It's just a big question as to what the real story behind it all is. I doubt you'll get the whole truth if you Google it or watch a BBC documentary.
Hypocrisy is definitely going to be a large factor in any "scientific" discovery which effects the world as a whole, whether it be true or not. The "developed" countries of the world can seem to want to avoid a global problem because of their own previous mistakes. Whether you believe that it fits in with their agenda of keep "developing countries" in a state of "development", is what you must decide on your own.

Humanity's impact is rather minimal. The whole logic behind global warming is the greenhouse effect. However natural emissions (namely volcanic, or forest firers) vastly outweigh anything humans have done. Is that to say we've had no effect? No, not at all. That's saying any effect we've caused isn't as horrible as Gore wants the masses to believe. I'm talking about global climate, not the environment as a whole.

Lol, 1996 was the hottest year, since then the average temperature has been declining.
