However, I don't agree that Al Gore is sensationalizing hurricanes — what Gore is saying is certainly in the realm of possibilities, and although Gore's general message is dead on (and I do think is being confirmed by events such as
rapid arctic melting), I don't expect 100 % certainty in his predictions (especially since it seems that the lessening of snow on Mt. Kilimanjaro isn't due to global warming.
When there are alternative explanations for
arctic ice
melt (historical writings that suggest natural periods of very
rapid decline, ever - increasing levels of soot that can cause and accelerate
melting), how can you be so certain that the cause is CO2 - induced?
