One Guy's Opinion on the Political Scene By: Jim Herndon
Another Gore-whopper
Ten years ago, Al Gore (you know, the guy who got the nobel prize for whopper-telling) pronounced that in ten short years, man-made global warming would heat the world’s climate to a dangerous level.
Now ten years later, Argentinians and Brazilians have been suffering with coldest winter in 90 years. In more than a century, only two days had colder low termperatures: November 1914 and 1917. Also, back then, a natural condition that increases the earth’s temperatue - the urban heat island effect - was less pronounced than now. So, what’s the deal Al? That gloom-profit prediction of yours sounds a lot like another of your “Gore-whoppers” that global warming would melt the icecap and cause an ocean level rise of 20 feet; you know, the prediction that scientists, and even the global warming obsessed UN, discredited. A noteworthy footnote: A British judge found nine scientific errors in Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth” and ordered British schools to mention them and to teach the other side of global warming. Let’s not hold our breath waiting for American schools to follow suite.
