Is Al Gore a prophet or a fool?

I've got my own alternate theory on global warming; the greenhouse effect gets a lot of play but nobody mentions the millions of acres of pavement and it's effect on stored and reflected heat.

All the BS aside, the whole global warming scare will pass and the focus will shift to something else just like when we all heard concerns about 1) the homeless, 2) universal healthcare, 3) foreign threat (insert name here).

I predict the next big challenge will be getting out of the mess created by the shift to bio fuels like ethanol and it's impact on the food supply and global markets. (it's already happening)
