I think Al Gore is a fool and a fear-mongerer, so it brings me great joy to see him proven wrong again and again. When the global warming conference in NY was under threat of postponement due to blizzard-like conditions, I laughed.
And now I laugh again as the Dems are abandoning the climate change argument in the face of the economic crisis. Clearly the extensive costs that the environmental movement would impose are not something that this nation can afford in these times.

His argument that the incidence of natural disasters was conclusive evidence of global warming always infuriated me because of how widely panned that idea has been for years by credible scientists. Global warming and cooling is a long-term trend, not an imminent disaster. Apparently Gore finally figure that out, because he pulled that slide out of his presentation. About time...

Also, there was a report that arctic sea ice has been underestimated for weeks. Not sure how much that shows, but it's something I felt was related.
