Wow, this from ultra lefty Alexander Cockburn? Kudos to him for getting it right this time, and its a biggie!
yes, a prominent lefty coming out against this fraud is significant. We need a few cracks in the left-wing wall of silence on this.
Check out Al Gore: A User's Manual, by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, first published in the U.K. in 2000. Cockburn has been arguing for years that AGW is pure B.S. and that Al Gore's embrace of AGW is first and foremost about Gore's personal quest for power.
(Cockburn called the book a user's manual on the grounds that every expensive and complex tool requires a user's manual, and Gore is a real tool.)
