After being chastised for remaining silent during the investigation of climate scientists for purposely altering facts to maintain their respective cash flows, Al Gore has finally spoken up in the pages of the New York Times<\/a>. I suspect his carbon credit voodoo has suffered mightily and his own cash flow is stalling. But here’s what I read;<\/p>\n

It is true that the climate panel published a flawed overestimate of the melting rate of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalayas, and used information about the Netherlands provided to it by the government, which was later found to be partly inaccurate. In addition, e-mail messages stolen from the University of East Anglia in Britain showed that scientists besieged by an onslaught of hostile, make-work demands from climate skeptics may not have adequately followed the requirements of the British freedom of information law.<\/p>\n

But the scientific enterprise will never be completely free of mistakes. What is important is that the overwhelming consensus on global warming remains unchanged. It is also worth noting that the panel\u2019s scientists \u2014 acting in good faith on the best information then available to them….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um, they lied about the actual data, conspired to defraud the UN and used irrelevant anecdotal evidence and called it Science! The scientific enterprise might never be free of mistakes, but it is too much to ask that it be free of lies and fraud?<\/p>\n

The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that global warming is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere \u2014 thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The most often repeated phrase in discussions about the weather this year around the US is “I blame Al Gore”. In this paragraph, Gore explains why there is more moisture in the air, but he doesn’t explain the most important part – why does this evaporation return to earth as snow, rather than rain, as it would if we were really experiencing warmer temperatures?<\/p>\n

Al Gore is either a retard or a snake oil salesman. Anyone still listening to a word he says? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
