I think Gore is loopy here though. Climate could be changing, but I really don't want to pay much more for things.
This brings up one the subject of peak oil. They say the price of oil is up due not just the BRICS countries buying new cars etc, but also limited refining capacity due to the driving season. In Vancouver, the price of gas is $1.33 a litre. So, if the price of gas stays this high in the fall, when the driving season is long over, it may mean peak oil is here. Because the oil companies cannot find enough oil and we will use less of it because it will continue to climb in price and cost more to do less.
Peak oil will do what Gore and climate change couldn't. Cheap energy is oil and and fossil fuels. Gore will "win" but society will lose as we will no longer be able to afford so many creature comforts. According to the link below, one barrel of oil has the energy of one man labouring for ten years. 5 days week, 40 hours week. Even if they are off by 80%, we could have a problem if gas goes to $2-5 a litre.
