Chicken Little

Al Gore travels the world spreading his flat earth blather, but according to an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal today he carefully avoids meeting with anyone who has facts contrary to his global warming message. Even though he scheduled a meeting in Denmark with a newspaper, he didn't show up when his agent found out it would be conducted with someone with an opposite view and some facts. Since he didn't show up, the authors presented some of the things he missed out on. Gore in his movie talks about a sea-level rising 20 feet and avoids the U.N. climate estimate that it might go up 1 foot in the next century just as it did in the previous 150 years. Why does Gore exaggerate this by a factor of 20? According to Gore, Nairobi was founded right where it is too cold for malaria to occur. Now with the earth heating up so rapidly, malaria is appearing in the city. This is contrary to the World Health organization findings. Today, Nairobi is considered free of malaria, but in the 20s and '30s, when temperatures were lower than today, malaria epidemics occurred regularly. Facts don't seem to be something the number 2 man in the Clinton administration holds dear.
According to Gore, Antarctica is the canary in the mine and he presents pictures taken on the 2% of the continent that is dramatically warming and ignores the 98% that has largely cooled over the past 35 years and the U.N. panels estimate that Antarctica will increase its snow mass over the next century. Similarly, Gore points to the shrinking sea ice in the Northern hemisphere and ignores the increase in the sea ice in the Southern hemisphere. Nasty old facts again.
Gore talks about how the increasing temperatures actually kill people and mentions the European heat wave which killed 35,000 people (many when the government was on vacation one week) and avoids the larger number of deaths which will not die from the cold weather. One side of the story.
Now that the democrats are in the majority, we are going to be bombarded by this liberal claptrap as they try to undermine our economy for a dubious set of alarmist climate estimates.
