As I said, they buried the original quote, (ala 1984). I remember hearing it though, and he claimed to have invented the internet.

As I said, they buried the original quote, (ala 1984). I remember hearing it though, and he claimed to have invented the internet.Here's Gore's quote: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Source: Snopes, firstmonday.org, salon.com
I challenge you to give me three sources that say anything different.
And I think it's fair to say that he did take that initiative; we say that Eisenhower created the highway system, but we don't interpret that to mean he did all the groundwork; rather, he funded it.
Actually it'd prove his point. The current theory isn't best described as 'global warming' but as 'anthropogenic (i.e., human-caused) climate change'. It doesn't say that it'll necessarily get warmer, just that the weather is going to become more extreme.Another ice age , might allow us to take back that nobel prize from Gore. Two or three years without a summer, any summer,, might open the eyes of some people.
This post proves some people will rationalize anything to be right. Good grief, have the global warming advocates already forgotten that their principle irrational fear just a year ago was rising ocean levels, flooded coastal cities and the disappearance of Florida? You people really need to get together and get your stories straight.Actually it'd prove his point.

It was the "scientists" who were saying that. Again, call a meeting and get your stories straight.What the news says is not always what the science that the news reporters are basing it off of says.

lolGlobal cooling is happening ever since I was born since I am so cool
Oh, so we're making straw man attacks now? Let me try!Save me Al Gore. Save me from Global Warming. Let us bow our heads and pray at the alter of mother earth before Florida is underwater.
You can have my SUV when you pry my cold, dead hands off the steering wheel.Oh, so we're making straw man attacks now? Let me try!
Conservation! Why should I? Everybody knows that there's an infinite amount of oil buried underneath the earth. You can't make me give up my SUVs or turn off my lights!
lol. yeah, ok.First off, Al Gore did not invent the internet, and yes he did make the claim, then lied about what he said. The liberal media "buried" the copies of his original claim, and started hammering us with his revised claim. My point, Gore will say anything for a buck, and the gatekeepers will filter it.
oh please. you can blame the media for that nonsense, not climate scientists. see here, here, and here.Of course it's a hoax, just like the imminent new ice-age of my teenage years. And you people are letting them yank you around over the weather, which they have to keep revising. Man-made ice-age, man-made warming, man-made ice-age...
so, you provide evidence, your evidence is refuted, and that evidence is refuted just because you say it is. i see how this works now.itsjustme said:You can claim it is not true all you want. You can cite the minority view as the "consensus" all you want. The fact is, there is no consensus, and the "Al Gore view" is in the minority. Like it or not. As to the science of CO2 long-wave radiant heat absorption, go check out a book not written by an IPCC signatory and get the facts.
all of them refuted.One, debating is not allowed on this forum. Two, I've given you at least a dozen links on this and other threads.
care to provide a link?greatcloud said:What goes up, must come down, spinning wheel, gotta go round!
What we see is that while CO2 is skyrocketing, the average temperature is dropping fast. It was 1996 when it was this cold before,we lost all that warming in one shot.
enough of the dishonesty. nowhere has any scientist limited the manifestations of GW to the list above. extreme variations were predicted.itsjustme said:This post proves some people will rationalize anything to be right.

yet another insightful post from lonesometexan. add it to the list...lonesometexan said:Save me Al Gore. Save me from Global Warming. Let us bow our heads and pray at the alter of mother earth before Florida is underwater.
um, no, its not...There imind, here is some proof to back me up. You may not have heard of the current cooling trend,well now you have. Its real and its going to get worse,stay warm.
and a link to update #2 provides...UPDATE AND CAVEAT:
update #1
The website DailyTech has an article citing this blog entry as a reference, and their story got picked up by the Drudge report, resulting in a wide distribution. In the DailyTech article there is a paragraph:
“Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it’s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.”
I wish to state for the record, that this statement is not mine: “–a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years”
There has been no “erasure”. This is an anomaly with a large magnitude, and it coincides with other anecdotal weather evidence. It is curious, it is unusual, it is large, it is unexpected, but it does not “erase” anything. I suggested a correction to DailyTech and they have graciously complied.

By Dr. John R. Christy.
I have been flooded this week with calls and e-mail messages concerning a story that has appeared on various Internet sites, in which the claim is made that cooling global temperatures over the past twelve months in some way negate or eliminate any global warming that might have happened over the past 100 years.
“Here is my perspective on this issue: Twelve months of data does not make a trend, especially in a system as complex and slow moving as global climate, and even more so when the cause for that short-term cooling is as reasonably well understood and well documented as a switch from a minor El Nino Pacific Ocean warming in January 2007 to the La Nina cooling event now taking place.
“The 0.59 C drop we have seen in the past 12 months is unusual, but not unprecedented; April 1998 to April 1999 saw a 0.71 C fall. The long-term climate trend from November 1978 through (and including) January 2008 continues to show a modest warming at the rate of about 0.14 C (0.25 degrees F) per decade.
“One cool year does not erase decades of climate data, nor does it more than minimally change the long-term climate trend. Long-term climate change is just that “long term” and 12 months of data are little more than a blip on the screen.”

Note from Anthony: When the DailyTech first posted this story and referenced my blog as the source of th compilation, without ever interviewing me or asking me a single question, I told them immediately they had it wrong. Shortly after that I published this ”Update and Caveat” (below) on the original post since they were slow to react. All told it took over 8 hours for Dailytech to make a change to the wording, but by then the genie was out of the bottle.
