			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the talks in Copenhagen wrapping up, there is chaos on the inside –<a title="Tensions Increase as Poor Nations Stage a Protest" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126079318461090419.html" target="_blank">poor nations walk out </a>–and chaos on the outside –<a title="Cops use tear gas on crowds" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2009/12/16/2009-12-16_chaos_in_copenhagen_at_climate_conference_cops_use_tear_gas_on_crowds_detain_ove.html" target="_blank">cops use tear gas on protestors</a>.</p>
<p>And if that wasn’t enough, Al Gore couldn’t resist embarrassing himself… again.  The last time he did this was when he stated that “<a title="Al Gore on Conan O'Brien" href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NDcxYThlNzBkOTcyM2EzZmM2MDEyNjFjOGQ3ZmE5M2M=" target="_blank">the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees…</a>”  Most scientists agree that the earth’s core is around 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, certainly less than 10,000 degrees.  By contrast, the surface of the sun is 6,000 degrees.  So, he was off by a factor of at least 100!  Makes you wonder if he’s related to Nancy Pelosi who claimed <a title="Pelosi: 500 million jobs lost every month" href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/02/04/pelosi-500-million-jobs-lost-every-month/" target="_blank">we are losing 500 million jobs a month</a>.  Last I checked, there are about 350 million Americans total… uhm… legal Americans, that is.</p>
<p>With the aftermath of ClimateGate still rippling through the Copenhagen’s talks, Gore added to the lack of good science on the subject.  His latest gaffe came this week when he said that <a title="Al Gore Gets It Wrong at Copenhagen Talks" href="http://www.sphere.com/world/article/al-gore-fudges-numbers-at-climate-change-summit-in-copenhagen/19281919" target="_blank">the polar ice cap would have no summer ice within five to seven years</a>.  However, the scientist Gore was quoting disagrees, saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at.  I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.&#8221;  &#8211;Dr. Wieslaw Maslowski</p></blockquote>
<p>Ouch!</p>
<ul>
<li>ClimateGate</li>
<li>EPA labeling carbon dioxide, a natural by-product of aerobic respiration, as “dangerous to the health and welfare of humans”</li>
<li>Protestors outside the Copenhagen talks</li>
<li>Poor nations walking out of the Copenhagen talks</li>
<li>Al Gore making outrageous claims</li>
</ul>
<p>This is the true face of the global warming movement…  Shame, shame, shame</p>
