(NOT to confused with fission)
Even if Global Warming were a myth, we would have to develop these technologies because Oil, Coal and Natural Gas will run out someday.
