Ken Green Misses the Correlation

Over at Planet Gore, Ken Green wonders why Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Al Gore is suddenly questioning the scientific consensus on global warming. The answer is, of course, obvious. The magnitude of the threat to humanity and the global ecosystem in general posed by global warming is inversely proportional to the amount of hot air being spewed by Gore on the issue. Thus, as the magnitude of the threat decreases, the amount of hot air spewed by Gore increases, apparently to the point where predictions he once regarded as legitimate are no longer dire enough to inspire action.
