MR. GRIFFIN: I have no doubt that global -- that a trend of global warming exists. I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with. To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change. First of all, I don't think it's within the power of human beings to assure that the climate does not change, as millions of years of history have shown, and second of all, I guess I would ask which human beings - where and when - are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take.

...and Gore isn’t qualified to debate scientifically anyway. :’) Not that that would stop him... ;’D
The Goracle! I love it. That’s hillarious.
I guess he will be called dumb by the LSM:
Dr. Griffin holds seven degrees, and is pursuing his eighth. In chronological order of attainment, Dr. Griffin’s degrees include:
BS Physics (The Johns Hopkins University, 1971)
MS Aerospace Science (The Catholic University of America, 1974)
PhD Aerospace Engineering (University of Maryland, College Park, 1977)
MEng Electrical Engineering (University of Southern California, 1979)
MS Applied Physics (The Johns Hopkins University, 1983)
MBA Master of Business Administration (Loyola College in Maryland)
MEng Civil Engineering (The George Washington University, 1998)
The only problem I have with the Sky Is Falling crowd is this: Who the he!! do they think they are, in their arrogance, that they can change the climate of the Planet? Now or ever? (Glob Al invented the internet AND Glob Al Warming...)
*sheesh*
*Don’t make me come up there!*
An impressive list.
But the Goreacle was Vice President and a Senator.
And he writes books and talks slow for the rest of us.
Nooobody expects the Global Warming Inquisition!
Heretics must be silenced, you know...
Disclaimer, I actually believe more or less in AGW and the idea that cutting back on Carbon emissions would be a good thing, I'm just not a Goron about it.
“I guess he will be called dumb by the LSM:”
He has already been called a moron about this over at “NASA WATCH.”
Caves reveal clues to UK weatherAt Pooles Cavern in Derbyshire, it was discovered that the stalagmites grow faster in the winter months when it rains more. Alan Walker, who guides visitors through the caves, says the changes in rainfall are recorded in the stalactites and stalagmites like the growth rings in trees. Stalagmites from a number of caves have now been analysed by Dr Andy Baker at Newcastle University. After splitting and polishing the rock, he can measure its growth precisely and has built up a precipitation history going back thousands of years. His study suggests this autumn's rainfall is not at all unusual when looked at over such a timescale but is well within historic variations. He believes politicians find it expedient to blame a man-made change in our weather rather than addressing the complex scientific picture.

Griffin should run for Pres.
What HE said! LOL!
I wonder why it's so difficult for politicians to to leave science up to the scientists?
I hope he’s not currently pursuing a marketing degree.
I imagine that he's been planning such a statement for quite awhile, for the circumstance when the question came up.
BUT
Perhaps someone can answer this:
If global warming melts glaciers
AND, they flow into the ocean with millions of gallons of fresh water
So much so, that they disrupt the warm waters of the Gulfstream
And, that in turn causes widespread cooling in places such as London and New York
Why won't the glaciers stop melting, the Gulfstream return to normal flow and those cities and their corresponding regions, never see the doomandgloom of uninhabitable catastrophic climate change?
Griffin should hire The Donald and run for Pres. It is about time we have a Pres with a clue about natural science.

Because admitting that the earth is a self correcting process would deny the liberals the chance to steal our money and give it to their buddies running third world hell holes
No he is pursuing an MS in computer Science at Johns Hopkins.
