But there’s a scientific consensus!

Somebody take away his secret decoder ring!

"Al Gore should be made to stand outside all damn night with just a t-shirt and shorts."

What a disgusting mental image.

"substituting “climate change” for Global Warming."

I think of all the people who say they don't want to live in the balmy south because they like the change of seasons. HA! Evidently not, they blame any fluctuation on global (gorbull) warming.

[ApplegateRanch]

Yesterday, or day before, Sioux Falls, SD posted its all time LOWEST high temperature for any date in the month of April.

[mountn man]

A record was also set recently for coldest temp EVER in Alaska. Maybe Al can explain to me where all those melting glaciers are.

Cold!? Check this out Minus 148 Degrees

[ApplegateRanch]

Global Warming causes increased evaporation, which leads to more clouds & lower temperatures at ground level, giving more rain & snow.

Like in the 1970s, when Global Cooling resulted in us cooking in our own juices, Global Warming makes us shiver our timbers.

Argh, Matey, does ye ken it now?

[ApplegateRanch]

That was supposed 1/4 inch of rain, not 1.4”.

Thanks for the correction. I was about to have my head explode from extreme jealousy. Were in the seventh year of drought, missing one full year's worth of normal rainfall over that period.

Our wild turkeys were wading knee deep in snow yesterday, too.

Icicles hanging in front of the kitchen windows are over 2 feet long; some well over.

Our temps are running about 25F below seasonal normal, and setting several all time records.

[ssaftler]

Pingeroo!

[Peelod]

The article made sense until-

“Mr. Gore...You are a very smart person”

[Arrowhead1952]

Were in the seventh year of drought, missing one full year's worth of normal rainfall over that period.

We were in drought conditions all last year, but had quite a lot the start of this year. Our lake was 40 feet low, and is less than 15 feet low now. We've had over 13 inches this year, which is about +7 inches.

[Eric Blair 2084]

He’s trying to talk sense to a zealot.

It won’t work. Let me read the rest of the thread.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Does Al know that cow farts and their methane gas contribute more to gorebull warning than every car and truck in America?

PETA tried to tell him to become a vegetarian but he ignored the “inconvenient truth” that Methane is 23 times worse than CO2 in contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

[roaddog727]

Quite the urbane, sophisticated, smack-down.

Yee ha!

[Silly]

Good for this guy. Gore is utterly laughable.

[AaronInCarolina]

I am willing to accede the Earth may be warming. To deny that would fly into the face of historical data.

Don't be so quick to believe the Earth is warming. There is a great deal of research recently to refute the IPCC's laughable contention that the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect is negligible. Much of the apparent recent warming may well be really the misleading effect of a high percentage of measuring stations being in or near growing population centers. If properly corrected for in the temperature record, temperature rise graphs may show a much smaller rise. In fact some of the UHI studies suggest that UHI effect may account for most of the apparent rise in recent decades. Also, there are great efforts to strutinize temperature reconstructions from various proxies, particularly the reconstructions used by the IPCC. Read Climate Audit for wonderful discussions on using various species of trees and their ringwidths and whether or not these are truly reliable temperature reconstructions. Steve McIntyre gives a Herculean effort to "audit" the IPCC scientists and their methods, and he finds disturbingly bad methods and choices of trees, which fundamentally call into question the veracity of the IPCC's temperature graphs.

Many is the time that the posters of Climate Audit find IPCC-related agencies "changing the past" temperature records. I have seen them change temperature records from the 1930's (possibly the warmest decade in recent times) by a half-degree celcius from one day to the next. Some of these groups regularly post-edit temperature records from decades ago, usually to the effect of making the past cooler than it was.

The Earth may ultimately be warming, but it may not be either. Right now we just don't know, and many of the so-called leading scientists are not being entirely honest.

We only get it on the weekends - gives me something to read (sports page) while doing my morning constitutional on Saturday and Sunday a.m. Mrs. Greens won’t let me move the family computer into those friendly confines! Laptop from the employer does not get good reception adjacent to the throne either! During the week, I will gaze at the on line version.
