The key players are now all in place in Washington and in state governments across America to officially label carbon dioxide as a pollutant and enact laws that tax we citizens for our carbon footprints. Only two details stand in the way, the faltering economic times and a dramatic turn toward a colder climate. The last two bitter winters have lead to a rise in public awareness that CO2 is not a pollutant and is not a significant greenhouse gas that is triggering runaway global warming.
How did we ever get to this point where bad science is driving big government we have to struggle so to stop it?
The story begins with an Oceanographer named Roger Revelle. He served with the Navy in World War II. After the war he became the Director of the Scripps Oceanographic Institute in La Jolla in San Diego, California. Revelle saw the opportunity to obtain major funding from the Navy for doing measurements and research on the ocean around the Pacific Atolls where the US military was conducting atomic bomb tests. He greatly expanded the Institutes areas of interest and among others hired Hans Suess, a noted Chemist from the University of Chicago, who was very interested in the traces of carbon in the environment from the burning of fossil fuels. Revelle tagged on to Suess studies and co-authored a paper with him in 1957. The paper raises the possibility that the carbon dioxide might be creating a greenhouse effect and causing atmospheric warming. It seems to be a plea for funding for more studies. Funding, frankly, is where Revelles mind was most of the time.

Who is going to play Algore in the movie?
To read for later. An article in the WP was calling him the Goreacle. Very funny.

Here's my suggestion, this thing has got his personality down pat:
Would that be “Dr Seuss”?
That would explain a lot...
When the liberal liars and fools of the left wing took over the schools and the national department of education became the brown shirt nazi depart of hate mongering and disinformation so that all the children could become atheist and liars while they enriched themselves teaching lies to the children with the help of the damnable left wing monsters of America, near as I can tell. And that happened some some 60 years ago and we see that there is no hope for the government schools and all the deceived and deceivers therein.
Indeed, Indeed!
CO2 is not a pollutant.
Bears repeating.
Chris Farely would have been perfect to play Algore.
Algore is perfect to play Algore
You beat me by six minutes. I was composing my thread during that time which is why my earlier search didn’t show the story as being posted.

-—great minds, etc.,—and I left the typo in the headline—
I never try to match the entire title because different sources can modify it or there may be a typo. Just pick some key words and have it match them all, e.g. "amazing global warming scam".
With the coming global cooling I hope its goose down he's tarred with.
Pigeon or chicken down with lots of feces was my first thought.
How can this be? Scientist are always right, or so I am told on every crevo thread.
