But then, what do I know. I'm not smart, like AlGore.
And BTW, Big Al has a long article in Rolling Stone this month. I skimmed it...Talks about how "Maybe we've managed to dodge this whole Global Warming thing after all, since people listened to me."
Sez me, that sounded like a surrender. Maybe we've heard the end of it.
That is absolutely the case and it is completely supported by images which from space which show beyond any doubt that the earth has been getting progressively greener during the time period that satellite imagery originally become available. However the satellites also show that there has been no measurable increase in the overall temperature of the earth in nearly twenty years.
Despite being absolutely essential to all life on earth... CO2 still makes up only 400 millionths or .00004% of the earth's atmosphere which classifies it as a trace gas. Unfortunately, the fact that western civilization can be so easily manipulated by charlatans advocating disproven crackpot theories is just another indicator that our civilization is most certainly in decline. My guess is that 40 years from now our Chinese masters will be laughing at our foolishness not unlike the following commercial about unbridled spending that you have probably seen before.
