On Monday, December 10, 2007 Al Gore and the UN IPCC accepted their Nobel Peace Prize for raising awareness of Global Warming, while on the
same day the American Midwest was slammed with a horrendous ice storm.  In Oklahoma alone as of Wednesday this storm has been blamed for 32 deaths according to this AP report.  Then these climate prophecy zealots including Mr. Gore headed to a luxury resort in Bali for a two-week forum on Global Warming. According to this Bloomberg report their travel will produce as much carbon in the atmosphere as 20,000 cars do in a year.  An international team of skeptical scientists showed up at the forum, and had a clear message for the participants of the forum: “Climate change is a non-problem. The right answer to a non problem is to have the courage to do nothing.”  See more about these level-headed scientists and their reception at the conference here.
Once, great scientific minds like Albert Einstein were awarded the Nobel Prize.  Now, one can be had for creating a bad sci-fi horror flick.  Mr. Gore said in a statement, “We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual (???) challenge to all of humanity.”  I’m not Catholic, but I’ll take the Pope’s side on this one.
