No suprises here.
1) We all know Algore is a lier!
2) The whole global warming thing is pure B/S!

When I was in High School the world was going to end soon with the "New Ice Age" that was fursure fursure comming.

Oh well, I suppose I HAVE to say something, since I'm on record as accepting the science of climate change.

First, anything stated by Anthony Watts (another "weatherman"), should be taken with a big grain of salt. He's the guy who says, "...that only 1 in 10 of the weather stations used for monitoring climate in the USA met the government's own standards for station siting quality." And then, he uses "data", from those supposedly flawed stations to "prove" his anti-climate change claims.

But, let's look at the video that was supposedly "doctored" by Al Gore (I did). No where in the video is Al Gore even mentioned. The video is a simple re-creation of a science experiment, obviously enhanced to get the message across. Anyone with two eyes can see the "split screen" thermometers are NOT the ones in the jars. Nowhere in the video does it say they are. The thermometer images are simply illustrating a temperature rise due to carbon dioxide concentrations. It is a perfectly natural way to present data. It could have just as easily been shown as the rise of curves on two graphs, but this technique was easier to understand.

Oh yes, Anthony Watts, said he supposedly "recreated the scene in the video". Did anyone notice he limited his own findings to the fact that he couldn't clearly see the thermometers in the jars? If he DID recreate the experiment, what were his temperature findings? Don't you suppose if the temperature in the CO2 jar had not risen, he would have trumpeted it loud and clear? But dang, maybe that jar DID get hotter, so he just kinda forgot to mention that little detail.

Anthony Watts has been repeatedly "debunked" by expert climatologists. Anyone who gives him serious credence is not paying attention to what's happening in the real world.

Now those of you who want to believe this charlatan, you have my blessing. You might even want to buy one of Mr. Watts' little "weather stations" he'll be happy to sell you.

Or, you might want to watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcxVwEfq4bM

Regardless, I think I've said all that needs to be said regarding this little man's views.

- Jack

Wouldn't surprise me if Al Gore and his team did a little slight of hand to make a point. When you can't prove a theory, fabricate evidence... just ask any good climate change advocate.

It's pretty obvious that anthropogenic climate change proponents (Algore, the U.N. and their NGO's, etc) are all members of a cult that use fear for profit.

The serfs are nothing but "useful idiots" to them. Algore should practice what he preaches and sell his current house and buy a smaller one. Not to mention stop flying around the world in a private jet and at least go commercial. He reminds me of a corrupt televangelist.

Algore is a disciple of this guy, Mr. Mann:
