IBD: "A blizzard of lies from Al Gore"

Like a little child caught with his hand in the cookie jar, Al Gore's response to the revelation that global warming advocates fudged the data is to defend it and backpeddle as much as possible. Investor's Business Daily noted:

If hyperbole and chutzpah had a child, it would be the opening paragraph of Gore's op-ed in Sunday's New York Times. Gore surfaced from the global warming witness-protection program to opine that despite admissions of error and evidence of fraud by various agencies, we still face "an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it."

Perhaps he's trying to protect his investments as he knows them, for he is heavily involved in enterprises that deal with carbon offsets and green technology. If the case for climate change is shown to be demonstrably false, a lot of his green evaporates like moisture from the ocean.

For those who never believed the global warming hoax, it is satisfying to watch the fraud unfold and see how Al Gore's responds to some factual "inconvenient truths."
