Jack has an interesting poll going on at Jack’s Newswatch - Should Al Gore be sued by companies he is harming with his crusade?

This ties in with his post based on an article from Spiegel Online Killing Jobs to Save the Climate , which explains how the German carbon trading market is causing many industries to threaten to pack up and leave. And costs are only going to go up.

Anyway, please read Jack’s post and related links and then check out his poll.

That guy talks my language!
