Harvey:
  Interesting article.
  Can you explain the reference to the " 'The Swift Boat Calumnies'
that bedeviled Kerry’s presidential bid in 2004."?
  The dictionary defines "calumny" as "a false and malicious statement designed to injure the reputation of someone or something"  Can you please state the facts you had at hand that allowed you to make that statement?
  
Also, don't you think the "GW"  ” people have to ask themselves, “Am I 100% sure that all
global warming is" caused by human activity?  "Because if they are not
100% sure, they could be inviting [economic] disaster for all of us. If they are
sure, they need to come up with unassailable proof—the burden is on them."
  
"If any of them have a hidden agenda, they should declare it. Al Gore, at
least, is [dis]honest, in my opinion."
   
  Or is the GW crowd somehow above the standards required of everyone else?

A word here has to be said about the propounders of the “Global Warming
Swindle”, who suggest that it’s all sunspots causing long-term climate
changes. In some ways they are analogous to “The Swift Boat Calumnies”
that bedeviled Kerry’s presidential bid in 2004..
Gore is not alone in raising the threat. The vast majority of
environmental scientists so believe. A prime example is Dr. Nathan Lewis
at Caltech who has minutely tracked carbon intensification in the
atmosphere and its impacts, in his work on solar and other renewal energy
forms.

The “Swindle” people have to ask themselves, “Am I 100% sure that all
global warming is beyond the control of humans?” Because if they are not
100% sure, they could be inviting disaster for all of us. If they are
sure, they need to come up with unassailable proof—the burden is on them. 
If any of them have a hidden agenda, they should declare it. Al Gore, at
least, is honest, in my opinion.

The importance of the Embedded Systems Conference needs to be emphasized. 
Embedded Systems are the staging ground for the Electronics Inside that
move the industry. It’s where the de-gutting is done and the product
improvement. It’s where new ideas are hatched on silicon.
Al Gore picked a good venue for promoting “The Democratization of
Technology”. I hope he puts some more meat on them bones.

I had hoped for a private interview—didn’t fit the format. Maybe next
time.
