No one I know actually believes Gore said "I invented the Internet." At
the very worst they haven't heard the actual claim/poorly phrased answer
in an interview that he /created/ what is phased like the /entire/
Internet. No one in Washington, DC could actually be stupid enough to
mean something like that seriously. ... Wait, no, I take that back.

I must address this movie which was let out of the bag earlier (sorry),
I can't find /any/ base to back it up. Not even the most liberal
(overestimated), doomsday of estimates suggest the sea levels could rise
ten feet (next highest is from the UN at sixty inches). And that
presumes this will continue and climate models are accurate, which they
are not, they don't account for pirate activity: Recent Somalian pirate
activity has been lowering the temperature (check for yourself). (On a
more serious note, other things unaccounted for include ocean currents
and microbes, desert soil, cloud cover and visible, non-greenhouse
particulates most of which lower the temperature, greenhouse gases,
and/or increase cloud cover. There was a massive temperature discrepancy
when the planes were grounded after 9/11, and that's just the tip of the
iceberg. Yea puns.)
