#3 Joseph, if these stories are newsworthy, please post them at Rantburg, instead of gumming up the comments pages. You are off-topic.

#5 Since Al Gore burns several hundred times as much carbon as the average American (30X for his house alone), I know who I am going to blame.

#11 Nice to see Gore is still a slime-ball as he props up the still cooling 60,000+ and climbing bodies to make a political statement that will make him more money.

#12 Jeebus, what a Yay-hoo. The hypocrisy is so thick you can cut it with a knife. While all those storms Gore cites may be *technically* true, we in the US have had only 1 storm make landfall after 2005's disasterous season.

And, what's with citing Bangladesh? They get nailed every single year, just due to geography. Kind of like New Orleans, but getting hit EVERY YEAR.

#13 gore knows 'cuz phelps told him so. I thought the new rage was that the number of tornados this year is an indicator.

Yes sometimes a head-scratcher, which is something which should be appreciated as it makes us consider our own thoughts, I agree with Joe's first comment, looking at the potential consequences/advantages of *if* it were to happen. I think the weather right now in my area is great, bring on more rain. Second Joe comment cc meteor is exactly what albagore is spouting on fresh sneer - now everything is a sign or portent harkening the days of superstition where the direction of the first bird you see overhead determines what will happen during the day. Believe enough and at the end of the day make the happenings of the day fit into that first sign; justification. The globalization comment is a gentle reminder that all these happenings are interconnected. The promise was to get the 3rd world nations up on their feet to be able to take care of themselves. But as we have seen these 3rd ring 3rd string circus bears of oppressors do nothing but increase their power (if you guys were a real evil government you would have taken all those bodies and dead dissodents and made a breakwater). If that government had spent the last 5 years getting the populace all on the same page, making emergency plans for something which happens every year the best relief would not once again be coming from the imperialitikkk US Carrier Group somewhere nearby.

If gore really cared he would have himself hauled over there and float himself offshore and used as an emergency unloading dock. He is nothing but a glorified ambulance chaser and should be held in contempt as such - not that npr cares because they too are living off of other people's money.

"He is nothing but a glorified ambulance chaser "

No, he is worse than that. He runs you over than waits for the ambulance to arrive to start the law suit.

#15 Ms. Terry Gross of "Fresh Air" mostly interviews musicians and entertainment celebrities. So I suppose Mr. Gore is about as much as she can handle... and the same for him. Were he interviewed by someone capable of understanding the science, while it would result in a highly amusing interlude, it would prove highly embarrassing for poor Mr. Gore, who isn't nearly as intelligent as he so fondly believes.
