Al Gore - Dumber than Facebook Posters (you know who you are)

I admit, many years ago, I was enamored of Al Gore.  He seemed cool yet nerdy, and scientifically literate, and as a young, nascent engineer, it was refreshing to have a Senator of national prominence who could speak the language of science.

(He was also married to the music hating Tipper, and was pro-life, but that was before he had to appeal to national Democrats).

But, that was before I attempted to read Gore's "Earth in the Balance."

My first impression of Gore's pseudo-scientific tome was that it was unfootnoted, and my second impression was that it was unreadable drivel, filled with nonsensical science and conclusions.

It didn't help that Al rode a submarine to the Arctic with B-1 Bob Dornan and one of my best froends at the time, and the report was "Gore is the stupidest man alive, and B1 Bob was on him relentlessly."

Anyway, Al's out doing his usual schtick, blaming everything, including the Syrian civil war, on global warming.
