      You are not thinking correctly. Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Price was not about him, it is about the organization. You give these people too much crdit for being fair. Look who has won it recently and who should have. This tells you everything you would need to know about that group.

      Please, don't be sarcastic. Just fall in line and repeat after me.

      When it is cold it is due to global warming.

      When it is hot it is due to global warming.

      How is Al Sharpten still on TV? Yes! Global Warming.

      When there is ice, it is due to global warming.

      When there is no ice it is due to global warming.

  • And here at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado where I live we barely got 12" of snow and had 80 degree temps in March. It's called La Nina.

    • @joe prole Actually, we have this stuff called climate science (a scary thing to some people because it doesn't involve magical people that live in the sky) that uses satellites and all kinds of technology to make extremely accurate measurements of climate all over the planet. The scientific community is actually quite well aware of what's going on. The only people that "don't know what the hell is going on" are people who think climate change is a hoax because it got cold where th More..

    • @picklethepug No, we don't know what the hell's going on because relatively speaking we have been on the Earth for almost no time and have had the means to measure temperature for even less time. The 'rock solid science' of Anthropogenic climate change is about as solid as whale blubber. We have not been around long enough to conclusively prove that such a thing exists.

    • @captainutah Believe it or not, science (there's that word again) has methods of gathering historical climate and data about the earth's atmosphere that don't involve the use of a thermometer or published data from the NWS.

      Yes, the climate changes. It changes every day. It changes from month to month, and year to year.

      Science knows some things, and theorizes the rest. Some skeptics become believers, some believers become skeptics.

      What is truly unknown is what the captain nicely referred to as "Anthropogenic climate change". To make calls for destroying the standards of living of humans on a theoretical guess is pure lunacy of radical environmentalists wanting to control their fellow More..

  • The earth is going to do what it wants to do and when it wants to do it, we are insignificant even though we like to think we aren't.

  • Global warming suppose to create more sea ice. Or is it the other way. Somewhere Al Gore is enjoying his $500 millions from sucker politicians.

      He's enjoying it in his 'green' California villa, which has more than 6,500 square feet of living space, a swimming pool, spa and fountains, wine cellar, terraces, six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. 9 million.

      I left the end of the alert out for brevity. They said 30 years of data.

      "THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALASKA SEA ICE PROGRAM BEGAN ARCHIVING DATA IN THE MID 1980′S. SEA ICE DATA PRIOR TO THIS IS VERY LIMITED AND INCONSISTENT."
