The planet has a fever

Yesterday Al Gore got to do what so many of us want to do and laid out the truth on global warming to sceptics in the US congress. His questioner had ten minutes, of which 9 minutes and 41 seconds were used to attack Gore, leaving 19 seconds response.

The response may have taken a little longer, but it's the part of the discussion that's going to be remembered. Watch it here.

Saw it live on CNN, and was most impressed when Barbara Boxer took aim at Inhofe saying "You're trying to make the rules, which you could do when you did this (waving gavel) but you don't get to make the rules anymore, elections have consequences, and I'm going to let the Senator respond.."

Inhofe's attempt to say that record cold spells in some areas somehow contradict "Global Warming" betrayed such a fundamental ignorance of climate science. How do idiots like this get elected?

Imagine how different the world would be now if Al Gore had been elected in 2000. Hopefully we'll live through this national nightmare that is the Bush administration, and then begin to clean up after him.
