In latest scare tactic, Gore warns that global warming will bring down civilization!

WASHINGTON - January 29, 2009 - Former Vice President Al Gore told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday that if action is not taken by the United States to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the world as we know it could disappear.

“If we stop global greenhouse gas emissions today, according to some scientists, we will see an increase in temperatures that many scientists believe would be extremely challenging for civilization,” Gore testified on Capitol Hill. “If we continue at today’s levels, some scientists have said it can be an increase (in global temperature) of up to 11 degrees Fahrenheit.

“This would bring a screeching halt to human civilization and threaten the fiber of life everywhere on earth,” Gore said. “And this is within the century, if we don’t change.”

Using a power point presentation, Gore showed charts and graphs that he said reveal how global warming is causing glaciers to melt around the world, depleting water supplies. He also said rising temperatures already are responsible for natural disasters in the United States, including forest fires, drought, and insect infestations that are killing trees.

Ed. Note: What about the vast majority of the world's scientists, whose combined and individual analyses show that the earth is cooling, not warming?  What about that, Mr. Gore??
