In this month's Car & Driver, Patrick Bedard's column shoots down An Inconvenient Truth. A few excerpts:

"...an inconvenient truth about CO2 sources -- nature generates about 30 times as much of it as does man."

"In fact, [CO2]'s a minor contributor to the greenhouse effect when water vapor is taken into consideration. All the greenhouse gases together, including CO2 and methane, produce less than two percent of the greenhouse effect, according to Richard S. Lindzen of [MIT]."

"If everyone knows that water vapor is the dominant greenhouse gas, why do Al Gore and so many others focus on CO2? Call it the politics of the possible. Water vapor is almost entirely natural. It's beyond the reach of man's screwdriver. But when the delegates of 189 countries met at Kyoto in December 1997 to discuss global climate change, they could hardly vote to do nothing. So instead, they agreed that the developed countries of the world would reduce emissions of six man-made greenhouse gases. At the top of the list is CO2, a trivial influence on global warming compared with water vapor, but unquestionably man's largest contribution."

Yes all the scientific date that Al Gore has can't be true because Patrick Bedard has one source that says other wise.
