The 24 hour global warming marathon is called “reality.” The irony is that Al Gore does not understand reality and in truth, departed the world of reality a long time ago. The real world reality is that the weather has always been extreme at times and more quiescent at other times. Those living on earth in the real world have known this because they has studied weather history.

Large natural variability has always existed in the weather. Gore looks at extreme weather across the world, caused by the second strongest La Nina in the last 100 years and thinks it’s caused by the small one degree Fahrenheit temperature rise of the last 150 years. He ignores the real “reality” of the temperature record because it is inconvenient. Since 1900 there have been two periods of warming. One from 1910 to 1945 and another from 1977 to 1998. After the end of World War Two the global average temperature fell slightly until 1976, three decades of temperature decline despite rapidly increaseing carbon dioxide in the air. The temperature then increased from 1977 until 1998. Since the turn of the millennium the temperature trend has been flat, no increase. He talks about the massive amounts of carbon dioxide belched in the air but ignores that fact that since 1998 twenty five percent of all carbon dioxide emissions have be released yet there has been no temperature increase during this time, very inconvenient.

He has no sense of weather history, therefore everything that happens in the weather is new and dramatic to him. Polls show that people are questioning the “reality” of man made global warming. This has infuriated Gore as evidenced by his recent profanity laced public tirade this past summer. As his desperation grows so do his outlandish claims. There is no more natural varibility to the weather, it is all caused by man made global warming, according to Gore. When someone is drowning they yell louder and louder for help.

How would Al Gore respond to the winter heat wave of 1249 in England. That “winter [in England] there was so pleasant, sweet and warm, that people fancied the season was changed. There was no frost or snow the whole winter. Folks threw off their cloaks and went in the thinnest lightest summer dress.” That’s right, 762 years ago the winter in England was so warm that there virtually was no winter at all! If this happened again this year Gore would proclaim that this was irrefutable proof of man made global warming. All it would really prove is that Gore is desparate to reign supreme as the god of global warming wisdom. He needs to be adored by millions of believers who will cling to his every word. He lost his bid to be president of the most powerful nation in the world. Sitting high on his throne as the king of global warming awarness, saving us all from certain doom would be a sutable replacement for his planet sized ego.

And for the Green jobs agenda pushed so hard by Gore and Obama green squad, see Jon Stewart on Solyndra:
