No diatribe--legitimate criticism of Gore.  Plenty of serious criticisms 
here

has many references.  I don't think I said anything about the IPCC, but I 
could. ;-)

I haven't gotten this note back--maybe stuck in my spam filter--if so, I 
appologize.

When I (or anyone) takes a conversation off-line--responding only to the 
sender, it is proper etiquette to ask whether one can share that 
conversation with others.  I was detailing things that I have either already 
shared with these groups or choose not to share (my business).
