Fraudster Al Gore Gets Electric at ECO:nomics

* Two consecutive critics of Gore's priority on reducing carbon dioxide emissions brought out his passionate side. To one he said, "Climate comes first. Health depends on stable microbial populations and climate change disrupts this. Ticks come to Canada when you have global warming. When a man asked, "What do we get from controlling CO2?" Gore said, "We get to save human civilization as we know it, and the conditions for life on the planet. How is that?"

* When the second question brought another attack on CO2 as a top priority, Gore said that the "approach is misleading. It's not either or. There is an 80 percent chance that north polar icecap will be gone during the summer within five years. Do we want to explain that to our kids?"
