"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?



Have you already bought your weekly allotment of energy
credits from AL Gore?


Give him credit (pun intended) for doing it. Is George Bush?
