Often people only hear the "Gore viewpoint" in the media, which usually seems like fearmongering. (Media fearmongering, say it ain't so!) If the mainstream media provides an alternative point of view at all, they seldom do any in-depth coverage.

Recently a British TV channel broadcast a piece which went into some depth on an alternate point of view. It presented scientists discussing another explanation. Instead of going into all that here, I think The Independent Institute provides a good summary and place to start with comprehensive links to other materials concerning that alternative.

I agree that ending regulation and subsidies should be the place to start and that state intervention in society has helped to create many, if not most, of the environmental problems in today's world.
