Meanwhile, keep watching for shortage reports, because we should start seeing some sneak in this week, if our doom-o-meter is calibrated correctly.

“And as we’re talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated,” Gore said. “And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China – and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.”

How long is it before this hysterical man proposes shooting crap into the atmosphere?

This guy is scary.

What is so scary about this quote? He qualfied the statement by saying "might" instead of "was" and the theory that global warming might cause stronger storms has been widely discussed in the scientific community. What is the problem?

Don't drink too much kool-aid boys.

He said . . ."and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.”

He didn't say, "we're seeing weather" or "we're having storms".

He said, "we're seeing consequences."

He's hysterical.

He says idiotic things like "they haven't had a storm that bad in 50 years," thereby suggesting that GW is causing the storms. Did it cause the storm 50 years ago? how about the one 50 years before that?

The fact is, we only have about a 100 year time line for weather.

For all we know, current times are ridiculously placid.

It's fear mongering and hysteria like the tripe Al pimps that makes me laugh when I see that we're now entering a 10 year cooling period.

Soon Al will be saying, "it's climate change that matters, and this cooling is change, and is being caused by us, and if it rains, then it could flood, which is a consequence of predicted GW things, as long as it's cooling after heating."

The guy's an ass, and 20 years from now we're going to look back and laugh at what a charade this has all been.

I don't personally get my climate info from Al Gore. But thanks for the warning. Smile

"AIDS is caused by global warming"?

Could you possibly come up with a more childish hyperbole?

You might want to watch his film so that you have some background in what he's talking about.

I think he won a Nobel Prize for it. It's quite good.

So we're supposed to ignore one rabid idealist for another? Sorry, Cashmere, no dice.

Kool-aid huh?

A bunch of ''kool-aid'' drinking scientists wrote:

Yeah and I don't think Cashmere is going to be winning a Nobel Prize anytime soon...

A Nobel Prize in climate science? Physics? Meteorology?

Didn't Hitler win Time's man of the year?

So what.

I read the film. Much of it was questionable science presented as foregone conclusion.

The guy's a pimp, and in 50 years he's going to be a joke and nothing more than a joke.

A joke for the way he lost to El Ignoramous, and a joke for his hysterical reaction to something he isn't qualified to discuss, notwithstanding his invention of the Internet.

Ok so you're just not smart enough to evaluate the science,
and you're trying to make up for that by attacking a person.

Another gratuitous attack on Gore.

Who needs it, when there are so many far more deserving candidates for vituperation?

As far as I'm concerned, there is far too little "hysteria" about global warming.

Exactly which part of what Gore said is crap and why does he scare you?
