Al Gore: "Never before has all of civilization been threatened."
How does anyone take Al Gore seriously?
We live in a world with an abundance of unsecured nuclear materials. We live in a world where madmen like North Korea's Kim Jong Il possess nuclear weapons, and fanatics like Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seek such weapons. We live in a world where radical islamic jihadists openly seek to destroy the western world.
All of this, yet when Al Gore makes the above statement, to what is he referring?
You guessed it: Global Warming.
Just a thought: If somehow we were given the choice of immediately eliminating all nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons' technology from the earth, or of immediately eliminating all greenhouse gases from the earth, which would make you feel safer?
I can't imagine that anyone feels more threatened by global warming than by the threat of nuclear weapons, but maybe I'm wrong.

This reminds me of the news item I saw recently (I may have mentioned it in one of my posts, but my memory on that score is less than ideal). They talked about the Medieval Warming period, when non-manmade warming occurred, and civilization (such as it was) not only didn't get threatened, it thrived. More crops grew, more animals wandered around. Warming was a good thing for them.
Al Gore's just a kook who wants to scare us into giving him the power to threaten civilization himself.
