I didn’t see anything about Gore’s testimony in today’s paper. (I didn’t watch TV news, so I don’t know what was shown on TV.) You can see Web-based video of various parts. In particular, see the first link below for Inhofe making an ass of himself and Boxer making a point he probably can’t really absorb. mjh<\/span><\/p>\n

PS: Am I the only person disturbed by our society’s obsession with titles-for-life. Al Gore is NOT Senator Gore NOR Vice President Gore. He is former-Senator Gore or former-Vice President Gore or, hey, how about this, “Al” (I can live with Mr. Gore, if we need to be highfalutin’).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Think Progress \u00bb Gore: \u2018If The Crib\u2019s On Fire, You Don\u2019t Speculate That The Baby Is Flame-Retardant\u2019<\/p>\n

Mocking global warming deniers, Gore said, \u201cThe planet has a fever.<\/strong> If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor. If the doctor says you need to intervene here, you don\u2019t say, well I read a science fiction novel<\/em> that tells me it\u2019s not a problem. If the crib\u2019s on fire, you don\u2019t speculate that the baby is flame-retardant. You take action. The planet has a fever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al Gore to Congress: “Today, the Honorable Al Gore testified before Congress saying, \u201cI promise you a day will come when our children and grandchildren will look back and they\u2019ll ask one of two questions. Either they will ask, \u2018What in God\u2019s name were they doing? Didn\u2019t they see the evidence?<\/strong> \u2026 Or, they\u2019ll ask another question. They may look back and they\u2019ll say, \u2018How did they find the uncommon moral courage to rise above politics and redeem the promise of American democracy?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
