The Expert vs. the Politician - who do you believe?
According to this piece in Sydney Morning Herald, not just “a meteorologist” but “one of the world’s foremost meteorologists” thinks Al Gore’s theory that won him the Nobel Peace Prize is “ridiculous.”
”I know what I’m talking about- that’s why we’ve got to put our economy in a Global Warming lockbox.”
This meteorologist is Dr. William Gray, whom the article claimed is a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts and whose annual forecasts of the number of tropical storms and hurricanes are widely publicized. In other words, he knows what he’s talking about.
Or maybe not. After all, Al Gore has a Bachelor of Arts degree in government (imagine, a Democrat with a degree in government- that’s almost too rich!). I’m sure the coursework for his degree was very heavily tilted to meteorology and climatology but I had no idea it would have prepared Gore to become an environmental whiz.
Sarcasm aside, as I pointed out last week Gore is stretching his credibility incredibly thin. And were I a betting man I would put my money on the expert and not a politician any day. That’s the thing, though- Gore has everything to gain by proclaiming gloom and doom – another shot at the White House – whereas Gray, who is 78 and no longer needs grants (which would be denied him if he did not lie about how much humans have to do with changes in the environment) can tell what his considered, expert opinion really is.
As Dr. Gray said, “we’ll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realize how foolish it was.”
Yep, in 15 years we’ll all be singing “Al Gore lied, the earth didn’t die!”
