Did you hear the one about...

...the North Pole expedition meant to bring attention to global warming that was called off after one of the explorers got frostbite?

I also loved the Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality hearing that was postponed due to a snow storm.

hey - even the new york times had an article today quoting some pretty credible scientists that were throwing doubt on al gore's positions in his movie. mom

I'm just glad the 'scientists' weren't able to feed all this into the elementary schools as planned.
There seems to be a small swell of a backlash beginning against Gore's shlockumentary.
Do you think they'll take back the Peace Prize??

According to Fox, there is a pretty even split about Gore's findings. One segment I saw had a scientist discussing why Gore was wrong. During the segment a list of names ran on screen of scientists who disagreed with Gore. The list just went on and on and on.

Ouch, 75 minutes is kind of a long time. Here's a summary of the documentary.
