The moral flaws of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth

This, from a supporter of Gore's: Gregg Easterbrook:

"This raises the troubling fault of An Inconvenient Truth: its carelessness about moral argument. Gore says accumulation of greenhouse gases 'is a moral issue, it is deeply unethical.' Wouldn't deprivation also be unethical? Some fossil fuel use is maddening waste; most has raised living standards. The era of fossil energy must now give way to an era of clean energy. But the last century's headlong consumption of oil, coal, and gas has raised living standards throughout the world; driven malnourishment to an all-time low, according to the latest U.N. estimates; doubled global life expectancy; pushed most rates of disease into decline; and made possible Gore's airline seat and MacBook, which he doesn't seem to find unethical."

Per the previous post, the more immediate threat is terror. Closely behind is famine (usually linked in no small part to terrorism - see Dictatorships). The undeveloped nations of the world should not be left further behind because we - the chosen ones - have decided that fossil fuels are the bane of all existence.
