This whole thing is becoming more comical by the day. It's starting to resemble a game of "Age of Empire."

This is going to get good and possibly turn ugly.

Global warming is melting the ice cap so by the time they get there it will be gone.

I liked the line that the oil and gas would be easy to get to because of global warming and the melting of the ice. Even by Gore's account that still 100 or more years away.

Yes, weathermen can't get tomorrow's forecast right, but they can predict the temperature in 100 years. :cheeky-sm
