Intresting trivia... for some...

Careful Allan, you are blaspheming the mighty Al Gore. he invented the internet you know

I am with you on this. There are quite a few people and companies that stand to make a mint off of the global warming scare. "Follow the money" is right.

The numbers you quote are interesting, can you cite the source on those? I would love to drop that on a few people...

Unlike the current paranoid super secretive current resident of the whitehouse
who's very college records are classified, Al Gore's whole life is public record.

How about you go look up his records and see how many of the Science courses he took in college he actually passed, and what grades he got.

I think that'll tell you all you need to know about Gore.

And amusingly enough about his regular college he also took
seven courses in Divinity school he failed five of those outright.

No good at science, no good at studying god is any wonder
he became a snake oil salesman?

Politicians are just those people who failed as businessmen, so they took up public service instead.

we are currently at a minimum and it's been 700-some-odd days since there have been ANY sunspots visible...

I just looked up there were 771 spotless days, (not even close to a record) the FIRST sunspot of the new cycle was spotted Jan 10 2008 signaling the start of the next cycle (#24)

I do really enjoy intelligent conversation. I do wish that some people would pull off the veil and look at what is really going on, rather then because ignorant and useless. Nothing is constant but change, quoting a little bit of philosophy there, but it applys heavily to the climate, and earth in all matters. Animals, plants, earth, it all withers, and comes back to life. Temperatures change, and it would be hard to find reason enough to throw up the red flag and get on television about it is useless garbage that lacks intelligence of the smallest degree

If I knew I could get this kind of education on TRS, I would have joined long ago.
