It’s sure cold out and, some say, including the Weather Channel’s creator, that it will be getting even colder soon. But a great philosopher of the age says to Congress that we are perilously close to the “tipping point” on global warming that will render human civilization impossible:

as long as we continue to depend on dirty fossil fuels like coal and oil to meet our energy needs, and dump 70 million tons of global warming pollution into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet, we move closer and closer to several dangerous tipping points which scientists have repeatedly warned -– again just yesterday –- will threaten to make it impossible for us to avoid irretrievable destruction of the conditions that make human civilization possible on this planet.

No doubt the majority in Congress will find Mr. Gore’s logic compelling. However, this is the same Congress that boldly ventures into self-parody with its plans for economic stimulus.
