Just saw an Inconvenient Truth and if Al Gore did nothing but show pictures of the earth from 1986 until the present and what is happening to the Antarctica and Greenland...... And the glaciers that once covered acres of land ... without his saying a word I would ask.. WHAT is making all this happen. Forget the consequences... It's that everything that stabilized a region, gave millions of humans water,provided lakes have all dried up. The pictures are from satellites... actual submarines coming through ice to measure the melting from below .. Pictures taken with fly overs by helicopters... These do not lie.

Did you really think that was the NYT telling Al Gore to "cool it"? It ends with this quote “On balance, he did quite well — a credible and entertaining job on a difficult subject,” Dr. Oppenheimer said. “For that, he deserves a lot of credit. If you rake him over the coals, you’re going to find people who disagree. But in terms of the big picture, he got it right.” My impression is that previous NYT coverage of Al Gore has been pretty reverential. This was a different tone. Sort of like a party paper criticizing a party boss for over-zealousness. Which is sort of the case here, if you think about it.
