A Year Here, A Year There, And Soon You're Talking About Real Time

I thought Al Gore was the Mr. Wizard of Climatology....

"Countries like China, just to give an example, which will next year be the largest emitter in the world, can't be excluded just because it's technically a developing country," Gore said. "When you look at the absolute amount of CO2 each year and going forward, China will soon surpass the U.S."

Gore said that as the Asian giant's economy expands, China faces an increased risk from climate change and must leapfrog old, polluting technologies while maintaining growth.

but then we read that actually...

The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency said in June that China overtook the United States in carbon dioxide emissions by about 7.5 percent in 2006.

2006, 2007, 2008 well at least they're all in the same decade.


At least he's doing better than the hurricane experts.
