"The new [National Academy of Sciences] report, however, failed to mention the Wisconsinian glaciation, which advanced across most of North America 30,000 years ago and receded 10,000 years ago. Scientists know the date range for the Wisconsin deep freeze and thaw, but with no way of knowing how many SUVs were prowling the streets of Eau Claire at the time, they can't very well put the blame on us humans."

maybe it would have been better if the National Academy of Sciences had issued a majority and a minority opinion since it looks like there is a danger even of science being politicized

...it looks like there is a danger even of science being politicized

Too late!

"Freeze or fry, the problem is always industrial capitalism, and the solution is always international socialism."

Great sentence.

Global Warming is just another socialist excuse to control human behavior. EVERYTHING is always a socialist excuse to control human behavior.

Good article. Thanks.

.....failed to mention the Wisconsinian glaciation, ....

I guess that 'truth' was just too inconvenient!

BTW, C-SPAN just announced Algore will be on BookTV tomorrow and 7 PM EDT. It's a booksigning in DC somewhere.

...I haven't seen the lunatic in a long time. I'm gonna watch

"..."The debate in the science community is over,'' Gore insists"

The former vice president has abandoned a relatively low profile to promote the movie.

Questions for Al Gore

[samtheman]

Letter from Frederick Seitz

[driftless]

Well I know why Gore wants to recruit people to spread his message. He is undoubtedly the worst public speaker I've ever heard. And yes, I've heard Gore speak in person twice. The first time In La Crosse, Wis when he ran with the Slickster in 1992. And the second time in 2000 when he ran with Lieberman. Dubya sounds like Churchill when compared to Gore as a public speaker.

[pallmallman]

Is Gore talking about planet Earth, or the one he lives on?

[Publius6961]

Of course.
There is no controversy or argument about climate change. it's been going on for hundreds of thousands of years (that we care about).

Now, the cause is a whole other thing, and the embarrassing "fact" is...

... nobody knows and, in my opinion, might never know.
