Well, it looks like Al "Chicken Little" Gore is back trying to grab headlines, saying in part, "Climate change is occurring far more rapidly than even the worst predictions of the UN's Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change." He said that recent evidence shows "the climate crisis is significantly worse and unfolding more rapidly than those on the pessimistic side of the IPCC projections had warned us."

I love when politicians become experts on everything. Is there climate change going on? Any blind person would say an emphatic "yes." Is it all being caused by humans? I don't think so.

What I do know is that Al Gore in actuality doesn't give a rat's ass over global warming, but he has found himself a good schtick doing what he is doing in order to TRY to find a topic/issue that the Democrats might be able to hang their proverbial coat. Democrats are soft on illegal immigration and they are soft on global terrorism. (Of course these days serendipitously they were handed a sudden issue with the concerns over the economy.) To make things worse for the Democrats, they have two (three, if you count former President Clinton) frontrunners who are constantly getting into catfights over personal issues rather than dealing with concrete solutions.
