#NARRATIVEFAIL: Five Years Ago Today: Al Gore Predicted the North Pole Will Be Ice Free in 5 Years…

And Grokster Mike (and Steve) brought us news that it had snowed in Egypt.  As I write this, I have 4″ already of an 8-14″ snowstorm that is now blanketing New Hampshire.  15 years of no substantial global warming while there IS some talk of a new Ice Age (ok, just global cooling) a-coming instead.

Funny, I’ve heard this already – back in those long ago days of the 1970’s.  And you wonder why I’m skeptical of man-made warming?  Climate change?  Changes all the time and has done so for Epochs of time – the Earth has been both much colder and much warmer than contemporary times but no matter which end of the thermometer seems to be troublesome, the Chicken Littles’ “solution” is always a vast expansion of Government for “safety & security” accompanied by rather vague prediction as to when TEOTWAWNI actually happens and by which means.

At least Al was willing to put his foot into his mouth and prove, once again, that ideological Democrats are generally wrong.  Most of the True Warmist Believers don’t have the stones to do it….kinda screws up their Government Funding if they did.
