Inconvenient Truths Indeed

Yes, there is a lot of criticism of the Al Gore movie as one would expect. This one from TCS Daily:
"'An Inconvenient Truth' is billed as the scariest movie you'll ever see. It may well be, but that's in part because it is not the most accurate depiction of the state of global warming science. The enormous uncertainties surrounding the global warming issue are conveniently missing in 'An Inconvenient Truth.' "
Most of us understand that temperatures have risen over a long (or short, relative to the entire history of the earth) period of time. The issue isn't whether it's warming, it's why. For me, I'm not going to believe that man is solely to blame - except that man has evolved to the point where we now can observe more than ever. The old adage, "a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing" holds true. I'd argue that "knowledge" should be replaced with "information".
