Al Gore is not relaying a theory that he whipped up on his own. The
theory on the origin of global warming have been around for the past
fifty years.
More like 30-40. 50 years ago, they were more worried about global cooling.
The difference now is that we are now actually being
impacted by the consequences of global warming, and that even if we act
now, we will still be suffering for many decades to come. If we fail to
act, we will be suffering much worse.
The problem is that no one has a workable plan for doing anything useful.
That's because there is NO useful plan and even if there were one, it
would take decades to put into effect. The world simply cannot just stop
producing CO2. There is no technology or, indeed, set of technologies,
on earth that could be implemented quickly enough or thoroughly enough
to counter global warming IF it is caused by human activity. And if it's
not caused by human activity, there's nothing we can do but ride it out.
Nuclear power. It's reasonably cheap, we know how to do it, and unlike
solar or wind, it can be scaled up pretty much as far as you'd like.
And thanks to envirowhackos spreading lies about it 3/4 of the
population thinks a nuclear reactor is an A-bomb in a different form
and wants nothing to do with one.
Er, Mayor... a nuclear reactor *is* an A-bomb in "different form!"
All you need for an atomic explosion is a big enough piece of uranium
to achieve critical mass. The first A-bombs worked by having a piece
of uranium missing from the main mass that was forcibly assembled to it
by a conventional explosive charge.
The main reasons the public has soured on nuclear power are the problem
of disposing of spent fuel, the hazards associated with mining and
storing new fuel, and the serious consequences of an accident at a
nuclear plant.
