I would really appreciate you not using the word "hysteria" in responses to my posts or in conversation with me in general. If you don't understand why I'd object to the word please look up it's etymology and I think it will become clear.
Now regarding Gore, I think what's important to remember here is that he didn't win the prize for presenting the world with a solution to climate change. He won it for actually bringing the problem to a lot of peoples' attention and making it all but impossible for governments to ignore it. Even governments as backwards and environmentally unfriendly as our own. Whether you agree with all of the science he presented or with his suggestions for what we should do to alleviate the problem, you must admit that at least now even Bush has been dragged kicking and screaming into the discussion.
