Phoney Baloney Has A First Name... It's O-S-C-A-R

"If you think those who have long challenged the mainstream scientific findings about global warming recognize that the game is over, think again. Yes, 19 million people watched the "Live Earth" concerts last month, titans of corporate America are calling for laws mandating greenhouse cuts, "green" magazines fill newsstands, and the film based on Al Gore's best-selling book, "An Inconvenient Truth," won an Oscar. But outside Hollywood, Manhattan and other habitats of the chattering classes, the denial machine is running at full throttle—and continuing to shape both government policy and public opinion." -- August 13 Newsweek

Is that really the argument, then somebody better tell the starving kids in Africa about Live-Aid, and you dont even want to know whats on the newsstands in NYC.

... so says Tim Wirth, a former employee of Al Gore and currently under the employ of Ted Turner, but I dont suppose you consider the billion dollar fund that Teddy lets him control has swayed his opinion do you?

Nah...

Its just the evil oil money that you got a problem with.

Fraud!
