'The sky is warming!'
THEIR efforts to politicize science are at once the most amusing and most alarming trait of liberals.
On June 6, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report on climate change. It "represented a unanimous decision that global warming is real, is getting worse, and is due to man," said CNN reporter Michelle Mitchell. "There is no wiggle room."
Richard Lindzen, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT and one of the 11 scientists who prepared the report, said this wasn't true:
"We are quite confident (1) that global mean temperature is about 0.5 degrees Celsius higher than it was a century ago; (2) that atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide have risen over the past two centuries, and (3) that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas whose increase is likely to warm the earth.
"But and I cannot stress this enough we are not in a position to attribute past climate change to carbon dioxide or to forecast what the climate will be in the future," he wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Monday.

"A general characteristic of Mr. Gore's approach is to assiduously ignore the fact that the earth and its climate are dynamic," wrote Dr. Lindzen, considered by many to be America's leading climatologist. "To treat all change as something to fear is bad enough; to do so in order to exploit that fear is much worse."
Prof. Paul Reiter of the Institut Pasteur in Paris described the movie as "pure, mind-bending propaganda."

What else to expect from Al-Fredo Goreleone, the world's once most dangerous dullard? Who is now, thank God, reduced to yawn-making irrelevancy,
Some things never change.

Note that his clothing still has creases in it from having been recently folded. In every one of his guarded and guided photo' op' tour of Vietnam's US and foreign embassy and consular station cocktail parties, his clothing appears so.
Second generation (at least) seditious and subversive Soviet/Socialist Internationale supportive scum.
And a poofter, poor bastard, to boot!
Oops...the truth trumps the lies yet again...except all of those MSM reports won't be corrected, I'll wager.
Luckily, the M-16 was not loaded and and was locked.
Imagine what it must have taken for Al to leave the bar, where he was more comfortable discussing the horrors of Vietnam with other reporters.
I can state with absolute certainty that I am warmer now than I was 20 years ago.
Never mind that I relocated from Eastern Washington to Central California.
I love this global warming.
