To Al Gore the facts are an inconvenient untruth, to be ignored. Excerpts below:

We Cant Wish Away Climate Change
By AL GORE
It would be an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the science of global warming actually indicated that we do not face an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it.
(Excerpt of Gore Times Op-Ed continued)
Of course, we would still need to deal with the national security risks of our growing dependence on a global oil market dominated by dwindling reserves in the most unstable region of the world, and the economic risks of sending hundreds of billions of dollars a year overseas in return for that oil. And we would still trail China in the race to develop smart grids, fast trains, solar power, wind, geothermal and other renewable sources of energy the most important sources of new jobs in the 21st century.
But what a burden would be lifted! We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands. We could instead celebrate the naysayers who had doggedly persisted in proving that every major National Academy of Sciences report on climate change had simply made a huge mistake.
I, for one, genuinely wish that the climate crisis were an illusion.
Wrong , Al, on that highlighted point. What about tihs company (link) with your aptly named partner, Blood, for Blood and Gore? And what about tihs laughable material?
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 thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States. Just as its important not to miss the forest for the trees, neither should we miss the climate for the snowstorm.
At least Obama knew enough to come home from Copehagen to beat the first of this winter's three DC blizzards. Or this justification for wilful destruction of evidence?
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.
It's OK when your side conceals evident, but what's sauce for the goose isn't sauce for the gander, right?
This guy is becoming a parody of himself.
