I believe the contribution of man to global warming has largely reached concensus among scientists. To anyone that believes this is a conspiracy among scientists, ask yourselves whether you could build a conspiracy like this among musicians. Then consider that scientists are as hard to herd as musicians.

That Al Gore might be getting rich off it doesn't make it any less true.

But even if it wasn't true, we're still going to (at this rate) run out of fossil fuels long before the planet becomes inhabitable. It just makes sense to me to start pursuing alternatives now before we are truly over a barrel. Logically, it makes sense to me to pay for this development by taxing (either directly or indirectly) the use of the fossil fuels that we are burning through.

I say this even though I probably spend more per year on gasoline than anyone here - unless you are a long-haul trucker
