In recent months, ABC reporter Bill Blakemore has been a passionate proponent for getting all that harmful objectivity and balance out of reporting on the impending disaster of global warming. So it shouldn't be surprising -- it should flow naturally, like a melting glacier -- that Blakemore is using ABC's World Newser blog to plug Al Gore's new documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." The filmmakers could use Blakemore's review here as a promotional blurb. He calls it "96 minutes well spent," says "Regardless of your politics, it's riveting and informative," not to mention "remarkably clear, concise, and informative."

Maybe it's God's way, seeing Gore pop up again and again, of reminding us what He saved us from. And I hope He saves us from Hiliary (sic) too. That would be a sure sign!

I'm afraid that would make me hurl.
To: liberallarry; cogitator
Thanks for both replies. I agree that science will probably settle this issue. I have maintained (with disagreement from cogitator) that the models are currently not good enough because they don't adequately model weather. The crux of the models is showing increasing water vapor from more evaporation from the increase in temperature due to our CO2 increases. The essence of my disagreement is that unlike CO2 the water vapor doesn't get distributed evenly (never has, never will), and the weather is what distributes it and causes a number of other important changes such as changes in heat transfer from the tropics to the poles, convective heat transfer aloft, etc. Cogitator agrees that clouds add uncertainty.
Any of these factors or others not mentioned could tip warming in one direction or another. But whatever these factors do, there's also a power argument against "runaway" warming, but I'm not familiar enough with it yet to argue it properly. But like the modeling, it should be easily resolvable in the next 20 years or so as long as we all stay true to science.

This brings a parallel meaning to the term "Gore-basm."

One wonders if Blakemore has ever read Dante. Here's a particularly apt passage from 'The Inferno' with respect to Blakemore:
Thither we came, and thence down in the moat
I saw a people smothered in a filth
That out of human privies seemed to flow;
And whilst below there with mine eye I search,
I saw one with his head so foul with ordure,
It was not clear if he were clerk or layman.
He screamed to me: "Wherefore art thou so eager
To look at me more than the other foul ones?"
And I to him: "Because, if I remember,
I have already seen thee with dry hair,
And thou'rt Alessio Interminei of Lucca;
Therefore I eye thee more than all the others."
And he thereon, belabouring his pumpkin:
"The flatteries have submerged me here below,
Wherewith my tongue was never surfeited."
from 'The Inferno', Canto 18.
( To sum it up--in this portion of Hell, the flatterers were stuck in a ditch, dipped in excrement. )

Obviously there is not controlling editorial authority on Mr. Blakemore. ;~))

I don't know what mental condition Bill Blakemore has, but I'd bet it's really hard to spell.

Why don't they just combine these crap movies into one blockbuster? Let Ron Howard direct "Over DaVinci's Inconvenient Hedge". About two cartoon squirrels that DaVinci painted peaking around the table legs of the Last Supper. Thus begins the quest for the meaning of displaced squirrels, nuts (voice-over by gore), fruits, hedges trimmed by illegal aliens, and the Democrat Plan for '08.

Please note that I said that.
At the same time, cloud feedback may NOT have the potential to stop global warming in its tracks. That's because it's uncertain! The cloud feedback from global warming might be a negligible factor; that would not be good.
Despite the fact that weather does distribute water vapor, weather is predominantly tropospheric. The positive water vapor feedback concerns the increase in relative humidity from the bottom of the atmosphere to the top.
