Nature testing Mr. Gore's twaddle

Internet Al Gore says the science of climate change is settled. It's no longer if, but when mankind's activities will cause catastrophic warming that will ... well, you know the spiel. Before we go on: Mr. Gore's Web site offers advice to acolytes about spreading the Gospel of St. Albert. In writing op-eds to newspapers, for example, he recommends avoiding "any legalese, jargon, or excessive use of statistics" (translation: don't let facts get in the way of a good rant). "(C)ome across as the voice of reason, not a boring know-it-all."

Like Al Gore.

But while he and his disciples, including Gov. M. Jodi Rell with her carbon rationing, sputter and fret, Mother Nature quietly is running her own global-warming experiments. And so far, their apocalyptic vision is losing.
