well Al is more important and he knows his followers don't mind if he takes liberties and does the opposite of what he preaches as long as he preaches it. Hell he is making big money off of these people. And in the 70's the earth was going into an ice age and the last decade it has been cooling. How long will it cool? will it warm up again? The last time I was on the north slope of alaska, I saw ice.......ice that was not suppose to be there. A lot of ice that didn't break when you got on it. Snow machines drove on it. It pushed up on the shore and for a mile was like being on an alien planet with 20 ft tall slabs of ice that pushed up in abstract positions. Saw plenty of polar bears and seals..............on the ice that you couldn't see the end of. Anyone can go take pictures of melting ice somewhere in the summer. It melts in the summer to an extent. I was there in May and all of it was there. It is not suppose to be there. Talking with the natives up there, they go whaling when the ice melts enough and the gray whales migrate through and then back out again before the ice comes back and traps them in. It is a scam just like when the people in Ore. were showing pictures of pristine wilderness in ANWR. I have been there. No pristine wilderness for 100 miles and they wanted to drill an area about the size of a postage stamp on a football field in ANWR. Not a stamp on Alaska just ANWR. And there was no wilderness there. People really have no idea how big it is up there.
