One of the unnoticed aspects of AGW has been the disconnect between what is actually in the IPCC reports and what advocates such as Al Gore and the MSM are saying. The IPCC reports are much less alarming than what Gore and other politicians are saying. (And, as time goes on and it becomes clear that the climate is not changing as predicted, the IPCC predictions are becoming less dramatic.) It is clear that Gore and other politicians have an agenda that is unrelated to "saving" the world. If AGW is not an immediate danger, then there are other more urgent concerns than AGW that should be addressed with available resources. This has been the argument of Lomberg, who has been vilified as a "denier" by AGW advocates even though he appears to agree with the IPCC reports as far as temperature increase is concerned. Here is a paper that discusses this in more detail:
