Why has Al Gore not been brought up on fraud charges?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Experts are not divided on climate change, in fact the debate has been over for quite some time. In fact the worlds top scientists have now moved onto debating the effects of climate change. The only "experts" who speak out against Global Warming would be those hired by multinational corporations to muddy the argument. In fact they hired the same "scientists" who represented the tobacco companies and their fight in saying smoking wasn't bad for you.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that the last 10 years have been the coldest. Maybe in your region (because of climate change) but globally temperatures are rising.
When it doubt I always refer to David Attenborough's Global Warming special, he was also a skeptic until he spoke to the top experts on the subject.

It is evident that the climate on earth is indeed changing, but the climate on earth is always changing and humans have very little influence over it. A professor by the name of Nir Shaviv from the Institute of Physics at the University of Jerusalem discovered that there have been periods in earth's history where there was up to ten times as much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as there is now, yet it had next to no impact on earth's temperature. Professer Ian Clark of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Ottowa is quoted saying "If we look at climate from the geological timeframe we would never suspect CO2 as a major climate driver. You can't say that CO2 will drive climate, it certainly never did in the past". Dr. Piers Corbyn, a weather forecaster who uses sunspots to predict weather patterns, said that CO2 does not explain any past weather patterns. Professor Patrick Michaels of the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia has said that "anyone who goes around and says that carbon dioxide is responsible for most of the warming of the 20th century hasn't looked at the basic numbers". One main reason that some people believe CO2 causes warming is the results of ice core surveys that can measure earth temperatures over hundreds of thousands of years. In Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth it is said that for 650,000 years the ice core surveys show correlation between CO2 and temperature. "When there is more carbon dioxide, the temperature gets warmer". While the ice core surveys certainly do show that CO2 and warming seem to go together, Al Gore and his team make an incorrect assumption when they state that it is the CO2 that causes the warming. Professor Ian Clark says that Al Gore's team got it backwards, and that the warming actually causes the CO2. The ice core samples show that the warming leads the CO2 by about 800 years which means it could not possibly be the CO2 causing the temperature to change. Clark says that carbon dioxide is a product of temperature, not the other way around, and that completely destroys the fundamentals of the theory behind "global warming".
