Al Gore has been caught out basing scary scenarios on what turn out to be highly questionable figures. What I am starting to notice – despite the efforts of some, not all, parts of the MSM – is that AGW scepticism is getting more of a hearing in the media. The effects of the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia are not fading; if anything, the momentum behind this story is building.

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

If only Senator McCarthy had been this good at hunting communists.
Well, Al Gore has been turning into the sceptic’s unintentional best friend for quite some while now. I doubt that AGW will be debunked when all the fraud is flushed and the data is purged – but Bloody Al and his ilk are another matter.
If the whole East Anglia affair achieves nothing but the casting of a long-overdue cold eye over the specialized greenhouse gasbags who shamelessly work the essential Gorean argument:
“The science says the politics are what I say, therefore give me the money, suckers!”
then it will have done more for science, politics, and ecology alike than fifty-nine all-singing celebrity campaigns teaching us to go to bed early for Gaia.
Here is to a Great Puncturing, and a return to our scheduled diversity.
Al Gore has enraged warmists because he has given a clear, falsifiable prediction for Actic melt within a timescale short enough that people will be able to call him on it.
I can smell a political scheme.
Al Gore will come forward with an “oh, I had a talk with the scientists, and the dire prediction I made last week will take longer than five to seven years. See? We are honest and scientific and this proves it”.
