And it appears he’s been eating large quantities of pork chops...

Popper asserted that theories like AGW are not science.

Sure it's a scientific theory. It's just false.

The theory is falsifiable, and has been falsified.

How can something which occurs after something else be its cause? Answer: It cannot.

Global CO₂ levels lag global temperatures.

Theory falsified.

300 bingo players in FL stopped this man from becoming President.

[cubreporter]

I mean seriously. Don’t you have to feel sorry for this man? He begs the spotlight more than willie did even. Wow. He is terribly sad.

Boston’s prog talk radio station has been off air due to flooding near its transmitter. One of its lib listeners wrote on a messageboard that it was due to global warming. (And as I’ve noted the conservative talk stations in town are just fine—
a conspiracy!)

[cranked]

An outright idiot stuck on stupid.

Not quite. Global CO2 does lag temperature, but that could theoretically be due to a positive feedback loop, in which another cause initiates global warming, that warming releases more CO2, which causes warming to accelerate and additional CO2 to be released (logical since CO2 solubility in water decreases as temperature rises).

It's still not science, would would produce testable hypotheses, but that lag is not a fatal flaw.

[Mr. K]

can you believe this idiot was almost elected president?

[stephenjohnbanker]

1) The jig is up Al.

2) You will lose $500,000,000.00 LMFAO!!

[Mr. K]

He needs an Interocitor!!

[saleman]

The global warming bunch, and curiously, a few here, make a big deal out of telling us how weather is not climate. Unless, the weather at happens to further their agenda.

It would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous. How come none of the members of this forum, who always remind me that weather is not climate, have not chimed in on this thread?

[OneWingedShark]

Ah, Mr. Gore, you never let us down in your hunt for manbearpig.

[ml/nj]

I don't know if it's from the same source (Your link didn't work for me.) but I got this from someone in the investment community today:

from a wall street research report today...

Former Vice President, internet pioneer, and climatologist Al Gore is blaming global warming for the weekend storm across the Northeast… "The so-called skeptics haven't noted it because it's not snow. But the downpours and heavy winds are consistent with what the scientists have long warned about."- no comments yet to explain the abundant sunshine and seasonal temperatures across the area today

Thanx !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[bamahead]

That’s veerrrrry disturbing! ;)

[hattend]

I could while away the hours,
conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin'
while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.

It’s a scary thought that we were only one angry ex-girlfriend bimbo offing the bent one, or one well-aimed pewter lamp splitting BJ’s skull, or two SCOTUS justices away from having this divinity school dropout moron as our CINC.
