I would argue that Al Gore has done quite a lot of good this summer creating a dialouge in our country about creating a better and more adequate respose to the enviromental choices that we make and how they affect the planet on which we live.

However, all that goodwill looks to be forgotten now that Gore may have crossed into his “I’ll-say-anything-to-get-attention-like-I-created-the-internet” style of speeching by claiming that the Marlboro Man might be contributing to this past summer’s heat wave.

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a “significant contributor to global warming!”

I have a hard time accepting that statement. A very hard time.

Al, you have a bad habit of engaging the country and then thowing it all way. Keep your most outladish speculations in the lock box where they belong.
