Al Gore on ice caps

Al Gore, inventor of the internet, and of "An Inconvenient Truth" fame, at some more shoe leather in Copenhagen.

In his speech, Mr Gore told the conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.”

However, the climatologist whose work Mr Gore was relying upon dropped the former Vice-President in the water with an icy blast.

“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,” Dr Maslowski said. “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

Mr Gore’s office later admitted that the 75 per cent figure was one used by Dr Maslowksi as a “ballpark figure” several years ago in a conversation with Mr Gore.

Climate-gate in Copenhagen

Luminaries, climatology pundits, government leaders, celebrities and paparazzi (er, journalists) are gathering in Copenhagen to discuss the hazards of carbon dioxide, and how we're all going to choke on ourselves. Which means sovereign governments (and banks) will need to legislate and commercialize carbon credits to regulate said carbon emissions. Never mind such actions will guarantee financial doom first (ed. note).

Meanwhile, 140 personal jets are descending upon Copenhagen's airport. Since Copenhagen doesn't have enough limousines to chauffer around the Anthropogenic Warming intelligentsia, 1200 more limos will need to be driven in from Sweden and Germany--hundreds of miles each way. Apparently, Dr.'s Leonardo DiCaprio, Daryl Hannah, Helena Christensen, and Prince Charles can't share a cab. Besides, what celebrity would be caught dead exiting a taxi in a red carpet moment?

All told, 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide will be released during the Copenhagen Climate Summit. How's that for a green carbon footprint?
