I wouldn't listen to Al Gore if I were you.

There are a few problems with his little Hollywood film...

- Gore promoted the now-debunked "hockey-stick" graph temperature chart for the last 1,000 years in an attempt to prove man's overwhelming impact on the climate, and attempted to debunk the significance of the medieval warm period and little ice age.

- Gore insisted on a link between increased hurricane activity and global warming that most scientist believe does not exist.

- Gore asserted that today's Arctic is experiencing unprecedented warmth while ignoring that temperatures in the 1930's were as warm or warmer.

- Gore said that the Antarctic was warming and losing ice but failed to note, that this is only true of a small region and the vast bulk has been cooling and gaining ice.
- Gore hyped unfounded fears that Greenland's ice is in danger of disappearing.
- Gore erroneously claimed that the ice cap on Mt. Kilimanjaro is disappearing due to global warming, though satellite measurements show no temperature change at the summit, and the peer-reviewed scientific literature suggests that desiccation of the atmosphere in the region caused by post-colonial deforestation is the cause of the glacial recession.

- Gore made assertions of massive future sea level rise that is way outside of any supposed scientific "consensus" and is not supported in even the most alarmist literature.

- Gore incorrectly implied that a Peruvian glacier's retreat is due to global warming, while ignoring the fact that the region has been cooling since the 1930's and other glaciers in South America are advancing.

-Gore blamed global warming for water loss in Africa's Lake Chad, though NASA scientists had concluded that local water-use and grazing patterns are probably to blame.

- Gore inaccurately said that polar bears are drowning in significant numbers due to melting ice when in fact 11 of the 13 main groups in Canada are thriving, and there is evidence that the only groups that are not thriving are in a region of the Arctic that has cooled.

- Gore did not tell viewers that the 48 scientists whom he quoted as having accused President Bush of distorting science were part of a political advocacy group set up to support the Democrat Presidential candidate, John Kerry in 2004.

The above is a quote from here... http://ff.org/centers/csspp/pdf/20061121... where you can also see the sources that support the conclusions.

Some politicians talk about "Global Dimming", but this theory has simply been put forward to try and explain why the observed rise in global temperature over recent years has been significantly lower than the alarmists predicted, but there isnoevidence for this. There is also the "Ocean Notion" which is the idea that the missing temperature has been sucked up by the sea. (To be released at some future time with "cataclysmic" results, of course!). This could only happen if theworld got much colder

In my opinion, the reason why the alarmists' predictions are turning out to be way off the mark, is simply because the science is bad and the "consensus" is wrong.

in my opinion, NASCAR is very boring. Literally, all they do is go on a big circle, the cars don't look very appealing, and...have you seen their sponsors? C'mon! Home Depot, Lucky charms, McDonnalds, Viagra..I think its just ridiculous...In the other hand. F1,street racing and drifting take true skill, they have appealing cars, its more dangerous and there pretty exiting to watch...I don't know what you think, but I just think that NASCAR is a big joke!. I don't want to say that NASCAR does not take any skill, or that I can drive better than them or anything...but other types of racing seem more difficult and exiting.

Is there anyway possible way you can capture a guys heart in the future even though he says he doesn't feel the same about you? I really like this guy and I've liked him for about a year and a half. We were really close in eigth grade because we had a class together but in 9th grade we didnt have any classes together and hardly saw each other. If we have classes this year and see each other more, is there a chance I could capture his heart?

My best friend, 19, is dating a 39 year old. Her girl friend has been in trouble multiple times with the law and is now on probation. Recently I discovered she is buying alcohol for my friend, who just got out of rehab, and smoking meth with her too. I don't know what to do...
My question is this; if I were to tell her probation officer what is going on, how would they know that I'm not making it up? And could she actually get in trouble unless she was caught in the act?

They try to compare the nature of a non-living thing(such as a watch or a plane), with that of a living thing(Human). Because the watch was created by man, then man also had a creator? How the heck is a watch like a human being?!!! In what ways?

I got a tattoo at 7 pm on tuesday it is 3 am on wednesday and I am having pain when I walk. The tattoo is on my left foot and ankle and it covers my whole foot. There is a little swelling but mostly it just hurts and burns and I took Ibprouphen to help with the aches. It didn't feel painful while getting it in fact the tattoo artist was impressed how I took it. I had two kids natural (to put my threshold of pain in prespective for you skeptics) But the after pain sucks I am limping which is not cool cause I have two kids to chase after. I can take this for a day or two but I hope this isn't going to last. Does anyone else who has gotten a tat on their foot expeirence the same kind of after pain or can someone give me feedback that all is good. There is nothing nasty on my tat it just hurts and I want to know if it is normal.

I filed a response to my ex-wifes Petition for the Out-of-State Registration of Child Custody/ Visitation and Petition Affecting Parent-Child Relationship. I filed it with both courts and just received a note from the court where I reside that they decided to file it as a Petition not a Response. I'm not sure what this changes. Is it for jurisdiction reasons? I'm having trouble researching this.
Thank you in advance
