Several readers had interesting comments about Al Gore's comment, which we noted yesterday: "The planet has a fever. If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor. If the doctor says you need to intervene here, you don't say, 'well, I read a science fiction novel that tells me it's not a problem.' " Reader Martin Shimp notes:
Clearly Gore never cared for his children while they had a fever. Fevers can be a symptom of either a bacterial or viral issue. A doctor can attempt a solution to a bacterial issue, but not a viral one. A virus has to run its course while the body fights it--and a fever is a sign of the struggle to eliminate the virus. Let's see a scientific consensus that the Earth's fever is bacteria-related.
Reader Scott Jacobson questions Gore's premise:
Some great news for Daddy Gore: Little baby Earth does not have a fever. It's been awhile since Daddy Gore had a little bundle at home so maybe he has just forgotten that an infant is not considered to have a fever until her body temperature is at or above 100.4 degrees, or 1.8 degrees above normal. In the last century, little baby Earth's temperature has only gone up "almost one degree."

When I heard Gore say that, I had to laugh because he sounded like a comedian on Saturday Night Live doing an impersonation of Gore. I kept waiting for the punch line.
I suspect that Gore and his cronies are trying to move the world in the direction they want to like zero population and electric cars. They want to be the new rich czars, of course, at our expense. And we will be the slaves.
DON'T FEAR THE REAPER!

Sometimes my natural male aggression overcomes my Christian heart. I should have said “Can’t believe this guy was second in line for the Presidency … only reason that I’m glad Clinton was not ousted via impeachment.
Please forgive.
More Cowbell.
"I'm burnin' a fever! A fever!!!"
ROFL!!!!
>>> Overreacting is common among parents. I remember one morning when my first child was still an infant. Imagine my horror when I discovered that her temperature had risen to 99.5 degrees, almost a whole degree in just under 12 hours. Naturally, I immediately sat down and built a computer model, which clearly projected that by age 30, her temperature was going to be a staggering 19,710 degrees!
Thankfully, with the help of a patient wife and an impatient pediatrician, I came to realize that these fluctuations were normal, and that my baby daughter would not be going supernova by the time she reached her golden years. <<<<
Right, Al YOU GO TO A DOCTOR. You are not a doctor/expert/in the field, or experienced in ANY way to make the claims you do! Man, if you're a politician you're an expert on everything. Gore "expertise" on global warming is the equivalent of about 2 days worth of research online. That's it.
Here's another goofy Gore statement as reported by Mark Steyn in "America Alone." Gore supposedly said, "We are altering the balance of energy between our planet and the rest of the universe."
How can anyone pay any attention to this moron? I think I remember during the Gore/Bush campaign it was revealed that Gore hadn't taken any science courses while he was in college except for biology for which he got a "D." I'm kind of hazy on this, but I seem to remember that someone got his college transcript which showed he had worse grades than George Bush who supposedly was so much dumber. Can anyone confirm this?
Omg! Now THAT'S funny!!! ROFL!
Huh??? And I thought that Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's lyrics were impossible to figure out! LOL
Maybe somebody clever around here can do a video of Gore singing "We're having a heat wave, A tropical heat wave..." Would be funny!
Evidently the Goracle made a D in his only science class.
Flunked out of divinity school.
Didn't graduate from law school.
Evidently didn't take any math courses.
Why obviously, he missed his calling. Should have majored in engineering. /sarc
