Al Gore = Winston Churchill??

Not in my opinion. Hopefully not in many people's opinion. But, yes, apparently so in his own (humble) opinion.

Yesterday, Gore compared the fight against global warming to America fighting in WWII. No, I'm not kidding. He went so far as to compare himself to Churchill; then went on to claim that the difficulty in convincing the public that global warming is a threat compares to the unwillingness of Western powers to see Hitler as a threat in the 1930s.

Gore obviously needs a lesson in history. But if he wants to use this metaphor, I'll play along.

And if you need to get the attention of people, you might have to wait until global warming invades Poland and starts executing entire populations of people.

But if that does happen, I know what we can do. Sooner or later, Global Warming is going to get over-confident. It's going to think it can take over Russia too. But not even the ferocious power of the Global Warming war machine will be able to stand up to the Russian Winter.

And if those freezing temperatures don't prove that Global Warming can't take over the world, do you think Gore would approve of exploding atomic bombs to win our fight against global warming? I mean, it worked in WWII, right?
