One of the weaknesses that some leaders in the Democrat Party see in their party's infrastructure is the lack of a set of think tanks to help the party develop new policy ideas. One of the Republican party's think tanks, and thinkers, helps the democrats by examining the mishmash of environmentalist/anti-business/Gaia worship/neo-Luddite thinking that Al Gore and his fellow travelers are espousing, especially in "An Inconvenient Truth".

I recommend Steven F. Hayward's article, "The Fate of the Earth in the Balance: The Metaphysics of Climate Change" in AEI Online without reservation.
The Commons Blog links to a post at Dissident Voice that recounts the history of America's lack of support for the Kyoto protocol under the Clinton-Gore administration.
