Al Gore has lost it

He owns this site. Maybe he hasn't noticed the record cold temps outside lately. Snow in Iraq as first snow there in recorded history, China with the coldest temps in 100 years, worst cold in the US country wide in recorded history. Where is this warming exactly?

I guess he wants to be on top of something since he's failed at anything real. :p

"When you look at climate change you should not look at any particular year," he said. "You should look at trends over a pretty long period and the trend of temperature globally is still very much indicative of warming.

And that's the point. To me any excuse to stop the SUV's is a good excuse

Epecially the ones piloted by cell phone talking mommies. And yes, they are piloted - since they are self guided missiles waiting to cause destruction! I have an SUV, but I use it to haul stuff. Besides, it will suck a $100 bill down at one gas stop. I drive my SAAB instead most time. The SAAB pulls in 30 MPG.

Anyone that has taken 5th grade science knows that we are headed for an Ice Age. That is why this AL Gore stuff annoys me.

Of course 1 in 4 Americans think the Sun revolves around the Earth, and I can see some on Subsim think so too.

Does the increased gas savings of the Saab make up for the 2nd insurance payment?

We're seeing short-term cooling due to La Nina, not an Ice Age.
The article makes that more than clear.

"Short term" cooling since 1998?

I get a discount. Once you are insuring one more thing with a single company, you pay much less than normal.

On top of that, the Arctic generated the record most ever recorded additional Ice Pack ever recorded this year. I'm worried that Ice pack is going to visit my backyard in the future.

I'm just wondering about the break even point. By having a second vehicle you are saving gas but paying more in insurance and other vehicle related costs. Does the former outweigh the latter?

I'm sure I'm paying more for the luxury if you figure out the math, but not much more. I feel safer in the Saab anyway. Its saved my bacon a few times by being nimble. I use the SUV for hauling and off-roading. Finding good places to shoot requires good 4x4.

The earth revolves around the sun????? Who knew? I posted this up Subman because, like you, I think Al Gore is about as qualified to make his statements on global warming as I'm qualified to make statements on the inner core of Pluto. The earth is doing it's thing naturally. Are humans helping or hindering in some respects? I think so. But not as much as Al seems to think we do as he jets around burning up jet fuel like a Banshi. Do I see us at 100 degrees year around by 2050? No. Al is smart though, he is making mad cash selling books and doing tours. Obama said he can be in his cabinet. How sweet. I just feel so cheery inside.
