> I'll give you my take: Man cannot affect climate change anymore that we 
> could move the Earth out of it's orbit. Al Gore is a incorrect, and I will 
> tell you why. Our Sun is a long period variable star, cooling and warming 
> in cycles that span centuries. The last ice age was a result of the Sun's 
> cooling to a point where the world temperature dropped an average of 11 
> degrees. Now, the Sun's temperature has risen enough for us to notice it 
> in the weather changes around the world. The oceans are the warmest in 
> recorded history, as is the land. This causes the Earth to release CO2, 
> and methane and other related greenhouse gasses several orders of 
> magnitude higher than it ever has. Destruction of tropical rain forests by 
> climate change, and Man has had an additional effect, but not to the 
> extent that Mister Gore has claimed. Man's contr
