London High court rules 'Al Gore full of *%#$'

London High Court rules today that Al Gore's film 'The inconvenient truth' is riddled with significant errors and that the film was politically partisan and not an impartial analysis of the science of climate change..

By the way Al, the majority of the record high temps here where I live were set in the 1920s and 1930s...

So what. Even if that is true, he's still got "inventor of the Internet" under his belt.

Have not seen the film, but take a look at loss of polar ice and the decline of indicator species such as honeybees along with the 50 coal-fired power plants China is building every year.

These are good things for the health of the planet?

The real question is, do you believe it's our fault, and can we do anything about it?

I say no, and no. It's part of a normal pattern of solar activity, and any attempt to "fix" it is not only destined to fail, but is a complete waste of time and money, since we didn't cause it in the first place.

Just another example of man thinking he can undo nature.

In addition, isn't this also the end of an Ice Age?

Shh damn it, you're ruining the hybrid push...stop it. How are we suppose to sell batteries that we don't know how to get rid of yet if you keep telling people this is normal!!

The only thing we should look to accomplish is producing bio-diesel and hydrogen fuel. And that has nothing to do with the environment, but to remove the middle-east from the picture as far as controlling the worlds 'oil'.

Could you imagine how different the world would be if oil all the sudden went from $70+/bbl to about $1.20/bbl Would be fun to see some palaces up for sale

Lets talk about global warming from the time of the Bering Ice Bridge, when sea level was about 200 feet lower than it currently is, to now...
