Part II: Ten Questions with A Climate Crisis A La Gore Author Paul Spite | Skeptics Global Warming
SGW: With carbon dioxide levels increasing every single year, shouldn’t the planet continue to set a new record global temperature every year as well?

PS: This is probably the easiest to answer. Temperature records would be set only if there is indeed any real correlation between CO2 emissions and global temperatures. Since there is no correlation in real life, maybe, probably, even certainly, there is no correlation in theory. At a climate conference in NY last March, it was reported, by meteorologists present, that the average global temperature last year was the same as in 1900, the supposed end of the last ice age. The prudent response to “global warming” might be the purchase of cold weather gear.

SGW: Of all the tactics used in Gore’s documentary to convince the viewer that climate change is real, which one works the best and why?

PS: Claiming the support and the agreement of the dead or the unnamed is certainly effective. Claiming a consensus is hard to refute except by extensive and expensive polling.

SGW: Can you tell my readers more about Gore’s call to keep rivers and lakes clean and the tie-in to the zinc mining on his farm in Tennessee?

PS: In 2000, in the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Morrison wrote an article entitled “Al Gore, Environmentalist and Zinc Miner.” (Read More: www.debatethis.org) will take your readers to more information about this travesty. In it is detailed the real concern Mr. Gore has for the environment, his land, and the nearby Caney Fork River, whose virtues he so extols in his documentary. I live about twenty-five miles from this mine. When I read this, I asked a friend from Mr. Gore’s hometown if he was aware of this pollution of the river coming from Mr. Gore’s property. His response was that while Mr. Gore may have the American people fooled, Carthage would not likely elect him to the post of dog catcher. He seemed a little bitter.
