First I'd like to thank you for your lengthly answer, it was very informative to read. About Al Gore though, there are in fact ways to measure what the temperature 1000 years ago, using something called ice core layering. That said however I do see your point and it's a good one. While I am glad that the film was made, and that people are watching it, his tactics are extreme and may in fact just make some people frustrated or even annoyed (as you seem to be). This is happening more and more with environmentalists in general, and the more severe the claims about the future, the more people say, "well I'm sure it wont be THAT bad," and they're probably right, but even the fact that we are discussing it right now is a step in the right direction. While Gore may not have necessarily prompted every viewer to act on his causes, he atleast made them all think, critically or otherwise, and that is a huge accomplishment.
