The climate may be changing, but I bet there were numerous other factors that added to the conditions that killed those people...like poverty, poor infrastructure, war, famine, disease, politics (could also be listed under disease), poor hydration, and low SPF... sort of like the dust-bowl days of the late 20's and early 30's.

Meanwhile, back at the crime scene...
"So Chief, what do you think killed the poor bastard, popcorn-lung, low SPF?"
"Nice guess officer Nancy...I can tell you're up on your talking points. However, this is much more sinister."
"You don't mean..."
"Yes, officer Nancy...put an APB out for Global Warming. Now it's personal"

OK, insert heated talking points here with "the real facts" . Unfortunately this argument will continue to go absolutely nowhere forever, just like in most of the GW threads.

Global warming is not the issue here. It's about the integrity of the award and how it's become so blatantly political.

I never said Al Gore doesn't deserve some sort of acknowledgment for his work regarding the environment. I never said that global warming doesn't exist. Every time the sacred topic is remotely approached, the talking points circle-jerk erupts. It's so predictably dense.
