26 Feb 09 – (Excerpts) "For years, Al Gore has predicted that man's
sins of carbon dioxide will bring calamity and apocalypse. He cited an
increase in natural disasters.
"Gore quietly dropped the contention that the increase is connected to
manmade global warming this week after being called on it by Roger A.
Pielke Jr., a professor of environmental studies at the University of
Colorado.
"When Mr. Gore addressed a packed, cheering hall at the annual meeting
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Chicago
earlier this month, his climate slide show contained a startling graph
showing a ceiling-high spike in disasters in recent years.
The slide has since disappeared from the show, reported Andrew Revkin on
a blog for the New York Times.
I won't even go into whether global warming is a good thing or bad. I
like to think a tropical Antarctica is better than what we have now.

Daily Mail.

fluid removes the lust for the presidency from one's blood."
