Al Gore is not going to take any back up position in a Hillary Clinton presidency. Well, tell us something we don't know! He says that if he's ever to enter politics again it will be as a candidate for president. What he didn't say is that he wants to wait another four more years to see how many of his global warming ideas are correct. Don't we all!
The reduction in hurricanes this 2007 season didn't help!
Recent stories on the polar bears didn't help.
But maybe the news about penguins can save Al's bacon.
Antarctica's penguin population has slumped because of global warming as melting ice has destroyed nesting sites and reduced their sources of food, a WWF report said on Tuesday. The Antarctic peninsula is warming five times faster than the average in the rest of the world, affecting four penguin species.
A report entitled, "Antarctic Penguins and Climate Change", said sea ice covered 40 per cent less area than it did 26 years ago off the West Antarctic Peninsula, leading to a fall in stocks of krill, the main source of food for the chinstrap and gentoo penguins.
Meanwhile, an international team of scientists skeptical of man-made climate fears promoted by the UN and former Vice President Al Gore, descended on Bali this week to urge the world to "have the courage to do nothing" in response to UN demands.
Maybe we'll know in the next four years and then Al might be able to run for president. If the penguin study has it right. But then again, that would be 2012 end of the world scenario. Who'd want to be the president presiding over that?
