"the U.N. Climate Panel suggests that if we follow Al Gore's path down toward an environmentally obsessed society, it will have big consequences for the world, not least its poor. In the year 2100, Mr. Gore will have left the average person 30% poorer, and thus less able to handle many of the problems we will face, climate change or no climate change."
There's not enough information to conlude theres global warming/cooling caused by humans. I'd like to see the statistical information that shows comparisons from temperatures over the last million years or so related to human pollution.

It's caused by multiple factors. No single thing is entirely to blame. Humans have contributed some to it.

99.9% agreement among professional scientists isn't enough for me either.
I'm waiting for a blowjob from the King of Science before I make up my mind.

Yeah, fuck the poor! Lifting the world out of poverty and hunger is far less important than ensuring that the world doesn't get an average of one degree hotter over the next several decades! FUCK! A WHOLE DEGREE? SHIT!
Right on! I know for a fact that those with power and wealth have every intention of giving their power and wealth to the world's poor--the only thing preventing them from doing so is those fucking GREEN people.

Have you got any idea what a global annual mean temperature of one degree would do? And one degree is the super best case scenario, like if we abolished cars and became vegetarians tomorrow. The increase will be far greater in realtiy.

Whether or not they have the intention of helping the poor or not is not the point. A sound economy benefits everyone, most especially the poor. Just because they don't plan on giving away all their money to satisfy moralist cunts like you, doesn't mean that what results (a more productive & prosperous economy) won't help the world's poor.
Why the fuck should they give away all their money anyways?
OH WAIT! Lol, I forgot, rich people don't deserve to be treated like people with rights, do they?

lol it'll make the average person 30% poorer because conservatards will continue to make it so the rich don't have to pay the amount they should in taxes. And because conservatards will continue wasting hundreds of billions of tax dollars to kill towelheads because "der terrists!" despite the fact they themselves fit the definition far more often.

Just how many of the not so rich are you planning on screwing out of their autos? 20%?? 40%?? and i know you'll be greatly expanding public trans to make up for the loss. All the people who used to work in factories can be bus drivers. C'mon, tell the truth. Nancy Pelosi can still have her jet, Hollywood can still have their limos, you can still raise taxes, blame it on the oil companies, and be big heroes to caribou, whales, penguins and polar bears.

You know, I'd be a lot more impressed if either of those articles contained references. Also, the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report hasn't been released yet (the last big one was in 2001).
So color me unimpressed. How about everyone take a grain of salt instead of being mindless sheep? Baaaa.

But she's Nancy Pelosi, and if you don't think she should have a personal airplane, you must be a sexist racist evil corporation loving conservative, right?

Ever hear about Carnegie's Gospel of Wealth? Do some research.
And imho, there is a point at which you have more money than a person realistically needs to live comfortably. Its the point at which money is stopped being used for investment, and turning that money into power.
^Disagree with this statement all you want. Money corrupts, Power corrupts, Corruption is not an acceptable state of character.
