Does Gore know that joke's on us?

Al Gore is such a kidder. First, as vice president, he announced to the world that he invented the Internet! Now that was funny.

This year, an English court has forbidden English schools from showing Al's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," unless it contains a warning to the kids that it contains many untrue facts about global warming. Can the Academy get its Oscar back?

Then in Copenhagen at the climate circus, Al informed everybody that the Earth's core is millions of degrees hot. Now that is really funny because if that were true, we would all be burned out cinders. Al was only off by about 1,500 percent.

To whip up the global warming hysteria again after the Climategate e-mails, Al just informed everybody that unless there was a 70 percent change that all the Arctic ice would be melted in seven years. The only problem is the scientist Al quoted as the source quickly informed the press that he never said that. Now this would all be hilarious if Al's pretend global warming routine wasn't going to cost us trillions of dollars in new taxes and 2 million jobs shipped to China.

Here is why Al's not laughing. So far, Al has earned $100 million dollars selling global warming. If the cap and trade tax passes, Al stands to make $1 billion dollars with his global warming investments, and you and I will be paying for it! Pretty funny, huh?
