(but humans DON'T control the weather....much less the climate)

It chaps my ass when people get up in arms about Anthropogenic Global Warming for a variety of reasons mainly this idea that bad weather can be prevented is along the same lines of the people who used to believe sacrificing virgins would bring good weather....its the same basic premise but do the liberals see the folly of the view? Do they see their hubris? Oh gracious no they just see people who "don't care enough".

Listen I love the environment, I love wildlife, I don't want any of that to go away, I want generation after generation to enjoy it, but I WILL lead a life in which I make use of the technology that is offered to the human species. Al Gore flies to lectures on a private jet, he sells his television network to Oil barons from Qatar and nobody calls him out on it.....does HIS carbon footprint not lead to global warming

The Global Warming folks are assholes and idiots that's just a fact 100%
I've seen you say this dozens of times and, frankly, it is beyond myopic.

I don't give two shits about Al Gore or about your views on global warming are, but does it not occur to you that perhaps Al Gore feels that by flying to various lectures around the world and by getting his perspectives broadcast to as many people as possible that he can have a potentially massive impact on the way people live their lives and thus reduce emissions on a scale that makes his contribution to this problem negligible?

It's a completely reasonable position for him to have and only someone who was completely bereft of the ability to think even semi-critically would not understand it.
