I may sound a little harsh when discussing this subject, but when global treaties and US federal tax policies are being determined and put forth as law based on a hoax, I tend to get more than just a little po'd.

When school children are forced to watch Gore's film as part of their curriculum, and have their teachers treat it as completely factual, I tend to get more than just a little po'd. That is indoctrination, not teaching.

When Gore uses 20 times the utilities of an average household at his own home complex, then claims his "carbon footprint" is offset by buying "carbon credits" from a company he owns, I tend to get more than just a little po'd.

I have no problem with people conserving energy in any way they can. Fleece is what I wear day and night at home during winter so I can keep the thermostat turned down, and the air conditioning in my home in the summer is open windows. I've been driving 4-cylinder cars since 1973. My daily driver is a 1990 Isuzu Impulse that I bought used 13 years ago. I've put 114,000 miles on it (the odometer now reads 181,000 miles), and plan on getting a few more miles out of it before it becomes scrap. I have no problem with recycling in every way possible - I do so myself. All paper, cardboard, plastic and aluminum gets separated, bagged and dropped off at Waste Management. I do these things because they make sense. Cap and Trade doesn't. Kyoto doesn't either.
