Al Gore: Alarming new slides depict a worsening climate crisis
Some new material from Al Gore on Climate Change. I thought the point about how much Joe Camel looked like Mr. Clean Coal was particularly well done.

3. Bookmarking, this is a most impressive video, if you want to see a fire start in the ice, check this
out.

I thought the beating heart of the Earth analogy was dead on as well.

Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.:thumbsup:

5. Someone should send this to the Wazilla wacko
Word is that Wazilla is facing serious floods from a very early spring melt.

<snip>
Because of a climate disaster, global warming skeptic Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) has been forced to cancel her attendance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The Wall Street Journal reports that an “unusually warm spring thaw in Alaska is causing some of the state’s worst flooding in decades, with rising rivers wiping out an entire village and bombarding another town with ice chunks as big as houses”:

Gov. Sarah Palin on Thursday was scheduled to fly over the stricken areas after canceling a planned trip to the East Coast for primarily state business. The governor on Wednesday had declared a disaster for the flooded areas, including the Susitna River, which runs through her hometown of Wasilla near Anchorage.

The floods resulted from “a rare combination of unusually heavy winter snow and a spring warm-up over the past week that saw temperatures soar into the 70s — a good 20 degrees higher than normal for this time of year.”
