Well, how fast are the ice caps going to melt? So fast that the
Gulf Stream won't have time to throughly mix the fresh water
throughout the oceans?

Another thing that bugged me was first he complained about
aid to developing countries and how it was spent on useless
things like power plants, and then later on his solution to
global warming includes building power plants in developing
countries.

He doesn't really give any solutions to the problem of how
do we make power if we can't burn any more fossil fuel. He
trots out the old liberal dreams of conservation, wind power,
etc. I don't understand why all this stuff that everyone knows
about and hasn't really worked in the past is going to work
in the future. I also don't understand why the hardware stores
are allowed to have booming sales in electric heaters. Electric
heat is such an inefficient way to get heat I think it should be
outlawed... Just two weeks ago I saw a family go in and
buy three 1500W electric heaters. What's the point of my
installing a 20W compact fluorescent light bulb to save
55 watts when these people are blowing 36,000 watt hours
every night, 1 million watt hours every month?
