Man, this is never going to get sifted. Nothing happens in the video!

Also, why would you take the side of Bjorn Lomborg? Lomborg does not dispute the science of global warming at all. He believes it's happening and it's caused by man. He also believes it's so far gone that measures to stop it would need to be much more drastic than a carbon tax and the Kyoto protocol. But Lomborg thinks we need different long term strategies and that stopping global warming isn't as important as other things.

So, why is Lomborg the hero in this video? Because Gore is a democrat? Anything anti-Gore is good?

A debate format wouldn't be that useful anyway, especially with some media figurehead like Gore. This may shock you, but Gore is not a scientist! He's not really leading the science of global warming.

A much better way to look at this would be to look at the scientific community's reaction to Lomborg's book "The Skeptical Environmentalist". As it turns out, the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty cited The Skeptical Environmentalist for:

1. Fabrication of data;
2. Selective discarding of unwanted results (selective citation);
3. Deliberately misleading use of statistical methods;
4. Distorted interpretation of conclusions;
5. Plagiarism;
6. Deliberate misinterpretation of others' results.

Gore is a self-anointed figurehead in what I deem one of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated on the human race. He deserves to be targeted as he targets others. He was a "C" student who originally took environmental classes because they were easier. His crockumentary has been seen by many more people than have read Lomborg's tome, and "An Inconvenient Truth" has been soundly thrashed for numbers 1-6 listed (except perhaps for plagiarism).

It's simply telling that Gore won't debate, when infinite resources are at his disposal for such an undertaking.

The greenvangelicals are beyond reason on the GW issue and the politicians love AGW because it gives them the omnipresence of God without placing any moral authority higher than their own. At last they have a way to link all their schemes in a unifying "circle of life".

The sun is responsible for heating up the earth as well as other planets which have no SUVs as of yet. Man tried to create his own paradise via 'Biosphere II' and nearly suffocated the inhabitants. If they can't mix the proper ratio of gases in a bubble, do you really think these international goofballs can "fine tune" a planet's weather?

Moving this video to quantumushroom's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

After Gore compared Lomborg to Hitler, it was pretty clear to me what kind of person Gore really is.
