I've heard his divinity is selling carbon credits at discount rates and this current special is printed on paper that was carried on a truck that drove over the George Washington Bridge. And each piece of paper comes with an al gore soap on a rope.

Wow, temperatures are plunging. Where did that come from? It looks like the start of the next glaciation. Mq's theory of ice ages is that it happens fast on the way into ice because snow cover and reflection can overnight increase reflection of heat. Deserts shrink at a slower rate, though that can happen quickly too - once the Sahara starts greening, it can happen as fast as plants can spread seeds, which is pretty quickly. Deserts are reflective, chlorophyll is absorptive of light. So deserts contribute to ice ages by reflecting light and contribute to warming when they get over run by plants again. Plants thereby drive global heating and cooling. Mqurice
