Al Gore and Global warming My response

The science supporting global warming is wanting. The sun is the driving force of life and the warmth of the earth. Carbon dioxide is a small contributor to our atmosphere, although it does hold in some of the warmth we receive from the sun. Temperature changes are natural. Ecologically, I find Al Gore's speech to be unsound.

Al Gore had wonderful suggestions for caring for our environment. I appreciated his suggestions about creating automobiles that are more fuel-efficient. More fuel efficient automobiles are needed. It's rather ridiculous how far computers have advanced over the last 2o years, yet automobiles are still only going a few hundred miles per gallon. A transition away from fossil fuels would be good for Americans as well. Why be dependent on anything that can damage the environment? Americans should be moving away from dependence on fossil fuels. My favorite point Al Gore made related to global stewardship. Global stewardship by balancing money and the entire planet is hard to argue with. Every American should do what they can to care for the earth.

Al Gore did nothing to make his point by attacking George Bush. These responses made his message seem too politically bent rather than ecological in nature. Al Gore was trying to give a compeling message about Global Warming and other environmental issues, so politics should not be involved, as they only detract from the message rather than enhancing it.
