He's turned into a whore just like Sarah Palin.

Yep... and just Gore, having Palin as the "face" of a movement is probably a bad idea in the long run. The true believers will like it, but the general public (the ones you're trying to get to your side) will be pushed away. Palin (Tea Party) and Gore (MMGW) are very similar in that way.

monovillage - just because you haven't seen those links on your 'GOP talking points' bookmarked websites don't mean they aren't true - you may want to try reading some actual science papers on those topics

some of you need to do a little reading to understand the difference between sea ice and land ice btw

I was pretty plain about sea ice extent and land ice in my previous post. I do read and link numbers of peer reviewed papers, if you would rather remain ignorant and true to your faith by not reading them that's your concern.

This summer was extremely mild in the Central Valley. We usually have 4-5 weeks of triple-digit temperatures dispursed throughout the summer months. This year, we've really only had one week.

That's just a weather pattern, no more the climate than high temperatures else where.

Commercial ships navigating the NW Passage without icebreakers.

Numerous countries suddenly staking claims to Arctic regions previously inaccessible

The soon-to-be "No Glacier National Park"

Satellite data showing the thining of the Greenland Ice Sheet and the increasing speed of Antarctic ice flow

Yup! Buy stock in a long john company.

Yes, Arctic ice is declining, but at the same time the Antarctic is gaining.

Given the shift in the PDO and the slight beginning of a reversal (or at least a leveling off) in both trends we might see the two reverse direction. Imagine the fiasco when you drop Arctic headlines and travel to the South Pole for sensationalist ice melting.

I forget what movie this is from but there is this scene where this guy is falling from a 20 story building and a reporter interviews him as he falls past the 10th floor.

"How ya doing?"

"So far so good!"

You'll do even better when you wake up.

No Palin is bigger whore in the truer sense seeing as she's capitalizing on her looks. She also quit her job as Governor because it was holding her back from really making huge money. Did I mention her reality show?

On the other hand Gore an advocate against global warning before he even had what he believed was his destiny to become president snatched out of his hands in the highly disputed election. In the course of his crusade he garnered much acclaim and let it go to his head.
