I am fairly sure the experiments to develop, support and challenge have been independently run for hundreds of years. I am also fairly certain that the current theory of gravity (which gets refined frequently) makes very accurate predictions about real world outcomes (observable facts).

Hey, Idiot-boy VP Joey B, how well have the best anthropomorphic and CO2 global-warming models been making predictions lately?

Didn’t Al Gore himself predict that the east coast would be under water and the Arctic ice would be gone by now?

Honestly, just shut up.

Al Gore said that the polar ice cap would be gone by 2015.

“Arctic sea ice extent in February averaged 14.41 million square kilometers (5.56 million square miles).”

I guess technically we have to give him to the end of the year.

And while the Arctic ice is at the low end of the average coverage, the Antarctic ice cover is above average. I imagine that there is some sort of balancing act between the two poles that helps moderate our climate for life. Just like the moon is the perfect size and distance and regular orbit to provide tidal action that cleanses the tidal areas and supports near-shore life.

I hear tell that algore guzzles his drinks -- because he believes that, if the floating ice in them melts, they will overflow...
