Al Gore

Today I am glad to hear Al Gore, the man who almost the president of U.S., received Nobel peace prize for his global warming work.

Temperature fluctuates day to day and annually. Therefore global warming is not as clear cut as black and white. Years back while I was still a University student, I read an article in Student Daily by a statician using advanced statistics to show the earth is gradually warming up. He emhasized it was a big concern since the increase was not linear but exponential. I remember it because I was impressed by the math.

Over a decade later, I felt the chill went up my spline when I saw the statistican's prediction was becoming reality shown by Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." While the Canadian natives are watching the Arctic ice disappearing and thousands of scientists around the world from various fields confirmed the trend, special interest groups continue to denny the overwhelming scientific facts. Aren't those people care the earth our children will inherit from us? Those are perhaps the same people who insist weapons of massive destruction are still hidden somewhere in Iraq.
