You are in favour of "desert-like conditions in the Midwestern United States"? Why?

I find it very ironic that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC lost all credibility. Largely due to Al Gore's self proclaimed, his invention of the internet...Take for example the nation state of India, choosing to do their own research.

Al Gore never claimed to have 'invented the internet'. Not that it would matter the slightest if he did. This isn't about Al Gore, any more than it is about Burt Rutan. Still, anything to divert us from the facts - which are that the overwhelming consensus amongst the relevant scientific community (the only people qualified to make meaningful statements on the subject) is than anthropogenic climate change is real, and is likely to have significant negative consequences. This is the only fact that matters.

Yes I know that he didn't invent it, but the internet, especially the leaked e-mails have enlightened many of us. The grand scam was devised before the internet, and so was brought down as a result of easily available data for one and all to study.

Since nobody has offered the slightest evidence of any 'scam' beyond tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories, I see no reason to believe one exists. And the 'leaked' (actually stolen) e-mails have conclusively been proven to reveal no 'scam', fabrication of data, or any other misbehaviour beyond a bad choice of words in a private conversation. Still, you can't let the facts get in the way of your opinions, can you. Your mind is made up. Carry on repeating the same old lies...

Pandering - it's what a politician uses to get the job done

In hindsight, she resigned on principle. She resigned because of pressure from her own staff to join the Euro/monetary union. I think you Brits thank your lucky stars she was against it.

When she attended that conference at the UN in 1990, she was simply pandering to her audience. What all politicians do. But actions speak louder than words. She knew, it's a suckers game at the UN.

You seem fairly intelligent, maybe you will change your mind someday.

Are you intelligent enough to change your mind? Are you intelligent enough to actually look at the evidence presented by the only people with any expertise in the subject? Or are you happy to continue believing that you know the 'truth', and don't need to actually see if you are right?
