If Gore was a "man" I'd say yes considering how much time he spends on that private jet of his.

But in reality no, yes there is global warming but it is out of man's control it is just part of the natural cycle of the earth. These same scientist were prediting global freezing twenty years ago. There will be a cold cycle soon.

New data shows ocean cooling

The world's oceans cooled suddenly between 2003 and 2005, losing more than 20 percent of the global-warming heat they'd absorbed over the previous 50 years. That's a vast amount of heat, since the oceans hold 1,000 times as heat as the atmosphere. The ocean-cooling researchers say the heat was likely vented into space, since it hasn't been found stored anywhere on Earth.

California Seal Pups Predict Pacific Ocean Cooling

A new study of California elephant seal pups and their weaning weights predicts that a 25-year Pacific Ocean warming has ended, and the second half of a 50-year cycle has begun to cool the northern Pacific. Historical fish catch data indicate the ocean cooling trend is likely to last until about 2025.

This is a good one. It exposes the Al Gore myth just like some other good myths like -- (1) Al Gore was a better student than George Bush (not true); (2) Al Gore won the vote in Florida (according to a review by a consortium of liberal newspapers, Al Gore would have lost the vote any way it was counted, including everyway that he proposed to the US Supreme Court).

House #1:


A 20 room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern "snow belt" area. It's in the South.

House #2


Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American Southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house and shrubs; Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville, Tennessee; it is the abode of the "environmentalist," Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas; it is the residence the of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

An "inconvenient truth."

Please don't post this nonsense.

Could you please show me an example of where "these same scientist(s) were prediting global freezing twenty years ago"?

Unless you can do that - please stop making things up.

Yes - "no" is the only possible answer.

This really is a very pointless exercise.

most likely hell will freeze over before you get an answer (some guy I know would always jump in here and explain Dante's Frozen Inferno)

Hate to break it to you, but yes...in the 70's, "the scientists" were POSITIVE we were headed for another ice age.
