Just how crazy is Al Gore? That was the question that popped, once again, into my brain as I read a January 24 Agence France Press news story out of the Davos meeting of business and political elite. Gore asserted that, “the North Pole ice caps may disappear entirely during summer months within five years…”

I was instantly reminded of the story that ran in The New York Times in August 2000 claiming that the Pole was free of ice for the first time in 50 million years. It wasn’t, of course, because people who have actually been to the Arctic quickly noted that, in the summer, some ice actually does melt there. The Times retracted it three weeks later.

This kind of apocalyptic nonsense has been ratcheting

Certifiable...

Is this a rhetorical question?

When you add in the fact that the earth is at the end of a well-known interglacial cycle of 11,500 years, large portions of the planet are likely to get a lot cooler with the advent of a new Ice Age

If the greens get their regulations passed, and I think they will, they will point to the cooling as evidence that they "saved the planet".

Crazy like a fox. A shameless, hypocritical, increasingly rich, global hysteria niche-filling fox.

Does anybody take Algore seriously? ...other than other nutjobs like himself? He’s his own worst enemy. :-)

“In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish.”

How crazy is Owl Gore?

When he tells you that other planets, including Jupiter, are undergoing warming, you can believe he was our there taking the measurements first-hand.

Because we know Owl Gore is "out there".

He's this crazy:

“He might as well have asked, do we believe the bloviations of Al Gore or do we take note of his lifestyle that includes a house large enough to burn through more energy than twenty average homes, the use of private jets and limousines, or any other aspect of his life that suggests he is not into bicycles or walking.”

But, that’s because he made a company and sold himself all those carbon offsets, right?

[TigersEye]

Here’s a laugher. The title alone is a knee slapper.

[SlowBoat407]

THIS crazy!

If the greens get their regulations passed, and I think they will, they will point to the cooling as evidence that they "saved the planet".

Bingo.

How much time have you got?

--and , last I knew, Ehrlich was still getting paid to give speeches--

[Uncle Hal]

i wonder if he is going to endorse Obama? I am sure it will not be Hillary. There is no love lost between him and the Clinton's.
