TDW,

I didn't get that from Al Gore but from studying physics. A lot of people died in Houston this week as a direct result of AGW, as a direct result of our GHG emissions into the atmosphere. As GHGs warm the oceans we will get more intense and destructive rainfalls. This is being seen everywhere. The cost in both dollars and lives is growing steadily. 

Global warming is not going to help anyone. We can discuss that if you'd like.
