The BBC reported (10/12/09) that the year with the highest global temperatures is, of course, 2008 ... No? 2007? Nope. 2006? Try again. Actually, 1998 was the warmest year on record. Hmmm, how about that; wasn’t Miami supposed to be underwater by now?
Global temperatures are not rising, but there is one thing that is rapidly increasing: Al Gore’s net worth. In 2000, the goofy VP was worth about $2 million. Now he’s worth over $100 million and stands to make much more off new “green” technologies. Just another case of Jack and his magic beans, apparently.
Keep this in mind as the President and Congress try to shove cap and trade down our throats.
By the way, Al Gore also believes that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize was “well deserved.” Really?
