Re: is holmes lurking out there?
I saw Inconvienant Truth several weeks ago. Its amazing how much as a speaker Gore has improved since the presidentail campaign.
Probably one of the most compelling things that he brought forward was the comparisons of the glaciars older photos to current photos.
That one was a minor story compared to how i remember in 4th grade looking at the geographical map in my social studies book. I always liked looking at Africa because it had a really large set of rivers and a huge lake. Lake Chad, which coincidentally...um doesn't seem to be much of a lake anymore. Which when searching online i found a NASA source...but all their links seem to be broken
But the USGS had some nice satellite phots of it.

Re: Global Warming
I can't argue with that. You know, Illinois Senator, Barack Obama, gave a lengthy speech on SUV's and how terrible they are and everyone needs to get new, more compact vehicles that use FlexFuel. After the speech was over he got into his GMC Envoy, one of the largest SUV's on the market. Despite Obama's hypocrisy,
I would point out there are other reasons then enviromental ones that Barack gets into an Envoy as well as possibilities for security reason. Also the envoy is probably diesel vs gasoline. Which while dirtier then gas is far more efficient then gas. Could also be running on the vegetaable oils, you never know could of had a biodiesel engine, I mean the military has had those suckers for ages.
And your post appears to contradict yourself, as you setup a phrase that makes Obama look bad yet you are going over to his points. He does believe flexfuel will provide some short term solutions like you do. But you put him down in the same breath that you praised him.
