Those are the words heard echoing from the ever increasing carbon footprint abode that Al, the inventor of the Internet, Gore resides in. Why the outburst? Well, Al had just seen the top headlines on Newsmax.com which included:
Global Warming’s Kaput; 2008 Coolest in 5 Years
and
and
Arctic Sees Massive Gain in Ice Coverage
While Al may cling to information like this:
Added to his assertion was the WMO revelation that the first half of 2008 was the coolest for at least five years and that the rest of the year almost will certainly be cooler than recent years, although temperatures remain above the historical average.
This leaves him crying about lost residuals from “An Inconvenient Truth,”
"The average of the four main temperature measuring methods is slightly cooler since 2002 [except for a brief el Niño interruption] and record breaking cooling this winter. The argument that this is too short a time period to be meaningful would be valid were it not for the fact that this cooling exactly fits the pattern of timing of warm/cool cycles over the past 400 years," Easterbrook wrote on March 1.
(emphasis mine)
Looks like Al’s income may be flattening or hopefully, decreasing in the coming years. Poor Al will be relegated may be relegated to flying commercial!

I was just talking to a friend that came back from a vacation in Iceland. I asked him about what effects or comments he heard from locals about global warming. He said it was a non issue with them. In fact, they told him the glaciers for the most part in Iceland are actually growing.
