It’s been a few weeks since I slammed Al Gore for “donning a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and flip-flops to stand in a snowstorm, sheepishly muttering, ‘Hot enough f-f-for ya, f-f-f-folks?’” Well, if you thought I was kidding, check this out (emphasis mine):
A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record…
GISS’s computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.
And why not? Everybody knows global warming is real, so why bother fiddling around with stupid facts and dumb evidence? If anybody questions you, just yell at them for killing the planet until they shut up. It’s been working great so far.

Why am I not surprised? Wait. Maybe I am. Let me try me again. “Global warming is largely hype??” Nope. Nope. Still not surprised.
Get ready for the global warming experts to start getting a large voice in washington.
Al Gore can’t be wrong, he invented the intersnet….which I think is different then the intrawebs.
Sorry Aleric, it’s already started:

you know somehow I still don’t see how our carbon emmisions consituting larger portion of the global tempurature than say The Sun. But this is the kind of crap i’d expect our of a Gore cronie
Still think this guy got the rough end of the stick Scowl?

You really misread that one.
Yes. I don’t value money over privacy.

Is he gonna sue? This is one time I really think someone should file suit. He should. They should all be terminated (fired and not killed. although…), and he should get every penny he asks for.
Last I heard, Joe had a lawyer in place.
They haven’t mentioned him on local radio recently, the Big 3 mess has sort’a taken over.
I’ll post an update if I hear anything from him on that station. If there’s a book coming out, I’m sure they’ll call him for a short interview and the legal case is bound to pop up.
Pollution, forest destruction and the extinction of species are still very serious problems with unpredictable consequences, even if Global Warming is not a real problem.
And?
