The Goracle Needs A New Analogy

Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise questioned the science of [global warming]. Frustrated, Mr. Gore retorted, “There are people who still believe that the moon landing was staged on a movie lot in Arizona.”

Dr Aldrin said he was sceptical of climate change theories.

"I think the climate has been changing for billions of years," he said.

"If it's warming now, it may cool off later. I'm not in favour of just taking short-term isolated situations and depleting our resources to keep our climate just the way it is today.

"I'm not necessarily of the school that we are causing it all, I think the world is causing it."

"The Goracle Needs A New Analogy"

I think you misspelled that last part... shouldn't it have been:

"The Goracle Needs A New Brain"?

It's pretty damned obvious that the current one isn't working. It's, as the man said, "Stuck On Stupid".

From the article itself:

> The world watched the astronaut and his mission commander Neil Armstrong become the first humans to walk on the moon on July 20, 1960, as part of the Apollo 11 mission.


DOH!!!

Just a wee bit early.

Try "1969".

I really don't understand this part

"I'm not necessarily of the school that we are causing it all, I think the world is causing it."

The world????? is he referring to non-US countries?
