“It’s not a lie, I tell you!”

Al Gore recently broke his silence on “Cli­mate­Gate” (seri­ously media — do we really have to suf­fix every scan­dal with “-gate”?)  Here’s what Mr. Gore-leone said about the hacked e-mails:

What we’re see­ing is a set of changes world­wide that just make this dis­cus­sion over 10-year-old e-mails kind of silly. The entire North Polar ice cap is dis­ap­pear­ing before our very eyes. It’s been the size of the con­ti­nen­tal United States for the last 3 mil­lion years and now 40 per­cent is gone and the rest of it is going. The moun­tain glac­i­ers are going. We’ve had record storms, droughts, fires, and floods. There is an air of unre­al­ity in debat­ing these arcane points when the world is chang­ing in such dra­matic ways right in front of our eyes because of global warming.

Nice spin, Big Al.  Now here’s a lit­tle bit of an his­tor­i­cal take on the “truth” of global warming:

Make the lie big, make it sim­ple, keep say­ing it, and even­tu­ally they will believe it.  — Adolf Hitler

Appar­ently Hitler was right.  This “incon­ve­nient truth” of global warm­ing has been told for so long and so loud, that every­one is buy­ing into the lie instead of doing their own research.
