So far I must confess I find it rather cold. But Al Gore is much smarter than me – or at least much richer – and so I have to take it as true when he said, ten years ago on January 26, 2006, that we’re all basically toast in ten years unless we get those darned greenhouse gases under control. Which didn’t happen.
Of course as far as we can tell neither did Global Warming, but what the hell? There’s a consensus, the science is settled, not enough people bought those life-saving carbon credits, and it’s too late to worry now.
I figured the least I could do is count down to the blessed event. So the following graphic will be stickied until the end of January or the end of the world, whichever comes first…
To be fair, he didn’t say that the world would end in ten years. He actually predicted a “point of no return”, which is something quite impossible to prove except perhaps after the fact.
One thing to look forward to will be the use of Al Gore as a resource. I figure that after the lights go out and the heat fails there will be someone who will find and use Gore for the fat on his body. Just think about how much heat and light could be produced from his rotund frame…
What graphic? I don’t see any at all. 🙂
