Actually, this controversy has been around a whole lot longer than Al Gore's documentary.

The bottom line is - there's incontrovertible evidence that humans have greatly contributed to this problem. The problem needs to be adressed - it exists, and anyone denying that might as well strip naked and wander Times Square preaching about how the Earth is flat, or that the rest of the universe revolves around the Earth. We're contributing to the problem, and not insignificantly. Personally, I'd rather see people worry less about how much wealth they can accumulate and more about having a place to spend any wealth they do have.

I always think for myself

And by the way - for standing up for what you believe in. I disagree, but that's what I like about freedom.
