    because for the son-of-kyoto to become national legislation, and then working regulation, and thus start sucking vast amounts of money it needs public acceptance.

    what gore is managing to do (in my opinion), is bring public acceptance of the problem in advance of science confirming that anthropogenic CO2 is indeed the problem, by creating a faith in the public consciousness that the scientific world has already reached a consensus on what the problem is and therefore what direction to go in applying the solution.

    this is dangerous because it will lock the world into a regulatory framework, at vast expense to the competitive advantage of my nation, which may not solve any pertinent problem.

    cart before horse in short.
