You have to check out this Youtube video!! - Late last week, when speaking at a global warming conference, Al Gore said global warming was worse than any war, 9/11...etc.  Fortunately, Americans for Prosperity was there capturing the people coming into the forum in there carbon-spewing cars (no public transportation, SegWay, walking, horseback riding, teleporting, 1.21 Gigawatt Delorian..etc).  Watch the entire clip, because at 3:27 they ask Al Gore's limo driver why he was idling with the air conditioning on....
