I've read it's at least 25 feet above sea level, and about 700 feet from the coast line. I doubt during Gore's lifetime he's going to have to worry about that.

But that's not even the real point, because I'm not an Al Gore fan, nor do I trust what he says.
He's a lying, conniving jerk, as far as I'm concerned.

But here again..... latching onto Al Gore's stupidity and manipulation of the facts, in order to dismiss countless studies by scientists..... is a little like shouting "AHA!!!" after using an electron microscope to prove that a just-mopped floor isn't perfectly clean. You look hard enough for something to back up your mistaken viewpoint..... you'll find it.
This is the man who LITERALLY predicted the end of the world....just let that sink in for a second.



Did Al Gore make money off of Anthropogenic Climate Change? Sure. Did he gain political power with Anthropogenic Climate Change? Absolutely.


Al Gore is set FOR LIFE and his kids lives because of Anthropogenic Climate Change...but you're telling me "Meh, he doesn't matter, he's not serious about it. He might be a snake oil salesman but everyone else in this industry is on the up and up."



I don't buy it, I won't buy it....#1 the Climate isn't static and #2 nobody can say with certainty what the climate SHOULD be...or at the very least nobody will make an argument for what the climate should be.


Let's forget about Al Gore for the sake of this argument.
I'm not defending him... and I along with the rest of the universe don't think much about him.

Let's talk about the climate. You're absolutely right. Climate ISN'T static. No one is claiming that it should be. However, numbers such as average temperatures are not some obscure measurement, conjured up by some mad scientist working in the basement of his home. It's a pretty straightforward measurement. And as with ALL measurements, it depends greatly on how it's taken, as well as a myriad of other factors. If the average Earth temperature has been rising over the last several years.... I don't think it's cause for us to run screaming into the streets that the world is coming to an end. I think it's just a situation that merits further analysis and observation. But that's just my nature. I tend to be more paused and analytical than others. I'm not advocating mass panic. But on the other hand.... this annoying dismissal of scientific studies like they're some voodoo conspiracy against mankind is just that...... ANNOYING. Thereby my argument about extremes again. Why the insistence that all these studies and numbers are just crap? Do you rail against all other sciences in the same way? I certainly hope not.
