Joking aside , this kid needs some serious help . <| sep |> Damn , my sister has UC and when she has flare ups it destroys her . I feel sorry for you guys . <| sep |> Armchair analysis Al Gore , a Democrat , made the film An Inconvenient Truth about global warming . It ' s arguable that the film m i s r e p resentedmiscontextualized some data don ' t shoot the messenger , repeating my understanding of the opposing side , and also he himself hadhas a large energy wasting footprint himself . Proposed solutions to this problem at the time involved taxes on businesses carbon credits . So basically Democrat proselytizing somewhat m i s c o n textualizedmisrepresented data Proposed raising of taxes , something that Republicans generally to be opposed to , and think that Democrats are constantly trying to do Perceived hypocrisy due to Gore ' s own high energy expenditureAs a result , the perception from the Republican side is that it is purely a political , hypocritical , misleading cash grab . It ' s really frustrating due to the overwhelming scientific consensus , but due to that initial serious exposure to the problem , there are people who think it ' s without merit . I ' ve seen people refer to the 70 ' s fear of global cooling as reason to dismiss the scientific consensus as well . Again , my own armchair analysis , so take it with a grain of salt , but that ' s how it seems to me . Not that this makes it okay , but understanding is important , IMO .
