Greetings and salutations from Atlanta where we seem to have put an end to the 2 weeks or more of 100 degree plus temperatures. We're now in the mid-90s, nearly 15 degrees above normal. Certainly any give day's weather is not necessarily an indication of climate change (or calling a spade a spade, Global Warming), but I'll bet there are plenty of farmers in the U.S. who have to wonder if 2008 will be the next year to break the string of hottest years on record that we have seen in the last decade.

Think you've been hearing a lot about global warming lately? If a new climate-focused group hatched by Al Gore has its way, you ain't seen nothin' yet.It is my personal desire to "get certified" as an expert on "climate change" but the last I checked, the Gore folks had been overwhelmed with recruits and they weren't taking any more. I will see if I can climb about the train anyway (and remember, it's always better to climb on board the train than to get run over by it).
After nine months of behind-the-scenes planning and wrangling, the Alliance for Climate Protection is now nearly ready for prime time. Gore spoke about the alliance in an exclusive interview with Muckraker. He said the group aims to raise big bucks for a single goal: "To move the United States past a tipping point on climate change, beyond which the majority of the people will demand of the political leaders in both parties that they compete to offer genuinely meaningful solutions to the crisis."
