Opposing views

Regards the Drudge story about Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" being pulled from a Seattle-area school district because they require "opposing views". From a parent:
"The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn't in the DVD."
Hey, a warmup is a warmup, whether created by Republicans or God. Gore's movie doesn't necessarily disprove the Bible.

Now, from scientific expert and the film's co-producer Laurie David:
"There is no opposing view to science, which is fact, and the facts are clear that global warming is here, now."
Wow, good thing she wasn't around when scientists were challenging the 'fact' that the earth was flat, that we were the center of the universe, or that electricity was a fluid.

Let's end this with another chart. This is the 100 year temperature trend for Olympia, Washington, on the Pacific coast and the namesake of a once-popular adult beverage. Enjoy!
