Al Gore has a vision, he has passion, and he is an environmentalist. I am not an expert on the science of global warming. I have some friends who are experts in atmospheric chemistry, but have never talked to them extensively about their findings, or any other atmospheric climatologists either. However, I do know there is a large body of scientific evidence supports the theory on Global Warming (GW). In this case, I feel comfortable saying Global Warming is real, and we should be doing something about it. Even if the warming itself is just a trend which is subject to fluctuations, it is clear to me that our Earth is suffering from human impact.

Wikipedia describes the effects of GW:

“Increasing global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, likely including an expanse of the subtropical desert regions.^[13] Other likely effects include increases in the intensity of extreme weather events, changes in agricultural yields, modifications of trade routes, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.”

I found this video of Gore at conference on climate change in Poznan, Poland very positive.

This is his actual blog where you can read a transcript of his speech and find some other interesting information.
