I think the glaring issue is the hypocrisy involved. Gore stands up before a national audience and proclaims that "there is something that we all can do" to reduce pollution while paying over $1300 a month to heat and cool one of his houses. Same thing as di Caprio saying that we all should go green as he steps onto his private jet.

Second, I did hear an interesting climatologist (from Princeton I think...could be wrong there) on the radio a couple weeks back and his theory was that temperatures certainly were going up, but he thought that CO2 levels rose in response to a rise in temperature, not the other way around.

He also said that with how much China and India are polluting, we could drop the US emissions by 50% and still not make a bit of difference in the end as we will be dwarfed by those two countries in the near future.
