This story, indeed, received a fair amount of play over the weekend and into early this week.

Sounds like another question on the definition of “is”.

Sometimes I wish I was an eleventy billionaire. I would publicly and loudly challenge Algore to a very large bet on whether there will be ice at the north pole in 2013...as he has publicly stated there will not be
