Algore lied. Again.

Perhaps it seems like piling on and I suppose that’s probably what it is. But when I read yesterday that Algore bored the Copenhagen-ites to death by predicting that the North Pole sea ice would disappear in 5 to 7 years, I thought, “this guy will stop at nothing, including making predictions for which he himself will be held accountable when they don’t come true. How odd…”

And so, it came as no real surprise to find that Gore, well, Gore lied. Again. As my friend Scott would say, “he was inconsistent with his dispensation of the truth…”

The hardest part of all of this for a climate skeptic like myself is that I am considered the outlier. It has become politically correct (and therefore acceptable in the world today) to say that man is causing global warming. What’s so odd about that is that we really don’t know that it is true. In fact a good deal of the science indicates that the warming we saw–and it is warming we saw because currently, it isn’t warming. In fact, it’s getting cooler in most cases–was caused by sun spots and sun activity.

Now, I’m no scientist and I readily admit it. But, a little common sense seems to indicate that the primary engine for warming the planet would be the sun, doesn’t it? What am I missing here?

OK. Enough speculation. I need not really bring you any of that. It’s enough to easily point out that Algore lied. Again. It’s just so sad for the man, the “elder statesman Vice-President” who won a Nobel Prize for being dull and telling us that we ought to be changing our lightbulbs.

It’s a tough economy out there. I wonder if Algore is going to need a job soon. If the planet keeps cooling, it looks like his carbon offset credits may soon not be a viable source of income.
