Gore's spending $300 million on it, but actually, I think a more direct approach might do the trick.

Blizzard conditions April 10th 2008

he might want to wait on the campaign until a late season blizzard clears the midwest.

jesus we're looking at 14+ inches with 50 mph winds in MN/Wisco.

this global warming theory is a bunch of hooey! what a joke

farmers are now almost 3 weeks behind in the upper midwest. how many years of this weather in a row and we'll be hearing about the next freaking ice age?

lets face it as a Science,  climate change is in its infancy. be humble instead of so damn certain is my advice as a Phd

12 mild winters in a row

In Eastern Ky, we have had easy winters for the last 12. With heating cost going through the roof if this is global warming I'll take it.

We have not had a devistating flood like the ones we had in 57 and 77, over 30 years since our last big one. I hope this is a trend, so we will keep pouring the coal into the energy economy.

Blowing off the tops of mountains and filling up valleys with fresh water streams. I think the mountains actually keep a lot of weather off of us. Or used to before we started blowing them all off level.

We got 250 years of coal and if the planet last that long we should have our mountains destroyed in about another 20 or so at the rate we are going.

So if you like mild winters and mud and can stand the blasting and heavy equipment running all day and night come to Kentucky. I wish the weather was all we had to talk about.

The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.

Planting late...

Climate science is not the same as weather reports. You have to look at the trends, like disappearing ice sheets. But I will say this, if we become dependent on agriculture for car fuel, we can expect random nature induced oil embargoes on a regular basis as crop yields vary from season to season.

In the end, it all comes down to biodiversity. Poison Darts--Protecting the biodiversity of our world
Or use the 6-packs themselves to make the point!

Haven't been this pleased by an ad in ages, if ever:
