Like the Pat Michaels WSJ global-warming editorial a few weeks ago, to which
the wingers piled on. Michaels has a fine resume, too, and an interesting
list of contributors and supporters:
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers
The Western Fuels Association
North Carolina Coal Institute
Pacific Research Institute (an industry front)
Kentucky Coal Operators Association
AMAX Energy Corporation
Consolidation Coal Corporation
Cincinnati Gas and Electric
The National Aerosol Association
Massie Coal Corporation

A fine, unbiased group, with no conflicting interests to get in the way,

The Earth's mantle peaks at around 4000C. Were you the consultant for that

SNOPES??? You mean the ultra-libtard website owned by uber-liberals David
and Barbara Mikkelson who are totally in the libtard tank for
all-that-is-libtardad? That Snopes?
I'm so sorry, I know it was too difficult for you to follow links to
webpages so I cut/past a couple of them here for you. Let me know if any of
the words are too big, I'll find a libtard with a Ph.D. to explain them to

Science According to Al Gore: Earth Interior “Millions of Degrees”
a..
Kurt NimmoInfowars
December 10, 2009
Not only did Al Gore invent the internet, he has also redefined earth
science. The puffed up prophet of the phony climate change movement went on
the Conan O’Brien Show in mid-November and told the world the temperature of
the interior of the earth is “millions of degrees.” O’Brien didn’t flinch.
In fact, the Inner Mantle of the earth is 5400 ºF (3000ºC) and the Outer
Mantle is 2520 ºF (1400ºC) and 5400 º F (3000ºC). The Core of the earth is
between 9032 – 10832 ºF (5000-6000 ºC).
This is an estimation. Nobody knows the exact temperature of the earth’s
interior. The estimate of the temperature is derived from theoretical
modeling and laboratory experiments, but no scientist believes the
temperature is anywhere near a million degrees.
The above video demonstrates that Al Gore is a carnival huckster for the
globalist movement peddling junk science and has no idea what he is talking
about.
Gore has no clue – a few million degrees here and there and pretty soon we’re
talking about real temperature
16
11
2009
This is mind blowing ignorance on the part of Al Gore. Gore in an 11/12/09
interview on NBC’s tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, speaking on geothermal
energy, champion of slide show science, can’t even get the temperature of
earth’s mantle right, claiming “several million degrees” at “2 kilometers or
so down”. Oh, and the “crust of the earth is hot” too.

So, you admit that the whole "Global Warming" scam is just a gaffe made up

You are losing it Tawm... facts and reality do not have a political
agenda. You hate Snopes because they routinely point out the idiocies
of right wing political screed e-mails. You might not be aware that
they often de-bunked stuff that was supposed to be about GWB's more
absurd actions... See:
http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/bushbook.asp
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bushwave.asp
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bush.asp
Hardly the behaviour of radical lefties.
but hey Tawm, the truth has never stopped you before, so you just keep
saying whatever thought wanders into that empty little head of yours.

Maybe, Ed, and then again, maybe not.
I think it's interesting that they squashed the videos, and don't have an
archive of it themselves. That's real close to revisionism.
They also wouldn't present John Coleman.
But they did offer this link to that interview...
How strange...
John Coleman founded the Weather Channel.
This is his interview re: Al Gore and Climategate.

Well, the significant part of that episode seems to be missing on Hulu.
Also, Hulu response time, sync, and menus suck bit time.

They say "Brand Protection" and "Intellectual Property" but the
