60%? That seems like quite an exaggeration.

So you know better than 99% of top climatologists in the world because you read Exxon pro-pollution propaganda on some rightwing propaganda site? What a moron you are. not just dishonest and treasonous, but just plain stupid.

The entire southeast is one big drought area. No water for Atlanta, north Florida or Alabama. Their lakes have turned into dried mud pits. Meanwhile warmer seas cause worse and worse hurricanes. Not every year but definitely escalating.

Southern California is on the verge of drying up. Our reservoirs are almost empty.

The polar icecap has melted so much we can now sail ships through the north pole.

Glaciers are disappearing everywhere around the world.

The south pole is also shrinking steadily and breaking
apart.

The Himalayas are melting. The Alps are melting. The Rockies are crying up.

Ocean temperatures have risen so much the cradles of life the coral reefs are all dying. All around the world. None are immune. Fish are being replaced by jellyfish. The chain-reaction in ocean nature is disasterous and alarming.

The ski industry is alarmed that their seasons are shrinking at accelerating rates every year. Forests are drying up, getting hit by parasitic beetles and burning.

And Bushies are pretending it's all fine because they don't want to affect windfall profits by the oil industry and other industries which depend on polluting or plundering nature.

But all this does not happen at a uniform rate. There are variations. In fact sometimes global warming causes certain areas of the world to have freakish weather, even blizzards. But it's all happening. It's all real and its speeding up at an alarming rate. Gore is right. It might even be too late. But we have to do something NOW. We have to start taking care of our atmosphere and our planet and stop thinking just about our short-term profits. Don't kill the Golden Goose which lays the eggs or you get no more eggs. Conservation and environmentalism plus population control is the #1 problem on earth going forward. Absolutely #1. Nothing else comes close. And our addiction to Arab oil also funds all the terrorism. So it's all connected. Mother nature is rebelling because we are killing her. It's the biggest crisis mankind has faced. Though in the short term Canada may benefit. They have plenty of water there. We don't.
