Yes, they were.

"I don't want to pick on Al Gore," Don J. Easterbrook, an emeritusprofessor
of geology at Western Washington University, told hundreds ofexperts at the
annual meeting of the Geological Society of America. "Butthere are a lot of
inaccuracies in the statements we are seeing, and we haveto temper that with
real data."And the inaccuracies, and the undermining data are.....
???Here's the gist of the article:"Typically, the concern is not over the
existence of climate change, or theidea that the human production of
heat-trapping gases is partly or largelyto blame for the globe's recent
warming. The question is whether Mr. Gorehas gone beyond the scientific
evidence."" "He's a very polarizing figure in the science community," said
Roger A.Pielke Jr., an environmental scientist who is a colleague of Dr.
Vranes atthe University of Colorado center. "Very quickly, these discussions
turnfrom the issue to the person, and become a referendum on Mr. Gore." ""
"On balance, he did quite well - a credible and entertaining job on
adifficult subject," Dr. Oppenheimer said. "For that, he deserves a lot
ofcredit. If you rake him over the coals, you're going to find people
whodisagree. But in terms of the big picture, he got it right." "Sounds like
a politically-charged debate to me. That's a heavy load ofscientific
evidence you've brought into this, Scott.

"Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's
recentclimate changes have a natural-and not a human-induced-cause, according
toone scientist's controversial theory."Oh, hey....that's good logic. That
means my car and that one driving nextto me on the four lane highway are
being pulled along by the same engine,right?


Are they both solar powered?


Moral: don't copy quotations from the citations and add quotation marks to
them. Or you get the above html mishmash, I guess.


Regardless, I'm inclined to think your hot air nonsense might even
warm Mars.
