Who Let Him in?

I'll take this opportunity to link to the Huffington Post, since another may never come.

Mr. Gore has stated, regarding climate change, that "the science is in." Well, he is absolutely right about that, except for one tiny thing. It is the biggest whopper ever sold to the public in the history of humankind.
However, I'm not sure I agree with him when he says:
Carbon dioxide cannot absorb an unlimited amount of infrared radiation. Why not? Because it only absorbs heat along limited bandwidths, and is already absorbing just about everything it can. That is why plotted on a graph, C02's ability to capture heat follows a logarithmic curve.

Typical comment from the Huff-Po community:
Why is this right wing denier being given voice here? The science is in. The great majority of those who have the scientific credentials needed to understand the predicament we have created have spoken. Now we must listen and act. To delay is dangerous folly. I have a four year old grandson and another grandchild on the way. We must repair what we have broken so that they and all the world's children will be able to have a future.
Diversity of opinion is not to be tolerated!
