Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 No offense but Al Gore (yesterday's US political news) has anything resembling a clue (or even two brain cells to rub together considering his position on global warming or the Kyoto Protocol?)

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Of course he is! This is a direct attack on where he is making his stand - Carbon Credits! He buys carbon credits from his own company, while at the same time still emitting "greenhouse" gases into the atmosphere himself. Gore is a charlatan and carbon credits are a hoax. I wish that someone would start arguing the whole issue of "global warming" and natural climatic cycles that the Earth goes through. I am a disbeliever in the issue of "global warming" as it is being communicated by people like Gore.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Adam, Good for you and your stand. You should have been in Nashville and heard Stacey Champion ramble on and on about what a hero Al Gore is for ALL he is doing for the environment, Etc. I think that’s why most everyone in the auditorium walked out on her “Green” talk. Ken D.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ken - While I have chosen to no longer contribute to this discussion group, this post was brought to my attention so I felt it necessary to address (and defend myself) regarding your post. #1 - At no time did I refer to Al Gore as a " hero. " Did you actually attend my whole session sir? I mentioned Al Gore's documentary when I was stating my personal opinions as to why I felt " green " had reached it's tipping point, if you will, and had gone more mainstream with consumer awareness of global warming reaching an all-time high. I did not say what I personally thought of his documentary at no time, and simply used it as a gateway to address the science surrounding global warming as it is connected to the building (and especially green building) industry. I had one powerpoint slide that simply said " Global Warming - Thank You Al Gore. " How you, sir, chose to interpret that slide was purely up to you... As far as your comment about " nearly everyone walking out... " that is entirely untrue. Had the 10 or so people who did walk out at the mere mention of Al Gore's name chosen to stay, they would have quickly realized that my presentation was not focused on global warming, and it certainly did not take any political stance, as I feel that politics are as personal to people as religion, sexual orientation, or any of the other things people generally have heated debates over. Perhaps you should ask the more than 100 attendees who chose to stay. I personally don't care whether you believe in global warming or not Ken. The science is out there. What you choose to think and how you act upon those thoughts is not in my control, nor is it my concern. I recently read an article on a study that was conducted in the UK on fungus. The mushrooms are now producing fruiting bodies twice a year now instead of just once in the fall, because the spring frost is not what it once was. This would then mean that things will be decaying at twice the " normal " rate. It's interesting stuff. The point of my presentation, and what I do for a living for that matter, is that there are different and better ways for us to build that can save energy, water, have a lesser environmental impact and improve occupant's health and comfort in the process. So, my question for you is: Did you stay through my entire presentation to come to your conclusion? Did you read my proceedings paper? If not, then I think it is fair to say that you jumped to a quick (and wrong) conclusion, and potentially missed out on learning something new. Just because you don't agree with something, doesn't mean that there isn't something new to learn... Happily back to MIA status.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 To discuss whether global warming exists or doesn't is not the important subject. Allowing the " fouling " of ones' own environment is is short-sighted way to live. Should we live like pigs or not, would be a similar discussion.
