Here's bad news
Always looking for a silver lining, I had blithely assumed that the Wall Street bust had driven OwlGore and his minions under the bedcovers, if only for a few blessed weeks, but no: Googling for news of the fat fraud disclosed that he's still touring the country in his private, solar powered jet, spreading his girth and ignorance around our fifty states. Latest sighting was in Iowa, where the Nobel Prize winner assured his audience that their recent floods and tornadoes were caused by, quell surprise! - global warning!
Sure, his wacko theories were immediately debunked by meteorologists who concluded that the man doesn't understand basic meteorology, much less climate change , but do Gore acolytes listen to or hear scientists? To judge from their behavior, no.
So that's too bad. My own forecast? We're doomed to still more years of this nonsense, stretching on forever; unless, of course we're all swept out to sea by rising tides and tornadoes.

Imagine for one horrifying moment, the scene in Washington, sometime in January, 2009....President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, having a big confab with returning hero, Al Gore! All the dynamic characters from the Clinton years, back in power. Sounds like "change" to me!
The Goremeister's entire "argument" hinges on the premise that over eons higher temps followed elevated CO2 levels. Non withstanding the fact that actual (versus self appointed) ice core drilling scientists have already proved that actually higher CO2 levels followed higher temps (the opposite of the Goremeister's claims), the Goremeister and his minions ignore one of the most important tenants in Science: Correlation does not prove Causation. But then again, one would have to actually BE a scientist to know that.
It wouldn't surprise me if Gore blamed the financial meltdown on global warming.
