People of Tuvalu said "All 6 billion people on Earth should applogize to us!" Why? global warming raises ocean level and the country submerges in water more frequently.
Today is Tuvalu, tommorrow will be New York.

Dear Alvin:
Actually, I'm quite "Green" and have been since the mid 70's. I feel that our environment is a precious comodity that should be preserved and protected
In my High School Earth Science class, in 1974, we were taught that the earth was entering into a new ice age, and that we, or more likely our children, would suffer from starvation due to low crop yeild. Adequate evidence was offered through a study of the ice layers at the North Pole.
The Germans have a much more interesting question for Al Gore to answer. If carbon emissions are causing our ice caps to melt, then why are the ice caps on Mars also melting at the same approximate rate (adjusted for its distance from the sun, etc.)? This study was done by the world famous Max Plank Institute in Berlin.
My personal, non-scientific, view is that the sun varies in its energy output over time. We seem to be in a period of higher energy output now. This would seem logical.
