- A judge in Great Britain found Al's "Inconvenient Truth" to have at least 9 inconvenient half-truths or outright lies.
- 30 years ago, the average scientist was convinced that we were on the verge of another ice age... I ain't frozen.
- Doesn't the Sun warm this planet? Last time I checked, if you really wanted to stop global warming, the most effective solution would be to stop the fusion reaction that the sun is.
- Isn't Global Warming a science problem and not a peace problem?
- During the Academy Awards this year, carbon credits were being handed out in the amount of 100k lbs/recipient. Supposedly that was an offset of 20k miles driving or 40k miles flying.
- That averages 5lbs/mile.
- In a worst case scenario, everyone would drive a Hummer H1 which gets 8mpg city.
- A gallon of gasoline/petrol weighs approx 6.25lbs at 72 degrees F.
- If we stipulated that petrol was a solid and not a liquid, that would mean that everyone would burn approx .78lbs fuel/gallon.
- But gasoline is a hydrocarbon so it is not entirely made of carbon which would clearly reduce the amount of hydrogen released.
- Also, since Gasoline is a hydrocarbon liquid, that means that parts are hydrogen and oxygen so that further reduces the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.
- Even if you account for the amount of fuel used to manufacture, transport, advertise, sell, and maintain the vehicle over the course of 3 years, provided it was running on solid fuel, you would not exceed 2lbs/mile
- So, worst case scenario, if everyone was driving an H1 than runs on solid carbon fuel, .78lbs/mile < 5lbs/mile.
- Where is the math behind human induced climate change?
- And aren't we in a period of increased solar activity?

We Celebrate the Charlatan
Well, good ol' Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for claiming that the planet is getting warmer due to man made activity. Now, I find this to be funny for a number of reasons:
