At the very end of the Senate hearing, Mr. Gore inadvertently debunked global warming alarmism. Sen. Craig Thomas, Wyoming Republican, asked Mr. Gore the pivotal question of whether atmospheric carbon dioxide increases have historically preceded or followed increases in global temperature. If temperature increases precede carbon dioxide increases, the notion that manmade greenhouse gas emissions are changing global temperatures would have the cause-and-effect relationship exactly backward. Mr. Gore responded by describing how, depending on the Earth's tilt and wobble as it revolves around the sun, sometimes carbon dioxide increases precede temperature increases and other times temperature increases precede carbon dioxide increases -- leading attentive listeners to wonder, then, well why worry about manmade global warming if it's the Earth's tilt and wobble that defines the carbon dioxide-temperature relationship. Apparently realizing his self-defeating statement, Mr. Gore tried to backtrack by saying that, currently, carbon dioxide increases are preceding temperature increases. It was a desperate and revealing effort to get back on message.
