Oh relax, these are great friends of mine and we jabber about politics and stuff all the time. They just think paper is better than plastic and I just pointed out that there's more to the story than first glance may indicate.

Temperature for speech breaks 125 year old record for low temperature.
 
Dear Members of the Harvard Community,
 
Although today's weather will hardly remind us of the serious problem that is global warming, today's event - the Harvard Sustainability Celebration, with a keynote address by former Vice President Al Gore - will go on, as scheduled, in Tercentenary Theatre with a program beginning at 4 p.m. We very much hope that you will attend and enjoy the festivities.
 
Starting at 3 p.m., we will be serving hot cider and soup to keep everyone warm; please dress for our changeable New England weather. Henry Longfellow, onetime Harvard professor and longtime Cantabrigian, once remarked, "The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain." We sincerely hope that, this afternoon, it won't rain. But even if it does, Harvard celebrates Sustainability with spirits undampened.
 
Sincerely,
 
The Sustainability Celebration Committee
 
Office of the President

I went to a 2003 graduation at Brown University (Rhode Island). The whole time I was there it was cold beyond belief! It even had record cold rains on the very day of the event. It literally rained all day and all night. This was LATE MAY !!! Looks like NE can still use more.... regional global warming. They sure as hell gooble up literally shiploads of heating oil and other winter petro products.

Looks like they should have moved it to Perth:
 
Perth Be Smokin' !!!
 
Perth is officially in the grip of an October heatwave, with the temperature rising above 32C for the third consecutive day - a new October record.
 
It is also the fourth day the mercury has gone above 30C, beating a record set in October 1969.
 
Yesterday’s minimum of 21.3C was the second warmest October night recorded in Perth since 1991. The maximum temperature of 35.7C recorded about 2pm made yesterday the ninth hottest October day since 1996.

If you think Al Gore has nerve now wait until Obama names him head of the Carbon Footprint Police.
 
Steve's friends will be turning him in for using plastic.
 
We of course, will deny ever knowing him lest we get hauled off to a GW re-education camp .

Let's see, relocation camps in Hawaii? LOL!
 
I remember before I got into the service I remember wildly delusional fantasies of being stationed there.

Nothing in this country surprises me anymore. When an old hack politician can generate $100,000,000 on a scam that convinces people their SUV is making it warmer half way around the globe, anything can happen. Ain't America grand?
 
PS
They better be running those SUVs off the road in Perth to cool it down a bit. Send them all to NE where they are freezing their a___ off.

Man-made global warming is bs. The earth is dynamic; it heats and cools continuously. Was the industrialization of humans responsible for the end of the last ice age?
      It simply an excuse to drain your wallet.

That effectively makes you broke, if you've been honest - playing by the rules: 1) after you pay your taxes, and 2) lose your 401K in the stock market. Oh and do you think social security is going to have $, as our leaders spend us into many trillions of debt?
 
So drain, drain, drain, drain. This certainly doesn't seem like the U.S. that Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin helped spearhead the creation of.
 
Anyone who believes in GW and wants to stop it, please send me some $ then to pay my heating bills.
