Okay...I will back off on my criticisms of Gore...
But if this article, below, is true...the Global Warming cause may have picked a "more green" spokesman...

BTW...if I remember my college astonomy and geology classes...other things could be in play affecting our global weather patterns...
But they just do not have the political-clout to command research grants, funding, Liberal news coverage, and those big speaking fees in the $ 50K to $ 100K per speech level...
Some of those are :
1. Normal ice age cycles that run in geological cycles of 100K's of years between cycles.
2. The 11 year or 22 year cycles of solar flare activities and climatic cycle affects.
3. The reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles which also happens in geological-time cycles.
4. The "processional" rotation of the Earth's polar axis tilt...(sort of like how a child's spinning top wobbles along its axis in a large circular path while the top continues to spin). The processional wobble of the Earth along its polar axis is around 23,000 years to make a complete circular rotation.
Enough of my digression from lugers...
